Been cold-calling every firm remotely related to finance for school-year internships, but not that much looks promising until next semester. I'm looking for a boutique/MM/real estate finance internship for next summer, then planning on an MSF. Thanks in advance for any advice/revisions.

Here's another Private Equity Resume Review thread.

Hi guys,

I'm new to WSO and this is my first post. I've been reading all the highly starred threads and learning about how to enter this industry. I finally wrote up a resume, and would really like to see what you think. I apologize if this is hard to read.

Here's another Private Equity Resume Review thread.

Resume Review - Non-Target

Hello,

I will be graduating in a couple of months from a non-target school and would very much appreciate your feedback on my resume. I have a lot of international experience and have recently become very interested in consulting. Obviously I lack the impressive credentials of many fellow forum members, but I've done my best to stay busy and get exposure to different industries/fields. It would be great to hear back on what you think I should concentrate on in order to be able to obtain a position at a top consulting firm after graduation.

Thank you!

I updated it to include the side projects I've been working on.

I'd appreciate if some of the the more experienced monkeys with PE experience can chime in whether or not thats a good idea.

Thanks.

FYI.. I blacked out the dates for my boutique job... but it should read from the start date... to present. I'm still there, the business I started up is on the side.
