CV for HF. Logical next steps?
I am a student from Germany and found placement in a major graduate program in the US.
My ultimate career goal is to work for a quantitative hedge fund that employs long-short strategies based on solid empirical research (e.g. AQR). I am wondering if it is likely that I can find a position at such a company right out of business school or if I would have to show up some FT experience.
So I attached my CV to this post in order to get advices on two things:
1) Should I cut it down? And if yes, what should I leave out? (e.g. how about the not really relevant internships? In both of them I learnt some relevant things - like Firm Valuation, financial modelling, Buy-Side Due Diligence, ... - but they are not really relevant roles).
2) What do you think are logical next steps? (for SA in 2015 and for FT Analyst position)
I kept my CV like I had it for my grad school application (except inserting the grad school) on purpose so you can break it down and decide what is important and what not. Feel free to be hard on that evaluation. I know it probably is too long.
Note: My undergraduate GPA is originally in German grade system and I translated it via
foreigncredits . com . Is there a better way to do this? German grade is 1.6 out of 5. In a real resume I would state my real GPA and not translate it. Did that just for you, people.

I just got eye-raped, where to begin...
You can start with throwing monkey shit at me for uploading such a "rare" version and then let me know what came to your mind first.
Okay so I'll just bullet point the first few things I'd do first:
Also, try looking for a more eye-friendly resume format... You don't make the best use of space (keep it 1 page) despite your 4.0 GPA.
