Resume Critique - Applied to a list of about 200 IBs

Hello all - I've been at the job search now for about 5 weeks since returning from a cross-country charity bike ride to raise money for cancer. Trying to leverage all connections I have and meet/speak with as many people as I can. I applied to the list of about 200 IB's for analyst positions in IB and associate positions in ER plus a whole host of others.

My internship experience is pretty lacking compared to those of you with IB Summer Analyst gigs on your resume, although mine have been pretty diverse and took part in a few cool businesses. I've tried to make up for that through reading, teaching myself some basic financial modeling and enrolling for the CFA Exam which I'm hoping to knock Level I out of the way on my second try here in December.

Anyway, all advice and tips on the resume are welcomed and appreciated as well as any advice for the types of positions I should pursue that are "entry-level" or would put someone with my amount of experience in a good position to break into ER or IB.

goblan - haha your not the first to tell me that although I've heard from a few recruiters that they liked it. In your opinion, is it the way I phrased the quick hitter or is it just not something that looks good on a resume overall?

Thanks for the input

Lose the quick hitter asap

^ this and I would expand points in experience and shorten leadership and other skills
