resume review-recent college grad trying to get into Wall Street
I've got a resume, I'm a recent graduate, and I want some reviews of it. I've redacted all info which makes me personally identifiable. (redacted link)
I skimmed through your review. The format of your resume is abit unique and not sure if its a good thing. Try to refer to the resume template at the mergers and inquisition website.
These are some things I think you should consider changing: (1) Education at the top. It's an introduction to your resume.
(2) Put relevant courses in a line instead of bullet points, saves space. You could have used that space to elaborate on your leadership roles
(3) For your working experience, state the duration
(4) Rather than listing down all your activities, pick 2-3 to elaborate on and list the rest under hobbies and interest. You are not telling anything by just the name of the club. People want to know your contribution and what you did not how many clubs you've joined. Depth over breadth
My advise is to look at the resume template and rebuild it.
Right on the money. Use that M&I
pick the most important thing and make it the biggest section. cv is ok but needs a wow factor
I might nix the non-fictional reading. I might think that person was a bit boring. Why not list your favorite author or genre? Makes you sound a bit less de rigeur. Just my 2 Pence.
would me replacing "non-fiction literature" with "historical literature" be less de rigeur? History books like Too Big to Fail, many books about the Middle East and the Cold War make up a large portion of what I've read lately.
Take the periods off the ends of the bullets (they aren't complete sentences anyway)
Since when is Wikipedia a skill...
Nothing on the entire resume makes me believe you want to work in a front office role except for classwork. You need to do the best you can to make it wall street friendly when explaining your experience. And please use the M&I template, that one is horrid. You have a "MISC" section and then it only has one thing under it... interests... so why wouldn't you title the section "Interests"...........?!
how should I indicate I minored in both economics and Spanish, if the M/I resume template prompts a listing of a major and doesn't ask for minors?
follow same format as major but just include after it Minors: yada yada
and frankly, how do I follow the template with my Target Mobile experience?
