Hey everyone,
Just wanted to get a feel for what the concensus is on my resume from a finance community. Everyone I ask says it looks great, however I've applied for approx 200 full time jobs (not exagerated) and haven't gotten any feedback.
Thanks for any help.
PS> Razume was being a bitch, so I just edited my resume appropriately.Think I got all of the relevant personal info.

Maybe you're applying mainly to the primary industries?
I'm sorry, but what do you mean?
Not sure if these are formatting issues on my side only, but here are a few things:
Take Photoshop out of your Technical Skills line so everything fits on one line
I'd suggest capitalizing the "s" in Soccer on your interests line
Reduce the relevant coursework line to something an analyst would actually take the time to read (it's just a laundry list right now)
Make the font size bigger than 10.5, especially considering that you have a fair amount of space left at the top and bottom
Overall, I'd recommend copying the M&I resume style so that everything just looks cleaner.
I have been using the M&I style (looks a little sloppy right now because of the way I had to manually edit it). And I will take some of the course work out. I just thought some of them (calc I and II) would be worth keeping as they present the fact that I haven't taken some more quantitatively geared classes.
good news is you have a lot of content to worth with - bad news is i can't tell what you did within the first second of reading.
write IB summer analyst, or credit research summer analyst or wtv try to pick a deal to talk about add numbers and catch phrases technical skills is always a useless line but if you insist on leaving it move factset to the front keep interests section shorter and get rid of generic ones bullets need to start with stronger verbs (modeled, analyzed, researched, calculated, vs helped, assisted wtv.
Thanks, that is actually something I was kind of worried about (the ambiguity of my work responsibilities). Is there anything else in the verbiage of my tasks which seems mis worded or incorrect?
Also, in regards to the title, I have a bit of a dilemma choosing what the "official" title should be. I mainly worked with credit analyst desk, however due to the relaxed style of the program, also worked with the IB guys upstairs and over the phone in Houston to help with different pitches. How do you think I should label the position?
How about just use your credit desk as the main focal point? Mainly because your first point is about working with credit analysts and performing credit analysis.
Thanks. That is what I was thinking. I was just using the broader term "summer analyst" so that it could have more merit when applying to IB positions.
