"The attention I received from Wall Street Oasis was second to none. My existing resume was taken as a rough starting point before I was quizzed on my background and relevant experience and discovered that I had left important achievements out without even giving them a second thought. Within days, my resume had been reworked and "bankified" to render it more relevant to the investment banking summer recruiting process. Interviewers unfailingly complemented me on my resume, and I eventually landed a bulge-bracket internship in the group that I had always wanted to work in. My heartfelt thanks to WSO!" - C.A.

alexdisuja25I think, in resume we can give all our bio data and educational qualification...! So we have to concentrate on our resume.

Resume is to show your qualification, your work experience and your other activities to the recruiter. So try to put all positive things about your self.

 

Yes but everyone is showing their "good side" on their resumes. You have to differentiate yourself by thinking from the recruiter persoective and showing measurable impact in projects; through collaboration, initiative , data etc. Also, it's important to align yourself to the various tools in the market, giving the confidence that you will be a value addition. Moreover, with all the technology being used in the hiring process, it's important to ensure that your resume is able to pass the automated checks. There's a lot that goes into this 1-2 page document and I'm happy to have a detailed chat around it :)

A quick note on the Resume Review FAQ. In the "My GPA is low..." question, the answer mentions a 500% increase. Going from 1% to 5% is a 400% increase. Otherwise, keeping the 500% it should say "that is 500% what you would originally have". I'm sure this would have been mentioned somewhere, but it stuck out to me while reading the page.
