Undergrad Resume for FT Positions - Please Review

Very rarely does someone from my school go into Investment Banking as I go to a non target school in the middle of nowhere. Because of this, I have no idea if I am too ambitious by wanting a FT analyst position and would appreciate some feedback if I have a chance of landing a FT position at any size bank. Please rip into my resume as I know it can always improve. Thank you!

Edit: I see that I use "Current" and "Present"... just assume I corrected that.

  1. Keep your month format consistent (either stick to mmm or spell out completely)
  2. Put your Graduation date inline with the top of your academic experience (same format as work experience) - you can put GPA right below
  3. Keep your hyphens consistent - you switch between the long and short in the dates
  4. Are you paid to be a peer mentor? If not, put under activities
  5. Seems really crowded (no spacing before or after headings (Education / Prof. exp. etc.)
  6. You need to focus more on your prof. exp. rather than your activities (I would actually cut all your activities into bullet points composed of your organization and role only - save the details as fodder for the interview).
 

Agree with the points TorontoMonkey1328 made. Also, check for extra spacing in some of the bullets. I would recommend the M&I or WSO resume formats since it is the cleanest and most consistent resume templates around. There is good content there, but there is sense of eyes being overwhelmed from first glance.

 

I would say that a resume won't ever get you the job, but can help you lose it.

No one is ever hired because their resume is amazing. At best, as a follow up to networking, a well-crafted resume can make sure you progress to the first round interview after a successful informational interview.

You should invest time to make sure your resume is perfect. But you should only expect it to "not prevent you" from getting where you want (versus thinking that it is valuable in and of itself).
