Resume feedback

Hi guys,

So I need some feedback. I am a recent graduate and I am a little late in the job search process, i know, but it is what it is :/. I'm interested in getting into strategy consulting and I do have some great direct connections in the industry but before reaching out, I would love additional reviews on my resume.

I uploaded on razume which additionally holds a copy of my example cover letter. If possible, feedback on the cover letter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

im not going to dig into this too deeply because i am only taking a quick break here at work... but...

second bullet under senior seminar... totally mitigates your first point, it reads like this: I built a cool model to do some cool shit in Brazil, but it doesnt really work. take out the second point.

i would remove the academic project heading, and just make the seminar a third point under Education

first point under fidelity "analyzed" with a Z, we arent in the UK....

second point under fidel... "provided data analysis and PREPARED financial reports..." weird tense stuff going on there.

"CATALOUGED" again, we are in america. spell it the american way.

last fidelity point, put a comma in 6,000

why not make a section for your retail job? just a few points needed, but the italicized paragraph is just weird and totally different format from the other shit on your resume.

 

second all those points above from iRX...but i'd just kill that italicized section on retail...

also bullets under your academic project section needs to be realigned - spacing is inconsistent with other bullets

 

and the second lines of your bullets need to be realigned as well...

Thanks iRX and backtofront for the feedback. I removed the academic project section, made a section for my retail job experience and changed some words around.

 

Umm surprised nobody has already said that your one job basically takes up the whole resume...

You've only been working there 6 months it looks like? Shorten it a little and put in some other experiences you've had that will round you out...personally I think you've wasted space with the technical proficiency section too...that could really all be one line if you needed the space
