ER Resume review, v2

Ok, so i've made quite a few changes to my resume based on the good feedback i got in my last post and this is the result.
Please be brutally honest.

In my extracurriculars i've put two ghost writing activities, is this potentially problematic/too risky to put on a resume? Despite not being finance related they do constitute some major research work, so it would suck not being able to them on the resume.

Thanks in advance

I'll be honest here and say that you're going to have to rewrite this thing as it is a major red flag in my book ( I hope this will be a news flash)

Red flags: 1. You have basically no work experience as far as I can tell. Where are the internships??? And also, why in the world is the first bullet 2009??? 2. You are a perma-schooler (I usually expect the number of schools and work experiences to be flipped). In fact, I don't understand why you've been to so many schools and understand even less why they take up so much of the page. 3. Are you actually interested? Why are the only bullet points that talk about stocks under "education". 4. Header makes no sense. No one cares about your dob or nationality or picture. 5. I walk away after 10s with the sense of "he likes to travel but doesn't know anything"

To sum it up: You are literally expressing yourself as someone who cannot work.

 

^ This in entirey. This is a terrible resume and will get you hired on where. It reads as if you like going to more and more school and hate working.

For ER it doesn't just have to be math, modeling or investments club. Do you have any communication achievements in all your schooling? Writing awards or something like that?

Writing is a big skill they look for in ER, since you're light on experience you might need to demonstrate you're a great writer somehow.
