Canadian Economics student..still looking for internship/summer job

I am kinds stuck looking for an internship so I thought I would get my resume critiqued by fellow WSO'rs so that I can improve my chances of at least getting a job. I live in the the nations capital..and I am wondering what I can do to help myself..I completely missed recruiting season this year..partially because I was on exchange all year in England ..the rest completely my fault. Next year I will be in my sophomore year at Queens studying Applied Economics. I have made some posts about that situation and from the reply's it looks that I should be ok come next fall. Is there anything else I can try to get an internship? maybe call up some of the boutique banks/financial services/ consultancy firms in ottawa? Also I am an INROADS member but since I applied after I got back from school in April they haven't placed me anywhere...anyway here is my resume for dissection.

thanks in advance,

Does INROADS place in investment banking? Banks in Canada/United States.

Criticisms: - quantify your work with numbers - also, what did your work lead to? yes, you helped package clothing, what did that lead to?

etc

The difference between successful people and others is largely a habit - a controlled habit of doing every task better, faster and more efficiently.

There is not a lot of diversity on Bay Street, you know that, right?

OP delete your post ASAP. your name is right at the top of your resume.

Here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, you are the sucker.
 

I delete the post and blacked it out lol the first time was a test so see if the website was legit. I am perfectly fine with my name being posted on it. I blacked out the general information on my resume now so it should be ok.

Keep it together and you will go far..
