First of all, thank you for your time and thoroughness. I really appreciate it!
- I get not liking the template, I’ve tried to strike a balance between the basic resume vs. standing out a bit (with lots of people trying to sway me both ways). I tried to compromise by going with a sans serif for computer legibility and a little color to pop but idk, honestly I just care what gets me the most looks by employers.
One thing about the template though- having no internships or particularly relevant experience and having gone through so much trouble to get them, putting the certificates all the way at the bottom kills me. In my eyes, that stuff is especially important to an experience-weak resume like mine and I’m scared they’ll have checked out by the time they get that low. Thoughts?
- Noted, I agree. If I were to stick to this format I’d need to fix that up
- Yeah just added that in and figured it looked silly, will do
-So the MSF and BSRE are separate degrees but I obtain them through a combined pathway. I had no idea degrees should be separated by lines, but it makes sense for sure. Should they have expected dates for both? (they differ)
- My parents have been hounding me to add interest but I guess naively in my eyes it just seemed a waste of space? With the degree of content culling most people do to take advantage of every inch of the paper I thought it a bit silly, but I see the angle. But look if it gets me more interviews then sure!
No prob man, happy to help.
Completely disagree on certificates in this instance. Showing you've gone through both RE modeling and Argus certification is a huge plus when you' don't have significant previous experience. I've mentioned this in previous threads but we've been interviewing for an analyst and I would greatly appreciate seeing this certificates as we've interviewed many candidates that haven't shown any initiative to learn CRE modeling and Argus ahead of time
My eyes!
Got it!
1. Remove all of the blue
2. Remove the LinkedIn hyperlink
3. Split your Masters and Bachelors sections, unless it is specifically some sort of joint degree that you get all at the same time. You should have BS in Real Estate and what you did in college and then above it the MSF and what you did in grad school. That makes up the blank space you'd get from deleting...
3. ...The additional skills section, which looks like padding to me. All of those are really one bullet point and it is assumed that if you have a Financial Modeling certification and ARGUS Certification, which you list, that you know how to do those things anyhow.
Thank you so much for your time and help!
Who is "everyone" that keeps saying you won't stand out enough? Do they have jobs in CRE or finance? You should be standing out by the content of your resume, not by the font color.
Also, are you starting to apply to internships and that is why you asked for a resume review? Are there any class case studies that you worked on that you could speak about in your resume? Your GPA is great, but from your resume, it seems like you just recently decided to pursue real estate, which is completely fine, but you might be competing against others that have completed CRE internships. You list modeling skills in your additional skills, but have no actual real estate experience, which leads me to believe those modeling skills you have are BS.
Did you really financially model your operations for the pressure washing business or is that BS? Honestly, that bullet point would reek of BS to me if I was looking at this resume. Also, the employees bit seems interesting...$30k in profit over two years but you needed to hire employees? Seems like a part-time, one-man operation to me.
You state you are associated with NAIOP, CCIM, and ULI, but only as of October 2023. Do you have legit involvement and ties to those orgs or did you just set up a membership online with them to list on your resume?
You said destroy so being a little critical here but these are things that stand out to me (also some others that were mentioned previously).

Resume DESTROYED bitch
Kneecaps💀😂
Need in additional info: Obtained # of STDs. I miss tally
Instead of "Additional Skills" put "Additional Information" and add things like your interests. It's always helpful to have these here, as interviews can move onto personal items and you can form connections pretty quick with someone with similar interests
