so u did 4 ib/pe related internships and none of them would take u afterward?...
.
if ur not trolling, the story is mindblowing to me... gotta recommend mods to put this on the front page...
Doubt he's trolling. I don't think anyone would make the effort to create an entire resume just for the sake of trolling.
I know who this guy is and can confirm he's the hardest working guy you'll ever meet. Hang in there friend but maybe consider working in transaction services, dispute consulting, valuation advisory, risk management etc...
I'm not suprised he didn't land anything - interning in PE often doesn't come with a job offer - interns = cheap labor.
SB'ed you for your persistence... Hang in there! (your icon is kinda whack tho)

Move the education to the top is all I can really say. Generally, it looks fine, but from my experience (I had several internships prior to a FT offer but I'm not in IB) is that the question will be asked as to why you only had internships and why none of them led to an offer. So prepare to have a compelling answer and you ought to be fine. Good luck.
Hats off to you man. I would say keep at it, networking would be the key at this point. Its going to be a great success story you can tell every kid that cold calls you 10 years from now.
Also, take this with a grain of salt but I think you should split up your work at the internships by deals that you worked on. Maybe highlight 2 deals from each one that you really had strong input on, then go on to say something about day-to-day or whatever else. I think focusing more on deals will highlight your competetive advantage over others.
Also, you start with "worked" alot. Perhaps try and find a more exact verb. This seems consistent but you say "two" a couple of times, but then have "5" or "7". I would list it all as a number, but thats just personal opinion.
Overall, i feel that the format is difficult to read. I would try to subdivide things more clearly. Use bold and different bullets when neccessary
The one line about 65 targets...it would be easier to just say sourced and researched 65 targets, narrowed to 12, and performed further dd on 5
Again, hopefully someone else can chime in on some of this, and its just my personal opinion

The dude's only other post. No way this is real.
I love swagon's advice in that thread.

That one is what you call satire bro, satire. This thread is the for realz. And frankly, Swagon's advice in this one was even better imo: http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/networking-with-dates-father-part…]
Was more of referring to the fact that you had posted a few douchey posts and then proceeded to post a resume that easily identifies you to anyone who knows of your situation. Would have thought someone who's at the point that they're willing to take nearly anything would at least make an attempt not to seem immature to anyone who might be in a position to hire them.
you should change "science fiction" to star wars...that will stop you from getting dinged...anyone who doesnt wanna talk about star wars isnt someone worth working for
