There are lots of resources on this forum, sample resumes, and other recommendations. Take a look at those.
In short, the descriptions under each job / experience on your resume need to beef up to match the qualities needed for an ER intern. Identify those qualities: research experience, intellectual curiosity, understanding of an industry, familiarity with research tools (capIQ, bloomberg, reuters, etc).
Use the https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140929001534-24454816-my-personal-form…</a">formula "Accomplished x as measured by y by doing z" for your resume. You're going to really have to 'blow up' the university finance experience. Don't say that you learned about X industry or sector, demonstrate that with an actual line.
Example: instead of "increased my knowledge about some areas of finance..." (this doesn't help on your resume) say, "Invested in XXX industry/stock on the basis of YYY (weak competitors, strong product growth, stronger addressable market, etc) and returned ZZZ"
Honestly no one will care about return percentages (probably a small $ number anyways), but will want to see what you researched and how you came to your conclusions.
Good luck!
