As before, I am greatly looking forward to everyone's insight - Thanks again in advance!
Your resume kind of blows right now. Go search for the Mergers and Incquisitons Format, read the advice he gives and revise it yourself. Then come post it here and I will offer input.
I appreciate the honesty! My primary objective is to define the weaknesses and improve. I look forward to hearing your new opinions when I post a revised copy.
Better?: http://www.razume.com/documents/24672
I'll start out by suggesting the mergers and inquisitions resume format.
Beyond that: You list your academic honors twice on there. Only include it once. Get rid of your proficiency in Microsoft Office- this is already expected. Don't include Excel as a skill unless you are a VBA master. I'm not a fan of the summary section- this should all be apparent throughout your resume. I think you should get rid of it. I would also get rid of relevant coursework- no one really cares about this unless you are still in undergrad/don't have real work experience. Your dates aren't aligned on the right.
I don't mean to be a dick but you are going to need to seriously hustle to land a FO gig. I would scrap your current resume format and go with the M&I one. Also, listen to the suggestions in the resume article.
Network. Network. Network.
Good luck. I was in a similar position as you and have an offer with a boutique bank. It isn't glamorous and the process is difficult, but BO to FO is certainly possible.
Thanks for the input - I'm currently working on some adjustments per your enlightenment. Also wanted to point out that the alignment issue with the dates was due to anonymizing my Inclusion items ("Company Society") threw the spacing off, but not an issue on my actual resume. Thanks again!
I genuinely appreciate the advice - Please keep the recommendations coming! I'll be allocating some time after work to determine a more optimal flow and adjusting the formatting issues mentioned above. Again - many thanks!
I'm under the full assumption that will continue to be an uphill battle at the least, but will continue to enjoy the CHALLENGE!
Here is the new and improved copy. I scrapped the old format and changed a considerable amount of content. I hope its a step in the right direction and am looking forward to comments/criticism/insults that will hopefully follow.

Visually, huge improvement. Still not a fan of including coursework in there, but I guess if you can't fill it with anything else then that will have to do.
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm fully aware that the coursework section is not something that should be accentuated, but think that it counters the lack of relevancy in my current role and internship. I've been told that it can be useful in conveying that I do have a stronger understanding of finance than assumed. I wasn't a Finance major, and I believe this is the most effective solution to overcoming that hurdle. I did, however, move it to the bottom of experience.
Again, thanks for the advice and encouragement!
To start take your coursework off, you've worked for a year dude. Personally, from someone who is in IB if I saw a resume with coursework listed on it I'd put it in the trash.Take the language section off, unless you are fluent I don't want to read about it. I'd try to come up with a more appealing interest than "College Football", your a dude it is assumed that you like football. You can or cannot list your GPA up to you, most will tell you after a year to take the shit off, other prefer to see it. Up to you, on mine I leave it off and it was over 3.0
