Absolutely Demolish my Resume (for IBD SA)

Hey all,

Long time lurker here. With junior year and SA recruiting coming up I would greatly appreciate any and all advice on my resume. Go nuts. If it matters, I am mostly going after IBD.

Also, what do ya'll specifically think about the Video Game Business entry? I have seen a few discussions about people with the mention of video games on their resume being immediately written off as weird or at least socially unaware, which makes me wonder if I should keep the business on my resume.

Thanks a lot!

Are you on the Dean's list? You've got a 3.5 so I'm assuming its good enough. If you do put that down. Dump the bullet points under SA&I. Use commas and one line. Any volunteer/club leadership experience you can talk about? Employers like to see that you "work" while studying. Dump the 5000+ views. Makes you sound douchey. Also agree with above. Too much white space and drop the 4.0, 2400, 800...

 

Thanks for the input guys. I'll try to fill up that bottom space. In regards to the views, I want to quanitfy my performance in some way so maybe I'll try to find a more subtle way to stick that number in.

Any opinions on the video game business?
