Roast my resume- Very non-target IB
Roast my resume-- I am just starting my senior year. I am at a very non-target school. No banks recruit, and no banks within 300 miles(think Wyoming, Montana). Applying to banks has been tough. I have networked a ton but have barely got 1 interviews set up. No alumni to talk with in the industry. I got a back office job for JPM in delaware, but I could not get any leads. My real problem is knowing people that can pass along my resume. Any thoughts? (I have taken out cities and names of companies besides JPM)

Would be more helpful if you uploaded your resume as a pdf. Formatting matters more than you think, and can get you dinged even if everything else is perfect.
I wouldn't be listing the HOLT Valuation challenge under 'Education' - bit of a stretch.
Agree with the above, formatting can be the deciding factor between having your resume looked out or thrown in the 'no' pile. Remove personal details and upload a PDF.
