1. The extra layer of bullet points is highly unnecessary and takes up too much space. No need for a firm description, they can tell by your title/responsibilities. 

2. Move your title to the same line as the company name. Being concise and maximizing use of space is key. 

3. Add relevant coursework and awards/honors under your GPA

4. Delete that second blank page. 

 

This resume looks really empty because you don't fill out the full line when writing out a bullet point. You should make it a habit to extend the words to as close to the right side of the page as you can. 

 

your bullets don't have any meat. modelling has one "L", not two i think..."conducted revenue modeling to model profit & loss projections"...way too generic, try to spice it up a bit..."built dynamic revenue model with X, Y, Z sensitivity levers to model P&L projections across wide range of business scenarios"..."Drafted pitch/teaser deck with and for company"..."Worked with VC principals and company executives to draft pitch deck by developing investment thesis and equity story, use of proceeds, etc."

Since you’re recruiting in US, use modeling (1 L)

In UK you would use 2Ls
