Zero calls so far

Hello,

Im looking for Business Analyst roles in top consulting firms. I've applied to many top tier and lower tier firms and have heard nothing so far. Not a single call and I'm really disappointed. Im looking for opportunities in the middle east. Whats wrong with my resume?

I don't know if it's different over where you are, but this is a very bad way to structure your resume.

Why are you separating analytical skill and leadership?

What the heck is a language enthusiast? If you speak more than one language, I don't see it anywhere on your resume.

Because when you're in a room full of smart people, smart suddenly doesn't matter—interesting is what matters.
 

,Did you network? Meaning did you talk with people that work in the firm (and they know your full name) or did you have somebody put in your resume for you?

I think it's unlikely to get a call without a contact in the firm. For example, I haven't gotten a call at smaller less prestigious firms; however at Mbb where I had a solid contact, I have interviews.

 

Hi Ricki212, I made some changes.. is it better now? www. razume . com /documents/28098 (please remove the space, I am not able to post the address because of a spam filter error) By language enthusiast, I meant I like learning new languages. Couldn't fit it into the rest of my resume.

 

Thank you. Looks like I've to put in a lot of work on this. But just a doubt its the formatting that's an issue here and not the grades/college/work experience right?
