2012 graduate breaking into IBD/ER
Hi all, I am currently a final year student at a target university and am about to complete my equity research internship at a reputable brokerage firm. I hope u guys can give some honest advice on my resume.
The areas I'm interested are IBD and ER. Thanks in advance!
Here is my resume: http://www.razume.com/documents/20961
Edited on 23rd July (Thanks for the help): http://www.razume.com/documents/20966
It would be great if there are more suggestions on my resume
Based just on your most recent internship:
1) It's far too wordy and cluttered. 2) You have 3-4 bullet points per bulleted item. These need to be spaced out. 3) Did you actually publish the note on coal methane solely? That's how it reads and if I were interviewing you I'd take you to task on that. 4) Did you write notes for external consumption? Like was your name on the by-line? Or did you just help feed some ideas to the analyst/associate and they published the notes? 5) The "best broker house" line seems tacky. If it's a good shop people will know it. Unless you want a job in the US (or elsewhere o-Asia) and then maybe.
I would second what NorthEastIdiot said. Also, I don't like how you break up the bullet points with semicolons, I would break those up as was suggested in the post above.
Demonstrate results. Your research led to / discovered what? Also, nice job on the tennis: have fun crashing the WASPY clubs.....
If it's a sell side job, and it appears to be, just publishing something for external consumption is performance as an intern. Presumably, if it were published, someone is paying for it.
I assumed the research was just an opinion/fact piece on coal bed methane and uses by industrial and/or energy firm applications (this stuff comes out all the time on the sell side). That is not all that amazing, in and of itself - the amazing thing is if they let an intern push it out the door, so to speak, on their own.
Yeah there is no way this was an external piece, his name would never even appear on that note. So how would he ever take credit for writing the entire thing or proving he did? My name isn't on any reports yet (still working on my licenses), and despite the fact that I write about 98% of the content I would never take credit for them on the resume.
thanks for the comment.
As for the industry report, I wrote it with the guidance* of the analysts and used the shop name to publish it. It does not contain any buy/sell/hold recommendations. I will change the wording as it sounds misleading.
The external consumption thing is morning notes. I helped them to (1) put their writings together and (2) summarize exchange/market/corporate news.
I use the brokerage house award because they got it like 4 years ago. So i think not many people will know it
Thanks again!
*I wrote it but of course, I'm a newbie so I got advice from them
