All Finance Resume Too Boring?

Guys, just wanted to hear your thoughts about not having something "interesting" on your resume for junior recruiting (at a target).

For example, mine is:

boutique IB
wealth management
investment management
leader of student investment fund

Could it hurt not to have any strong experiences outside the finance realm and come off too strong as a finance gunner?

Thanks for sharing your opinions.
