Final Rising Sophomore IBD Resume
Hey Guys,
I made some updates to the resume and think I am ready to send it out. Here is what it currently looks like at this point:

EDIT UPDATED: http://www.razume.com/documents/26159
The one sentence in red is one that I believe needs work on, but would like to have others opinions. The only other thing I'm slightly worried about is the three bullet format. Some say keep it, others say get rid of it. If you have any comments or suggestions please post them.
Thanks
Thoughts from a quick look:
My vote is to get rid of the 3 bullet format. You can easily condense lines. Currently it's not very pleasing to the eyes.
Relevant coursework is too general
valued the...owned assets -> Valued five bank-owned assets for potential acquisition, which led...
valuation of four funds, [comma] each
efficiency and time -> take out "and time"
analysis of fund's investments, [comma] resulting
third bullet on same job...usage of "and" is repetitive
hyphenate year-end and after-school
Excel is capitalized
Don't capitalize fishing in fly fishing
Not sure abt the paint and hardware thing's usefulness, but you were an employee "for" 7 years, not "of"
Nabooru,
Thanks for the comments. The one thing I'm worried about is the three bullets. Do you suggest getting rid of the third bullet and just bringing those lines back? I'll update the resume now and post a link to the updated verision. Thanks again
Personally I prefer just one line of bullets..you'd probably have to adjust the wording a little for it to work if you did this, but yes, getting rid of the first bullet and bringing the lines back is a good start.
damn man, I must say that's a nice resume for only a rising sophomore. how'd you get that summer internship in NY last year w/ no experience?
Thanks neighbor. Hoping for that S&T internship next summer but who knows.
SenseOfUrgency, ultimately S&T would be incredible because that is eventually what I want to be doing. However, I would love to land any BB IB job.
looks great. best of luck in recruitment
For your third main bullet point under first exp: "aided in the conversion of a more versatile...." should that be "conversion TO a more versatile..."?
Thanks Flake - made the change
Anyone else have an opinion?
Great resume man.
Few things: 1. Your two indented, clear bullets are not parallel with each other 2. 2nd bullet for venture fund - starts with in the process of. Try to make the sentence structure parallel with the other bullets (start off with a past tense verb) 3. Right-side date and city alignment (not necessary but would look better) try to set up a right tab there 4. "Technical skills" section - i would take it, its a waste of a line. they already know you can do office because of the modeling, i would incorporate using Capital IQ into one of the bullet points 5. most recent Internship date - i would just say "summer 2011-summer 2012" for parallelism.
Thanks for that Orangebull. I'll make all those changes.
