Hello, I am currently looking for an internship in private equity and I want to make sure it is structured correctly as I unfortunately do not currently attend a "target school" for financial reasons. I took out some personal information; any negative or positive feedback is welcomed.

Get instant access to lessons taught by experienced private equity pros and bulge bracket investment bankers including financial statement modeling, DCF, M&A, LBO, Comps and Excel Modeling.
Read it quickly and have some formatting and general suggestions.
1) Don't indent your education details - tuck it under your Bachelor's of... 2) Pick whether or not you want to use the oxford comma and stick with just one way. 3) Change "Cofounder" and "June 2012 - Present" positions under "Broadview Road Cleanup." It breaks from your previously established formatting.
General suggestions - Try to quantify more of your experience - Add more about the impacts that your duties had. Try "resulting in X outcome for client" or "an increase in X%"
Since you have some work history, one suggestion would be to put education below work history.
There is a good template I used on the forum. Type "WSO Investment Banking Resume Template for College Students Released to the Public!" in the research field. Hope this helps.
