A resume review would be greatly appreciated

I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some feedback regarding my resume. I understand that my qualifications are far below that of most on this board but I am trying to transition into a traditional finance role as opposed to FA. Thank you very much.

put your northwestern bullets in the present tense as you still work there (except for the ones that need to be past tense ie generated/named)..also not sure that fact finding and person business needs should be capitalized

spell out "four" , "one", "two"

dont really see other mistakes but as you know it is going to be extremely difficult for you to make a transition in this mkt with your education/experience.

there are tons of people out there with ivy league diplomas/years experience at BBs who cant find jobs right now

good luck

 

GMAT was 570, to be quite honest B-school was a last minute decision due to personal reasons and I was forced to take the test with 0 preparation. I was fortunate to have networked myself into the school. Am I correct in assuming it should be left off?

For some reason that name didn't show on the new alumni search. Would you have any tips for alumni outreach, especially someone of his stature?

Thank you!
