Take that ridiculous shit on top out.
You mean remove AWARD WINNING FINANCE PROFESSIONAL? or what is right below it?
Should I take this out: "A highly experienced and results-oriented Finance and Accounting professional with Law Degree, Finance Degree, and strong analytical, quantitative and communication skills. Proven success collaborating with senior management in administering projects involving over $1 Billion in assets?"
AWARD WINNING FINANCE AND ACCOUNTING PROFESSIONAL = OMG I would prefer not to see Microsoft (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook), since it's a prerequisite. Worked closely with senior partner to complete $200 million bond transaction. = boring, be more specific ... couldn't read more.
Thanks for the comments. Any more advice?
Is Howard University named after Dwight Howard?
They see me trollin', they hatin'...
lol No of course not.
Yeah lose the top, your education / experience speaks for itself.
Also most people will tell you not to list any MS program stuff unless maybe you have an Excel certificate or something.
