WSO Author has revised his resume; SBs to any advice.

I'd put it under technicals skills or make a separate certifications section, both under 'Skills & Abilities'

I would seperate your second section into "expierence" and "activities" (and you can make a "other activites" section under the bottom section). I know that this goes against the M&I format you implemented, but it has worked very well for me.

Kudos to what was said above.

I don't think she missed it because it was in the education section - I think she missed it because it was in the same line as GPA, and seems at first glance to be extraneous detail about your university. If the point is that this training compensates for your unrelated degree, I would definitely keep it in the education section. Just create a second bullet so it stands out. Maybe make up for the lost space by shortening the engineering internship section.

Quick notes:

• Put the month and year you graduated, not the range of dates.

• Your WSO bullets need to be in present tense.

• In general it just seems bland.

I'm guessing you stuck with one-line bullet points on purpose, but your second experience seems a bit heavy on the points - if you're not averse to it I think your 4th and 5th bullet points could be combined. Regardless, I think the last 2 points seem like they would better belong in the middle from a chronological perspective.

as a small nitpick, our school harps on us to never use articles (a/an/the) in resumes. maybe worth considering because it compacts it a little, makes it sound more resume-y, but if it throws your spacing too much then don't bother.

For your fraternity experience, I wouldn't use "Overachieved" as a verb. Maybe it's just me but it sounds a bit pompous/douchey. "Surpassed" or "Exceeded" might do better here.

I've been told by recruiters that I should add my certificates in the education section. That said, Separate each of them in individual lines. It will create the illusion of a heavy weight something. (I know it's sad, but even HR at work said the same thing)

• Put your ACT score
• Drop the second decimal from GPA
• You need the Wall St training stuff to be on a separate line - was that actually through university?
• Did your transaction close? All of your bullets are focused on it, and I don't know the first thing about what you actually did - it took you and a team of three interns two months to do what an analyst should be able to do in an hour. I definitely don't care how many drafts you did, and if it was only 7, that's not impressive. Show results, show what you learned, tell a story. This should be the key point of your resume
• Don't like "acquired knowledge," this doesn't tell me anything
• Again, try to show you actually made a difference at your internships - rather than simply passing through tasks, you actually made something happen
• If you're considering trading rather than IBD the poker should be more prominent somehow

that "WallStreetOasis.com Contributing Author" looks pretty sweet up on top of experience... if that doesnt get you an interview I dont know what will :)

U Chicago?
