Agree w/ your instinct that "exposed" is a really vague/fluffy verb. How exactly did you come into contact with those valuation methodologies? Did you prepare analyses using them? Clarify.

  • not as vital, but some (search google/this forum) would say in resume proper form is not having periods after bullets/entries
  • were you in specific groups in your work experiences? i.e. Finance Intern, Corporate Strategy Division

As an interviewer, if you listed DCF, LBO merger models, precedent transactions on your resume I would expect you to know all of those concepts STONE COLD and thus grill you on it. Unless you have a deep understanding, I would leave them off my friend. Just by simply tossing those words on your resume you wont get brownie points, especially if you don't have a transaction or engagement to apply them to. It might look cool now but it won't when your interviewer is butt fucking you on accretion dilution and your sitting in your chair crying.

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

  • I would take out the Sep 2009 - Present on your education and just put your expected graduation date there instead
  • Even if you weren't in a specific group put an industry/business description after your position title, eg Finance Intern - Long/Short Equity Hedge Fund
  • Take out the relevant coursework section, those are all very basic courses and assumed for a finance major
  • Remove the MS office stuff from your technical skills. As M&I says -- this isn't 1999.

Overall pretty good though.
