Maybe replace blacked out info with generic titles to give us something to work with? For example, "mid-tier BB." Also, I'm no expert, but I thought anything over a page has to wait until you have VP level experience. If anything, I would drop everything from your school section and just list the activities on one line, like fraternity, etc.
Yes I agree, the resume is too long it should be 1 page only.
Ok thanks for the advice...any other tips on shortening it down without cutting out an entire job? I'll probably take out the bottom school entirely
Also, school is a north east semi target, current bank is mid-top tier BB, interned at same bank, first internship was PWM at large BB
So quite really, your work experience goes on top as opposed to school. That being said, you should shorten your first internship stint to a few lines. May as well shorten everything but your actual job itself. Most of it doesn't need the level of detail you have up there (even though its very good stuff!).
I would also get rid of your school activities, mainly because they are just taking up valuable resume real estate right now.
This resume is a formatting nightmare. For starters, standardize your verb tenses and take off the periods at the end of your sentences. The bullet points you use for your first school are squares, while all the ones you use after are circles. Your secondary empty bullet points have bizarre spacing issues. Some look like double spaces, others look like you pressed "tab". Is that the letter "o" for the third empty bullet point on the second page of your resume? On the first page you tell me that you are treasurer of two organizations; please don't repeat that information under activities.
As others have said, use the M&I format and put your work experience on top. If you want to cut down on content then you're going to have to pick and choose your experiences. Perhaps take out the treasury experiences, take out your second school, 7 bullet points for your current job, 3 bullet points for your each internship and operator experiences. Make font smaller and margins wider to fit all of this information. Good luck.
Why does everyone not understand that at a junior level resume = 1 page.
Widen the margins and make the font a 10 or so.
Thanks for the comments everyone. As you can see I'm a trader not a banker so formatting definitely isn't my strong suit. The file has been taken down while I'm working on it but don't worry it will be back.
Thanks for the comments and keep them coming!
We're back up and running with an already much improved version

vince,,, you might want to remove your name as it is in the doc title....one google search and your linkedin pops up pretty easily.
What CFA level are you on ( this should be stated)?. If your on 1 I would cut it, as its pretty meaningless.
