Rising Junior IB Resume - Semi target looking for an IB SA position

Hey guys, I'm a rising junior at a semi target (you can figure it out) looking for an IB SA position next summer. I'm considering trying to get a PWM, ER, or boutique IB internship this fall at school. How necessary is a fall internship towards getting an SA spot for me? FYI the AM position this summer was at a top BB's regional branch.

I would have posted this topic in the resume forum but the resume forum still isn't loading for me. Thanks a lot.

I hope no yankee fans review your resume...

But in all seriousness I'd say this:

-National AP scholar is probably irelevant since I'm guessing its a HS award. Could be wrong though.

-change relevant to "selected" coursework and take out everything except what is directly relevant (accounting, investmen banking) and anything quantitative (the calc class, int. micro maybe?). Everyone knows you took econ 101 as an econ major and if you are fluent in spanish there is no point in saying you took that spanish class (maybe leave it on if you're applying specifically for a LatAm group).

-if you co-founded that business why do you work "under" the founder?

-you can also shorten some of up your descriptions. They don't have to read like complete sentences.

Overall though it looks good. A fall position would do nothing but help you, but I'd expect you to be competitive for interviews as is. Just a SA now though, so a FT analyst may be able to give better insight.

 

-Do you really have four minors? Regardless, you should get rid of the bullet point and list them as you do your major (italics, no bold). You can list all five of your programs vertically, or you can save space by putting:

Bachelor of Arts in Economics Minors in Financial Economics, Corporate Strategy, Spanish, and Portuguese

-If you decide not to listen to panther's advice, you should at least shorten the descriptions of some of your courses: No need to put "Intro" on your macroeconomics class. no need to list Intro to Microeconomics if you already listed Intermediate. No need to put "Survey of" in front of "Entrepreneurship." Etc.

-Don't list MS Office.

-Don't list SAT II scores and don't list AP Scholar achievements. They're both impressive achievements, but the only high school achievement that sticks with you during college is your SAT I.

-For the dates in your professional section, change the bottom two start dates to specific months. Otherwise, change all the other moths listed to seasons. Gotta keep those parallel structures yo.
