-Take off the start up experience. In the best case it will be looked at positively as leadership experience, but it will most likely be held against you because it makes you look like you don't know what you want. Tech--in terms of recruitment--is a direct competitor of finance.
-Expand on the modeling you did in the student investment club.
-Capitalize the word "office". If you say that you're strong, expect to be grilled on Excel work.
-Include more interests.
-More of a stylistic thing, but don't repeat words twice under the same experience when it isn't necessary, like you did with the adjective "outstanding".
Put some numbers on the companies you founded/co-founded such as revenue, sales, growth. Even if we're talking very low figure revenue my opinion is that it's still better to supply this information as it makes your experience of running a company much more concrete and "real".
Reading a resume where the candidate has included experience of founding a company named X and doing Y doesn't really tell me anything. For all I know this could be a company which never had any activity of any kind. If you include information showing the company sales grew X % during your time as Lead of Sales that will impress me even if we're only talking $10 000 or even lower sales figures.
Round up your GPA to 3.6
I like that you don't even change the margins so that everything fits on 1 page but expect people to give you helpful advice. Why not go through your resume and at least fix the formatting and put some effort into the resume before asking for the help of people on WSO. Attitudes like yours just annoy me.
The only reason I left it like that is because I just added my recent internship and I plan on making a few edits before finalizing my resume. I am looking looking for help on wording.
Would read better if "Research prospective companies and generated XX leads for sales team[/quote]
You need to format properly. Once you format and take everyone else's recommendations above into consideration, I will help you with the wording.
I'm watching the Heat game so I could've missed a few formatting issues that weren't already mentioned above. As always, I will double-check your formatting once you make the necessary changes. Best of luck.
Thank you IntIbanker. I just updated it.
I have no idea whether you made the exact changes or not since the updated version isn't posted.
Here's the thing; I'm all about helping others, but you need to do your part. There are a ton of simple errors in this resume. You need to review (which includes rewording your bullet points and formatting) your resume at least three times before asking for help is acceptable. I don't want to be douche, but you'll learn more by trying to do as much as you can before asking for help.
Look man I am really sorry but I just realized that I re uploaded the old one. Please take mercy on me... Attached is the updated one.
"Analyzed customers credit history and decided with a team of credit analysts if they were eligible for approval" doesn't sound right.
Maybe something like "Analyzed customer credit history and collaborated with a team of credit analysts to determine lease eligibility"
Also, there has to be some way you can spin some finance experience out of starting your own company. Something simple like projecting revenue or determining price points would make a nice addition and give you some way to spin that in an interview
I think what I am going to do is talk to my boss and see if I can make some sort of financial model for him. Any recommendations about how to go about this. Should I make a DCF?
But what would you model? I don't really see how it would tie in with the rest of your current internship responsibilities, and I doubt your boss would let you do unrelated work for the sake of a resume bullet point. If you want to get some modeling on your resume pickup a self-study modeling course, and you can list it on your resume when you've completed it.
Like comment below said, a DCF wouldn't really fit in with your line of work; however, if you're just looking at credit history and ballparking the lessor's credit risk - which it sounds like you are - you could look into building a credit risk model to quantify each lessor's risk of default or something along those lines.
As for your start-up, you had to at some point calculate how much money you were going to be making. Just say something like "Estimated growth rate and factored in economic climate to project revenue over a 12-month period"
And then once i get some modeling experience i can fib a little bit and say i did some modeling for my company to predict revenues or growth or something. To be honest they werent really that successful but i learned alot about entrepreneurship and partnership. I basically stopped because i had to focus on pulling my grades up from a 2.8 first semester.
Here's a quick run through:
If the work experience is ongoing, it should be in present tense, not past tense.

- Do you know how many new leads you generated? If yes, put a number in the bullet point - Change the second bullet point to the following: "Analyze customers' credit history to determine their loan eligibility" - Change "marketing requests" to whatever you actually create for vendors - Delete the last bullet. That pretty much says that you're good at paperwork.
- Change the first bullet to something like "Assist underprivileged kids/individuals computer things". Your current bullet point is too wordy. - "Service" should be plural - Change "education" to "tutorials" and delete everything after "tutorials" - Change the third bullet to how many customers you have assisted since inception
- Simplify your first bullet and delete anything after valets. - Change the second bullet to "Managed all cash transactions, including employee wages" - "Communicated directly with high net worth individuals to ensure all requests were fulfilled"
- I'm assuming you focus on a specific sector. If so, your first bullet should talk about what you do and what sector you focus in - Make your current bullet point a sub-bullet and change the first part to "Assisted in evaluating Spirit..."
- Change the title to Additional Information - Make sub-bullets for tech skills, activities, and interests. At the moment, no one can tell which is which. Take out comedy. Who doesn't like to laugh? Also, some douche is going to ask you if you have a funny joke. You need to have at least two (work appropriate and one that is completely and utterly inappropriate for work such as racist and or sexist joke) if you want to keep comedy in there.
Key thing to keep in mind is to be as succinct as possible. You don't need to elaborate on things because it's the interviewer's job to ask follow-up questions and it's your job as the interviewee to elaborate on things to make yourself sound legit. Just think about all the verbs you want to use such as assisted, coordinated, analyzed, identified, executed, etc. I'm getting swamped at work so we can do a second or third run through some time this weekend. I expect your updates to be solid.
Thank you IntIbanker...I just updated my resume
