destroy this resume!!!
I appreciate all criticism and suggestions! I am currently at a non target majoring in both finance and accounting. I will also graduate next April. Right now till graduation, I have a internship at a long only investment manager with roughly 1 billion aum, doing equity research and corresponding grunt work. I hope to continue doing equity research/portfolio management after graduation but I am also interested in REPE and Restructuring type positions.
I feel I should add/ remove some experience bullets, I think I'll remember more projects that I worked on. Also, should I remove CFA lvl 1 candidate? I will be taking the exam this December or next June depending a situaiton or two. Finally, I got accepted into the student managed investment fund, can I add this to my resume or wait until September?
Here it is!
Better than mine.
Dude, this resume fucking kills. On your bullets, though, concentrate on 'impact' i.e. 'analyzed cash flows for company XXX that was being acquired, blah blah..as a result saving $xxx.' you get the idea
Quantify, quantify, quantify. How many companies? How big were they? Same for the loans. When it comes to impact, by how much was operating leverage improved?
Two items that are not mentioned - Standardized test scores (e.g. are you smart?) - Leadership positions in extracurriculars that are not work related (e.g. are you well rounded?)
toss the relevant coursework and yeah wheres your leadership?
Are you guys all building your resumes on razume.com using their builder tool?
Because 90% of the posts in this forum have resumes with identical formatting... Not sure if there's a 'standard' Wall Street resume format that I'm missing?
At first glance it's a great fucking resume (a lot better than mine) simple to the point.
second glance..its too simple and too much white space. since this is for entry level you need to include ECs
Maybe take your activities and make a section on leadership, what positions you held, what did you contribute? I think you should add student fund on your resume (along with dates)
Try to remove some bullet points under your work exp (what maktec5 said) too and add ECs to make you look more like a well rounded person.
Interests: Turnaround management, Distressed investing Are you serious?? Even if you enjoy those things, don't put that on under your interests...
Thanks everyone for the suggestions, they have really helped.
What I did:
Is the font size for your relevant coursework section smaller than the rest of the resume?
Yep, I guess it is. Should I nuke relevant course work? I have been getting people who have told me to keep it and some who are telling me to get rid of it.
Toss it.
consistent formatting is important.
