i checked to see if you were trolling by looking at another thread where you said you had a 3.7 business GPA. add that.
Clownfish my business gpa is in my new resume as well, I know how important that is with my fairly low cumulative gpa
I am almost tempted to tell you to remove your cumulative GPA and leave your business GPA on there with the added caveat of Major GPA - 3.7 or something. Was wondering if anyone else could shed light here?
Plus- great re-write. Good job.
This is definitely one of the better formatted resumes I've seen posted on WSO, good job. A few tips:
1) I don't think it's good form to have any entries with only one bullet point (looking a the paid note-taking job), so I'd try and add some more detail, or remove it. Why not also quantify your achievement? How many notes did you take, how many students did you help, etc.?
2) Not sure what suggested change I'd offer, but it seems like a waste of space to put down that you're skilled in Word, Excel, PowerPoint... people expect this already. Maybe delete the line so you have more space to add detail on your past work experiences? Add a line about language proficiency (if any) instead?
3) Your top two entries are not in order chronologically - the note taking job started most recently. I understand that you probably have them in the current order because you want to emphasize the Northwestern Mutual job, but this inconsistency was just something that jumped out.
4) Try and quantify more achievements, where possible. In your last entry, you write exactly how many hours of service you completed. This is what you should be doing throughout your resume (especially the Northwestern Mutual job, surely there are some achievements that you can quantify).
Your experience at Northwestern Mutual sounds great, but your bullet points don't tell me that much about what you learned or what value you added to your team. The last bullet point is great, but the others could be more specific.
Some specific points: Under "Finance Society" - Manage virtual portfolios in virtual stock competitions, analyzing market trends (and company fundamentals and technicals?) in order to make profitable trades Under "Feed the Hungry Program" - ...a variety of Boston soup kitchens, day shelters, and other philanthropic organizations.
Formatting: Employment dates should align right.
change your verbs to past tense and show the results of your work
sorry, replace*
agree with posts above. maybe add to skills and interests section? something less generic perhaps
-Margin on the right is fucked up, push locations and dates so that they align with the end of the divider lines on the right of the page. (This is not a minor error, any banker with "the eye" will cringe if they see this for real.)
-Under skills and interests, you're using two different list conventions (comma-separated for "Skills," comma-separated with "and" for "Interest"). Conform.
-Inconsistent usage of oxford commas (shows up in first bullet of third WE item, but doesn't show up in first bullet of first WE item). Conform.
-Change all leading action verbs to PT.
I do not know what you mean by the margin being messed up, could you try and clarify? Thanks for all the help!
Push dates and locations to align with the right edge of the page.
Your bullets suck. As the fraternity treasurer you "decide how wrongdoings are handled?" what does that even mean? As a custodian you vacuumed and swept? lol. Each bullet point should be quantifying your worth in some way. You need numbers, accomplishments, etc. Talk about why you were good at what you did, not just that you did it. Don't say you were a custodian. Tell them you kept the place in tip top shape. You didn't "handle wrongdoings;" you made sure every mother f***er in your fraternity was an angel.
I would just put Major GPA: 3.7 / 4.0. If it's a solid 3.7 (3.695-3.744) then I would show two decimal places.
Your only skills are Microsoft Office?
Italicize your position (IMO), just a stylistic preference
You've got a better chance at landing a sales oriented role. You've decided to go with Northwestern Mutual as a licensed representative. Essentially, you aren't doing any modeling or anything even remotely related to IB. I'd recommend you apply to S&T for a sales job.
