Aspiring analyst asks audience for assistance - F500 financial analyst position

Please shred it. What is complete crap, what is fluff and can be trimmed, what is good and can be beefed up--be brutal. http://www.razume.com/documents/29913

Synopsis: I work as an investment analyst at a local/regional PWM firm, and I am applying for a F500 corporate financial analyst position.

Thanks in advance.

I actually like your resume, and if you're living in the NC/ VA area still, I'd say that CFA L III Candidate + Chapel Hill alone should get you in the door. I think you should delineate better that you got promoted / shifted to an investment analyst. The first job is a wall of text, and I think it would convey your message better with the format of :

PWM Date Investment Analyst

PWM Date Financial Advisor

If you know what I'm saying. I've seen that in a lot of resumes to indicate promotions, and I think it's the clearest way to show it. Any tips on beating the CFA L II btw?
