Resume review, Travelled for 2 years post degree and now looking for job

Hey,

this is my resume for first time jobs in the finance related industry, I can swap in and out different courses in the top section to make it more job appropriate (aka accounting courses for accounting job).

Also I have played poker for past 2 years professionally as well as coached other poker players to be more sucessful, I normally leave this off, but just wondering your thoughts on this as well.

any and all harsh comments welcome :)

Any sophomore with an internship is more qualified for full-time work than you are.

As it stands, no one is going to hire you for anything except insurance sales. Were I in your shoes, and with that target school degree, I'd look for a solid internship somewhere and covertly stab my boss so I can get hired while he's on medical leave.

Better yet, go do a MSF and hit the recruiting cycle.

EDIT: As for the resume itself, looks great. Change your GPA to a 4.0 scale.

in it 2 win it
 

@kidflash @unforseen Ok so should I just write a quick point in Other Experiences about my poker experience.

Something like • Used well-developed analytical skills to extract meaningful information from various databases and successfully managed risk to generate over $150 000 in three years playing poker online

and thoughts on my poker coaching/training work? • Coached and trained struggling or losing poker players and sucessfully increased their income from poker

Or should I replace teaching experience with that and leave other experience alone?

thanks for the critique
