... thats what she said

I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff—I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them.
 

There's a fatal error that will get you dinged because you didn't check your content properly. I'll let you figure out what that is. (hint: it's somewhere in the middle)

No, I'm not trolling.

A few things:

  • Include your minors in the italicized line under your school to save space

  • Fix the spacing between your two schools. This is a huge error, and probably what Bruce Wayne was talking about. If you can't format your resume properly, you will get dinged.

  • For your second school, make the GPAs consistent--pick 1 digit or 2 after the decimal. You can't have it both ways. I am assuming you're rounding the first GPA up, so you're going to have to round the second one down. Consistency is paramount.

I stopped reading closely after your description of your first work experience. You need to work on your writing. There are lots of awkward phrases, but here are two examples that are flat-out incorrect. 1) You "analyzed" 12k scholarships into a database? Do you mean "compiled"? 2) "Non-for-profit" should be "not-for-profit."

I could keep going, but you need to work on this yourself because resume writing can often be a process. You don't learn anything if I do it all for you. Also, as I read on, I noticed the error Bruce Wayne pointed out. He's right -- you'll definitely get dinged for it. Correct the dates on your small tech startup experience.

As stated earlier, you need to spend some more time on this resume. Surely you are capable of better, since a lot of your errors right now stem from poor attention to detail.

 

If this is for on-campus recruitment move your schools to the bottom above skills & activities because everyone knows what school you're at.

Remove useless crap like saying the panel "of experts"... just say bankers, Yale doctorates, etc.

Basically you have too many words on this page for a college student, half of them probably don't mean anything.

 

OP, I think with a good amount of time spent on polishing it up, your resume will look pretty good. The content is good, but the format and wording is not. Spend a lot of time working on bullet point, make them concise and free flowing. All the small things are easy to fix. It's a process, good luck,
