Rip Apart My Resume - Junior Looking to Enter Finance (PE, AM, IB, etc.; I left out the skills section) - Thank you!

bumpp

Need extra curricular

think you should highly simply the description of your tasks, I am too lazy to read all of it so I guess a recruiter would be too

Agree with the above but to add some support for your cumulative GPA, include your major GPA as well (if its better than your cumulative since this shows you understand what you're studying)

need to break this down into more sections and make things much more readable. look at the harvard resume guide (genuinely just google that), and go from there.extracurriculares at school are great, could add things like relevant courses if you're having a hard time filling the page. even 10wk internships shouldn’t have >4 bullet points (5 if ur desperate)consider adding in a bottom section about ur likes and skills. good luck!

Looks decent, here are some comments:

• Agree with above comments for bullet points. 3 looks the best

• Do not bold description bullet point line itemsIt looks lopsided with bolded items on the left and right not on the same line.

• Change it so that the location is bolded same with your place of work

• Remove "Expected" in the top right for educationDo not underline your role. Simply italicize it. Italicize the dates on the right as well.

-Change "Work Experience" to just "Experience"I recommend adding a "Misc" section at the bottom to list your extracurriculars, interests, IB programs completed, etcI'm on my phone so its tough to see but double check that the items on the right side of the resume are the same font/font size. They look slightly different

Overall: Good start but needs more work. It also needs to scream "investment banking" more. To be direct, most bankers want competent finance people - so focus on PPT, Excel, modeling, accounting, generating reports, etc. which is also important because you go to a semi-target

“Reducing financial reporting errors by 2%…”

Validating shit to enhance financial reporting accuracy by 7%…

25+ hours saved annually etc.

How are you measuring these numbers? They feel artificial, correct me if I’m wrong but that’s the impression it’s giving.

Don’t make things up and don’t throw “buzzwords” like “according to US gaap and Sarbanes-oxley act” when it just means you followed the standard. People see through it and it invalidates the rest of your resume. Keep it genuine while demonstrating real impact.

It’s good that you understand the need to show impact, it’s clear that you’ve been coached here. Just be mindful of going overboard with it.
