How to phrase on resume?

I go to a complete nontarget and a job listing popped up for SA at Citi. On my resume, my current position is an internship at a fund of fund / money management but I quit literally last week to start a position at a boutique IB. I just started today. What should I put on my resume and with the boutique what bullets do I put under it since I really havent done anything yet? I need to do this asap because deadline is 6 days away

You really need to provide more information here before we can give you the best response.

First, how long were you at the FoF internship? I know that you just left, but how long were you there and on what terms did you leave? If you've only been there for a few weeks or less, you can probably leave it off. If you left on poor terms and won't expect a good rec - perhaps they feel you left them high an dry since you committed to stay until XXX and left early, then you should leave it off your resume as well (this is assuming you weren't there for like 3-4+ months). If, however, you were there for at least 2+ months and there were no hard feelings when you left, you could probably put it down on your resume with bullet points encompassing whatever it is that you did while there. You don't need to mention leaving or leaving early for another gig, etc - your reason for leaving doesn't need to be on your resume - only your experiences and responsibilities.

Next, regarding your new internship, you will want to put the basics down - in other words, firm name, date you started, position and location - essentially, the title stuff. Regarding specific bullet points, you should not put down what you expect to do, you should only put down what you've done. Wait as long as possible to submit for the SA at Citi - until deadline, and by then, ideally, you've done at least a few things of interest that you can put on your resume - even if embellished a bit. It's one thing to add a bit of flavor to your resume, it's another thing to put down tasks that you haven't performed and may not perform - you don't want to be with that during an interview. If I were you, I would hold off until the deadline and then fill in with a few bullet points on what you've already done and really try to sell it. If you throw too much on there, it will be obvious that something is a bit off since you've only been there a week. If you get to the interview, you can absolutely update them on what you've done which will only make selling your candidacy easier.

Good luck.
