Would really appreciate if anyone could talk about their recent experience with this service.

Hey all,

I'm a long time reader of the forums and am hoping for some resume advice as I continue to apply for full time positions. Please rip my resume to shreds.

I appreciate any advice, input, or criticism.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Hi! Resume question here

For a certain college club I'm very involved in, I was just a member of the club for about a semester, but afterwards had 2 leadership positions, one more important than the other. How should i represent all my experience with the club? I don't want to list everything (member - position x - position y . . ) because it takes up a lot of room, but I'm not sure what I should take out.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I got accepted into an asset management case study conference at a regional firm. Considering how many people apply and how few get accepted (less than 50), is it worth it to mention this on my CV?

The study consists of working with a small group to present our case on a specific company, and whether or not they should invest in said company. Obviously research is involved

If I do include this on my resume, what section should it be listed under?

Since I am home for the summer stacking up on credits while working a related internship, I thought it would be a good idea to rack up some volunteering experience for the resume during the weekends. The end goal is to break into consulting next year before I graduate.

My question: What relevant organizations take on volunteers?

I have already volunteered at SCORE as a Certified Mentor. I can go back but I was wondering if there are any other organizations I should be looking at before returning.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

I've been working as an independent consultant for the last year. In this time, I've had a number of clients that are geographically varied. My question is: on my resume, shall I list these clients? There are about 4, and one or two are names worth mentioning - one being a startup that's been in the news recently, and the other being a a large international organization akin to the UN. How does one put this on a resume? Bearing in mind that space is limited.

Thanks!

Hello there,
A friend of mine recommended this site here as I'm really interessted in getting into finance and I would appreciate your advice. This is my background, I'm 24 from germany and i didnt finish my final highschool exam but i will do those this year. I've been working abroad since I left school and I'd really love to get into finance.
Would you guys have any advice for me as regards what results I'd have to have and what university in europe would be best to study finance in.Im currently in the UK.
And also if im honest im still not sure if its investment banking or trading that would be for me.

Thanks for any help.

Silly request. I worked on a lead left IPO that closed a couple of months ago and I'm going to add it to my resume. Can anybody who has worked on one post the bullets they put on their resume? Obviously you should redact company name, etc. Would really only be helpful if you were on the left since in my experience the other bookrunners do virtually nothing at the junior level.

Thanks

Hi Monkeys! I'm hoping to make a move to RE PM and I wanted to list my real estate investment (approx 200k equity) on my resume. I've been leasing the investment since 2009, and also made a spreadsheet w/ an amortization schedule that changes depending on my prepayments and where I think interest rates will go. Should this go under interests or is it worthy to have its own line item? Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm currently a sophomore at a semi-target. This summer I am planning on studying abroad in Asia but I get back to the States a month and a half before school starts.

Now the issue is, what to do in that month? I probably won't be able to land a legitimate internship so my plan for now is to apply for a retail job just to occupy my time. Should I put this experience (likely flipping burgers or working in a store) on my resume? I already have some decent internship experience from last summer at a relatively well known financial services firm. I'm afraid the new "lesser" experience will take up the prime spot of my better experience from earlier. What do I do?

Thanks for your help!

Hey guys

So i am on WSO for quite some time already, although I signed up only today, just want to say that I like the site and the members here.

So here I go, I am a final year student in Acc and Finance hoping to get a summer internship in the finance industry (bank, professional firms, PE, etc).

I have re-edited my resume a countless times however I havent got any replies. so thought of giving a try here. FYI, I study in malaysia.

thanks

Real quick question for the experts:

I am working at a privately held company with very closely guarded financials. If I were to send my resume out, how would you go about doing so without comprimising the integrity of the company's #'s? Would I say I created the $100MM budget or would I write out $XXXMM and does one look better one way or another?

Hey y'all

I'm new in this forum and I would appreciate any recommendation regarding my resume. I'm graduating this coming May with a Finance degree. When I graduate I will be heading to the DC area and applying (already have been) to all entry level financial analyst, advisor, IB, corporate finance, consulting, you name it. My work experience is from the corporate headquarters of a major bank in the S&P 500, granted in the mortgage division. My major GPA is around a 3.4.

So far I have received an offer from the bank I have worked for although the pay not what I imagined receiving right out of college, it is just not enough. I have great interviewing skills so I just want my resume to get through the first process and I can excel after that.

I have a quick question regarding writing resume. The company I used to be working for was recently acquired by another bigger firm. Should I still put the former employer's name on my resume, or can I simply put down the acquiring firm's name?

So, here's my resume.

There are two points under experience that I am going to fill out after this summer. Don't worry about that.

One of my questions now is where should I put my test scores? I originally had them bulleted in my undergrad, but moved them to the bottom because it seemed a little out of place. But at the same time, I don't want them to get lost in the mess of interests/bottom of the page filler. My undergrad gpa was not good (3.1), so I'm trying to make up for that somehow. Do you think it would look bad in place of "Dean's List: 7 semesters?"

Also, any other critiques are more than welcome.

Thanks

Hi guys:

I'd like to see if anyone on this forum could give me advice and suggestions regarding my resume.

Cheers,

P!

Sorry to disappoint, but I am a guy.

Now that I have your attention, Please kindly help review my resume.

I am currently at senior at an non-target University. I will be graduating on December, 2013. As of right now, I still do not know what I want to get into. After looking at my resume, I hope everyone could help me answer the following 4 questions:

1). How competitive is my resume? and what are my career options?

2). On my last semester in college, would it be more wise to focus on job search or more beneficial to have another internship.

3). How bad is my GPA? ( I am Asian, Yes I know its terrible to have an 3.4), since I plan to get an MBA in 2 years

4). What field/industry would you suggest me going into to give me the highest return based on my resume?

I wonder how would the name Dealogic sound on my resume in the future if I'm switching to larger firms such as MoodyAnalytics, S&P, Reuters, and Bloomberg. Thank you.

Performed, led, sourced...

any others?

Hey ballers, i am ugrad graduate.

I have 3 real work experiences and 3 "leader of finance club" types of experience.

Can I just put them all into "work experience"?

or should i keep them separated as "work experience" and "Leadership & Extra-curricular"

Could it help for someone who has a very common name?

I'm looking for someone who is very experienced in resume writing to help me build my resume from scratch. Please reply or PM to make a reasonable offer if interested. Thanks!

Hello Monkeys,

Apologies in advance if this offends anyone. I'm just looking for some practical advice here...

While I am white, I have a last name that can easily be construed as Asian. In some social occasions, I have met people in person (after having been in touch through email), and they were surprised that I was white.

My question is whether this could count against me on my resume.

I've been thinking about including my long, Scottish-sounding middle names on my resume to make it clear.

Any thoughts and advice are welcome. Thanks.

Hello helpful WSOers,

Spent some time fixing up my resume to network/ send to connections/ etc. My goal is an internship in a boutique firm, consulting firm, or an entry-level financial analyst position. Please critique and criticize as much as possible, thank you!!!

PS apologies for attaching it as a file.... Razume is taking a very long time to upload for some reason.

Any input on my resume is greatly welcome, I'm a college senior and complete novice at the employment market.

I've heard mixed opinions on this. If I take the GMAT during college, is it helpful in any way to put in on your undergraduate resume?

I am looking into consulting or finance(i-banking).

Hey guys, I'm a Junior non-target Finance and Economics double major basically looking for any financial services internship at this point. I have sent out my resume to many places so far but I am just looking for some further advice. Thanks in advance
