3rd review - must be perfect now right?

Looking for a part time job while completing my 4th year of undergrad. Main goal is to get something in the finance industry just to gain exposure/make some contacts. Have been communicating with a firm regarding a part time trade settlements/support position. What should I change?

Thanks in advance.

Overall it is a solid resume, but there are some changes that can be made. Taking a quick look:

  1. Format is on point - just a few things - mixing dates (abbreviations vs full), small font size for name, etc - but otherwise good - http://www.bankonbanking.com/resume-revisions/

  2. Did you mean to not include a GPA - without a GPA listed I assume best case scenario your GPA is a 3.0 (or maybe less)

  3. Take out Macro and Micro and if you need to Bus in a global context to hit it on 1 line - as macro and micro are intro courses

  4. Many of your bullet points are in good shape, but some still need work. Remember, without analytical work, you need to show your impact even more - don't just say increase efficiency, improve productivity, supported team, etc - try to quantify results and show an impact if possible - show connection to actual projects where possible as well

  5. You don't need fluent in English

  6. Be specific with your interests or just remove them - current affairs can be removed, and volunteer organizations - be specific, which groups, what role

PM me if you have other questions.

 

Very solid experience for a Dalhouse Commerce. Consider me inpressed.

Mention your GPA. It's an issue and as said above if it's over 3.0 list it, or whoever's reading it will think otherwise.

Not too much else I can contribute to it but good luck,
