Are you still unsure of your major? Expand on your first experience
There's a LOT of white space at the top and bottom. Margins are pretty big, too..
I know my major but is specific to my school so I took it out. Not that it's a big deal if people know where I go. And thanks I'm thinking of what to add there without sounding redundant.
I'm just using normal margins. Should I narrow them and add more text?
Thanks for you help guys. Any other feedback would be a big help (content specific).
If you want content specific feedback, here's something...
You lack specificity, there's no idea what your experience really is. i.e. First bullet under first experience - what type of analytics, what metrics did you use? what companies? what was the outcome?
Let me know if that helps.
Ok thanks a lot for the help!
The position I accepted was supposed to be split between fund and direct investing. Turns out all I have been doing is fund work, so I haven't been exposed to any real modeling. Most of the analysis is just looking at returns under different scenarios and comparing them. Would it still be worth it to go into detail about this?
And isn't the invest really the outcome? Correct me if I'm wrong but it will take time to see if it was a good investment or not.
Thanks again for the help!
There's a lot that can be fixed, including format, content and punctuation, i don't have the time to address all of it right now.
You should talk about the metrics you observed and how you analyzed them, no intern is supposed to do real modeling, the most that the majority of interns have the opportunity/responsibility to do is spreading comps.
What are these key findings? Also a bit of ambiguity with the investment...
You should reread all of your bullets and ask yourself what is missing, how can I add numbers/value to my statements, and how can I truly capture my impact?
Hope it helps.
