Hey folks
So here's my general and relatively crappy resume. I'm looking for IBD jobs ... graduating in September, starting hopefully soon thereafter.
Please give me any advice you can! What should I keep, what should I remove, what should I add, etc ...
Thanks!

Wow...let me try and at least address some:
Get rid of the "Mathematics" section. Having taken Calc and Stat is largely a requirement for most business schools. It doesn't separate you from anyone and really just makes it look like you're stretching for SOMETHING to put on there...
Your coursework takes up WAY too much space on the resume. It's practically 2/3 of your entire resume...I haven't seen a good resume that had more than 1-2 lines devoted to coursework. In my opinion, 0-1 are acceptable. I usually only like to see it if the person is NOT a business/finance major, just so I know that person has taken the effort to take those classes despite being an art history major or something.
Get rid of the objective.
Why is the university you studied abroad at listed before your own university? Chronologically, it would imply you're studying abroad in your last semester at school. Even if you are, switch the order. Maybe list 1-2 things you did while abroad (clubs, activities, etc).
Get the resume on 1 page (not sure if it's a formatting thing, but just make sure).
Move your languages to the bottom...put it in or next to the skills section. I would get rid of French. It's implying you can simply read it but you're not even at the conversational level. Again, does nothing.
Lastly...get some relevant internship experience. Good luck man...post revisions and I'll take another look.

this is brutal
One page, cut the community college, " , USA" after university name should be flush with right side of document, Languages should be listed at end, only list languages you are fluent in, go to mergers and inquisitions use their format
Where's work experience?
Note: some of the comments say there's two pages, and that may be where your work experience is listed, but I'm not going to go back and look. I don't have time.
Now if I don't have time, do you think Analyst XYZ at GS TMT is going to have time to look? Autoding.
There's too much wrong with this to offer specific help. Follow a format and try again.
