Please help me improve my resume
Hi!
I would like you guys help me tear apart my resume! I am mainly interested in a career within consulting or IB but I haven't excluded other industries. Be as honest as possible: please focus on content, format, grammar etc. And also, since there is nothing I can do about my existing experiences, please focus on relevance etc. rather than personal achievements.
Cheers!

Can you stop spamming threads for people to review your resume?
Also keep in mind that for consulting and IB you will need to split this into targeted resumes for each sector. Obviously you don't want to be applying to IB with a bullet point about how you became more interesting in consulting
best to change your name. Nobody will believe that you are Hermione Granger!
Capitalize the word "management" when listing your majors
Clarify whether or not you are getting a doubl-major in finance and management, or a major/minor.
Your relevant coursework section looks really unfinished and empty with only "Microeconomics" on that line. I would add more courses, or expand on what you have, even if it's just writing filler words like "Foundational Principles of Microeconomics"
I would list specific accounting principles and how much you minimized distribution costs by
"Investigated new startups" sounds silly... be specific, maybe something along the lines of "Performed due-diligence of potential acquisitions/investments by analyzing financials, etc"
"Contacted inspiring entrepreneurs" sounds dumb. At first, I thought you meant to say "aspiring" but used the wrong word. I'd put "inspirational entrepreneurs" if that's what you mean.
You say "Basic skills in XXX, Basic skills in YYY..." just say "Basic skills in Spanish and Arabic." No need to repeat
Same thing for the "Proficient in..."
Your interests are very vague. Reading what? Horror books? Be specific. Running what? 5-ks? Marathons? Specify.
If you look at the WSO resume template, in the top right corner underneath the line, there is a spot for your phone number. I don't know if you redacted that, but if not, add it so the resume looks symmetrical.
Thanks for your help!
I edited the resume a little (except for the interest part, I think I need to work on that part)..
Is it better now?
