Take your HS shit off.
Relevant coursework is always a bad idea unless you can mention high-level math or finance classes. Too many bullet points High school is irrelevant no matter what GPA. Your math award is only one award. It should not have three line-item description points, and describing it as "competing against Asian nations" sounds either racist or cumbersome. Language is probably not important Your skills, activities and interests section could be separated and spread out more to be more effective.
Explain what you've learned in more detail. And take off that shadowing this attended this presentation crap. You said something about stock analysis.... Explain it a bit more, technical/fundamental/quantitative?
Your interested are sudoku and math? That's not going to catch anyone's eye. If I was a recruiter I would ding you for being boring. Get involved in some cool interested, unique exciting. Something that you can start a conversation about and get your interviewer interested. No one wants to hear you talk about how awesome that last puzzle you did was. I have boar hunting, deep sea fishing, scuba diving, golf and poker. And I could tell some crazy stories about each.
Put just calculus, don't limit your self from the start, leave space for question.
Personally, I would separate the work and leadership experience into 2 different sections. The award section is a bit odd because you list out only one award. Perhaps you can combine the techncial analysis group and your award to a section "Leadership & Activities" instead
WSO Resume Review Score*: 10 (out of 15 possible)
Some explanation of the grading:
1, Wording/Bullets: This score represents the overall wording of the bullets and content throughout the resume. Are there action words? are the experiences explained clearly? Does the candidate quantify their impact where possible?
Layout/Format: This score represents to overall layout and format. Finance professionals are notorious for being anal. Although this score is somewhat subjective, there are certain things we look for including consistency, spacing, clean look, clear sections, proper order, etc.
Overall: This score represents the experiences and school of the candidate and is the hardest to change in the short term. Improving the Wording/Bullets and Layout/Format scores can bump this grade up (usually by 1 grade at most), however, this grade depends largely on the School, GPA, Internships, Leadership, Extracurriculars of the applicant, etc.
We are going to try to provide a candid / direct grading system for as many resumes as we can in this Public Resume Review forum, with the hopes that it will lead candidates that need help on #1. and #2 criteria to consider the WSO Resume Review service that has experienced professionals ready to help bring the #1 and #2 score as close to a 4 or 5 as possible. Due to time contraints, I can't provide more detail and I can only provide this grade to each candidate once (if you try to repost and updated version under a different username, i will recognize it and ignore). What I will say is that if you aren't at a 4 or 5 in Wording and Layout, we can probably help you make significant improvments.
Some more guidelines for total overall score:
3 - 6: Needs MAJOR help / improvements in several areas 7 - 8: Has some major flaws but also has some good areas 9 - 11: An average to slightly above average resume that could still use some help but it is on "ok" shape 12 - 13: A competitive resume that should be able to land some competitive interviews 14 - 15: An impressive resume on all or almost all levels. Wording/Bullets/Layout/format and overall experience, grades, school, etc are all excellent or very good.
We suggest if you score in the bottom 3 categories listed above that you strongly consider the WSO Resume Review service. Whatever you decide, best of luck!
Thanks, Patrick
Took into consideration all of the comments, thanks everyone! Reduced most of my HS information, but left some of it because the interviewer might find it interesting and bring it up (went to school in another country), so it can provide a topic to talk about. Made a few other changes too.
I updated the link in the original post, your feedback is appreciated!
