Urgent Job Search-Need Help

Please help this non target- CUNY with 3.4 GPA, double major BBA Finance, BA Econ. ( Honors) with an Honors minor, to get an entry level job or internship in the investment banking/finance sector. I have listened to prior advices on this board and have started networking but to no avail. My experience does not include any banking in the past 3 years as I was busy handling my father's partnership of a local ethnic newspaper.Now that his business is stable, I want to officialy make my mark but so far have only received rejections, even for internships. I am willing to start anywhere as it has been a while since I graduated (2009) and would appreciate any advice/help. Check out the updated resume at

No offense, but this is one of the worst resumes I've ever seen. The key to even getting noticed is to have a good resume. Change your template entirely. The Mergers and Inquisitions one is good that is linked above.

Next, add more description to your job. The responsibilities at face look incredibly bland and vanilla. Talk about specific things you did to show you have worthwhile skills. Also, you need to add more quantity to your resume. A lot of this just looks like filler material (career objective, not filling up the whole page).

If I were you, I'd rip this thing up and start from scratch. Sit down with someone professional or a contact you make to get this done because this is a classic ding resume before the recruiter even looks at what the resume says.
