Needs work, specifically in the experience section. Its good to list highlights from your experience rather than your general job description. For example performed strategic analysis on a software company with $xxMM in revenue in which I identified several targets for purchase. I know its hard to document the value add for intern work--which banks understand--but you can always add a little flair. Also try and define items a little more, for example, rather than "smaller firms" state their size in revenue.
Thank you for the feedback. Most firms we work with are startups so they don't have revenue. Do you think I can state that? Also, I got to meet the entrepreneurs and led interviews with them. Any other comment is welcome.
As ssmaclac mentioned, you need to 'bankify' your resume. Hope this helps.
Upon your advice, I made some changes. I know I still have to work on it, but does that look better?
