Destroy my resume for FT IB recruiting

Hi all,

I'm planning on sending applications soon to a lot of investment banking full time roles. I'm coming from a non-target and I'm currently an intern at a large credit rating agency in NYC (think S&P, Moody's, Fitch). I really want to make sure my resume is perfect before I send it out next week. Please don't hold back.


On a side note, are there any specific groups/cities I should look into? I think my chances of joining GS TMT are slim so I may need some alternatives. I'm aware many of these banks have application limits so I want to choose wisely. My network is also lacking, I may have a few referrals here and there but nothing serious. Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you!

Yeah I totally agree, I'm just not sure what I can say without stretching it too much. At least for my internships. Anything catch your eye that should be improved?

I think I can make some changes to my university experiences to show a little more impact. Is it okay if I can PM you it once I'm done? Appreciate the help.

 

Personally I don’t GAF about volunteer experience if it’s something very regular, would remove to highlight something else. Maybe I’m just a dick

 

Tense consistency and you have some weak opening verbs for some of them (Selected to manage fund… vs. Managed fund of $1.2M, or Team Leader at… vs. Led/Managed a team of 5 at…)
