Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“Javier was really helpful throughout the entire resume process. I can tell that he used his experiences to help me optimize my resume. The back and forth asynchronous emails were helpful as well; his comments were detailed and told me exactly what and how to fix the issues. On call, not only did we talked through my resume, but he also answered more general recruiting questions for me and gave solid advice. I definitely feel more confident in my resume after this call. I would definitely work with him again!”

I would replace the Wharton online “course” with your secondary school. It looks like you’re trying to hide poor A levels. Also what is the JPM work experience? Is it a spring week or just some online course?

Remove the soft skills. They are argumentative and waste space.
Remove the first bullet from Wharton and strongly consider moving the entire thing to the bottom of your additional information section in a shorter form. Replace Udemy completely.
Did you intern at JPM, is that a spring week, or is that an online program like Forage? If the former you should list it as a "Summer/Winter/Seasonal Analyst internship" or "Spring week title here", if the latter you should remove it from work experience completely.
Some of the activities can probably go under leadership. Depends on your achievements.

Gives you 4-8 new lines of space you can work with.
