Senior going in for full-time OCR

First language not English, there will be grammar mistakes to correct. Feel free to point them out.

I honestly didn't do much at the asset manager other than doing utility stock pitches as my project so I'm not sure what to put there. Not gonna bother blacking out school name since some people think it's a target and others don't. Thanks in advance.

i think higher of you for not blacking it out FWIW, it doesn't really matter if your school is a target or not if you're qualified, you're qualified (though NYU stern is fantastic)

anyway, as for your resume...

  1. obviously, fix the typos
  2. ukelele?
  3. relevant coursework is pointless: you're a finance major, so it's almost assumed you've already taken these. relevant coursework is only for people who studied things like history, who need to make a point of having some technical knowledge
  4. you have some future tense, some present tense- please fix that
  5. resume looks just a little dense imho. consider cutting just a teensy bit

Hi matayo, you sound like a recruiter for BBs banks who have recruited students now for 5-10 yrs. Do you mind if I PM you with a few recruitment related questions?
"I do not think that there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
 

IB gig - first 2 bullets sound too similar. Use public comps instead of "similar public..." Use "Assembled" instead of "Put together"

Trading gig - say distributed to traders, if you know how many, then include it.

Bullet 4 on BD gig is smaller than the rest.

Business club - use another word besides "doing" - maybe "performing"

Otherwise it looks solid and you'll definitely be a top candidate.
