Hello,
I am currently worried about having to face yet another summer washing dishes with methheads. I am graduating in a three year program, and as such, I only have one summer left before my senior year. Can you take a look at my resume and recommend a plan of action, including spring internships or otherwise, so that I can ideally do a summer internship in the scope of managerial consulting or M&A.
Thanks in advance for throwing me a banana.

Personally, I don't think listing dishwasher helps your cause. My friend took an unpaid internship one summer at a boutique shop just so he doesn't put jobs like that on. To champion your cause I would take the dishwasher part of. Where do you want to work?
shit is awful. the format is horrendous. use the M&I format. google it. take dishwasher off. add more bullets under your relevant expreience. put most recent experience from top to bottom, you have it opposite that. why is everything left aligned? so much white space and its unbalanced. holy fuck man. i would literally just throw this away and start fresh. have you ever used MS word before? doesnt look like it. seriously, google the m&i format.
Just my opinion, but here are some of the major changes I would make:
Either take off high school education completely or at the very least put it after your college education. Limit relevant coursework to 2 lines, it's taking up way too much space.
Put experience in chronological order. Expand on the economic consulting firm and business. Quantify things whenever possible. Take off dishwasher as well as everything under skills except minitab and stata (make sure it's spelled right as well). Also, you're probably better served using M&I format.
I pretty much agree with using the M&I format as well as listing by chronological order from most recent. Scrap dishwasher and add a new labeled section that outlines any volunteer/leadership position you had in an on-campus club or with a non-profit. The 'skills' section really needs to be beefed up. My advice is to list anything pertinent you learned in your finance and marketing courses such as valuation, risk, modeling, budgeting, forecasting, etc. Keep in mind that you shouldn't just plug anything in and not be expected to be quizzed on them. Be absolutely sure you know all this crap. And last piece of advice: Get as many people to look at your resume; your relatives, friends, profs, career center adviser, etc. Good luck!
Thank you all for your help, I edited the original topic with my updated resume, please let me know what you think. Thanks!
Looks a lot better. Again, any changes Suggested below are simply what I would do and not necessarily the only/correct way. Also, if you haven't already, have a few professors and alums look at it.
Still a few minor formatting issues (although you've probably caught many of these by now). Bullet points shouldn't have any sort of punctuation at the end. Get rid of the selected experience line, put first indent level of bullets in line with the rest.
Random Thoughts:
35 on the act is seriously impressive, I personally wouldn't bother adding the SAT score as well unless it's above 2350+
Take off fluent in English Maybe add a sentence explaining what word of mouth is. Your interests also seem poorly worded.
I don't know if this is appropriate to list in your case, but I'd be interested in knowing more about the size of the hedge fund and the business (If you do add this type of info, I wouldn't post it online, only include it in actual resumes sent out to firms).
Relevant info in my mind would be an approximation of the fund you personally generated, size of the fund, revenue of the hat company, ...
