Rip my resume apart

Hey there,

Just as the title says, please rip my resume apart. Any comments/suggestions/edits will be greatly appreciated as I am trying to break into IB. Don't hold back....

If you graduated I would move your education below work experience. Credit analyst - the bullets don't have very much weight & there are grammatical errors Summer Analyst -slightly better content but overall kind of confusing and vanilla Frat -run on rambling sentences -raised half a mill? really? (as an interviewer I would question if that was a stretch) Related coursework -I would list this in education & not list this much. It's assumed if you graduated you took a math, econ class.... etc.

Overall, the first thing I notice is GPA is 3.6 not bad, not stellar. But then I see Frat as leadership, marketing club, trade club, wall street club. I'm assuming (bad to assume but if I have to look through 50-100 resumes I have to make quick assumptions) you were a frat bro in college. Then I see if you are already looking for a new position after 6ish mo on the job I'm questioning your dedication etc.

I would develop your bullet points to craft valuable rich content. I recommend using the WSO resume template. Think of anything to talk about outside of college clubs: such as sports, volunteer work, coach your nephew's soccer team etc.

If you are serious about making a job move, look into the WSO resume review service, it is really worth the investment. https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/best-resume-review-service-finance-pros…

 

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I appreciate the fact that you made assumptions on my resume because that is obviously what the person screening my resume would do.

Also, you mentioned the WSO resume review service. Is it really worth $200?? Just seems like it's a lot for someone to review/edit my resume.
