Experienced Resume Help! (3.5+ years)

Ok guys... here's a fun one for all you Senior/Experienced monkeys - a non-undergrad - working monkey.... GO TO TOWN - DO NOT HOLD BACK

Looking for some guidance on my resume. It's been over 3.5 years at firm (Big 4 Advisory) - looking to rebuild my resume ASAP. I feel I need more power bullets (did abc to increase blah blah blah by 40%). I want it to read as more quant/modeling intensive and transaction based. PLEASE HELP

Below are a list of items that are not transparent on my resume that should probably get on there; however, I'm not sure how to get it on there and what to remove + wording

bullet point 1 and 6 on structured finance job experience seems redundant - HELP

Key Points (TOP PERFORMER within Group)

-constantly rebuilding legacy models for our group and automating internal functions to reduce time spent on less-chargeable client work i.e. workpapers.

-was considered for early promotion 2 years prior to eligability; however, with the market collapsing and that our groups main service was built upon new issuance of securitized product....... clearly the promotion was halted immediately and our group had massive layoffs - where I survived and have now been promoted as we have re-established ourselves in the market with new service offerings within both the government/private sector

1) Perform collateral due diligence, pricing and fixed income analytics on various structured finance products during new issuance or annuity payment date procedures 2) validate pricing, credit protection payments and bond write downs for Credit Default Swaps 3) Worked on over 6 new issuances for CDOs, CLOs and Credit Opportunities Funds - all private 4) Started my commercial brokerage winter of Junior year - up until end of 2006. Generate strong revenues; however, increasing interest rates, banks unwillingness to lend so freely affected business - shut down shop and started at Big 4 5) work on either quarterly, semi-annual, annual or monthly - payment date verification on over 75 different structures 6) perform quarterly review (collateral+bond holder payment+credit swap credit protection payments + changes to structure) on 10 US Credit Default Swaps and 5 European Credit Default Swaps 7) valuation on structured products .... that's pretty clear in the resume 8) I've worked on a new CRE CDO issuance; however, that never came to market as the investors fell through in late 2008 9) ton of experience with legal docs + modeling based on legal docs language (Offering Circulars/Pro Sups/Indentures/Credit Swaps/Credit Agreements/Appraisals/Deeds of Trust etc...... ) for underlying collateral in CDOs/CLOs/CDS'

Please rip this apart...... have fun!

Quantify further. Add some "resulting in's..."

I would have a sub-title with your previous position/duties at the same firm, then separate set for current role.

Remove awards, too experienced for that, esp "Wall Street Prep" Throw that in the skills section if you wish. If that award is within the company i would just make it a bullet.

Remove office suite.
