Hello Everrrrbodyy
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE jelp me
I need some advice on my resume,
Under my experience, should I keep my student assistant employments that has nothing to do with the finance job?
(I am applying for Finance positions)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated = ]
Cut it down to 1 page and get rid of those brackets around your GPA
Thanks brahh gave u a silver bananna for the first one to respond.
Another silver bannan will be given to the last one who respond.. XD
-_- monkey shit for u. lol jk ok i re upload it
Look at your dates, specifically the way they are formatted. You want:
Month 2012 - Month 2013
I see in at least one spot you have:
Month 2012- Month 2013
See the difference? Make sure the hyphens and spaces are all consistent.
Also, I'm assuming you've got two positions listed there in the same section? Only the top title is in italics when they both should be. Someone else may want to chime in on whether or not you should combine those two positions. I don't see a problem with it as the roles were likely identical if not very similar, but it might be a faux pas. Not sure.
As for the student assistant positions, two identical concurrent positions? Keep them for now I guess, but as soon as you need space, eliminate the less impressive experience.
You sure monitor the number of students a lot.

I'm not sure if finance should be bold here, I wouldn't do it. Maybe someone else will chime in on whether or not this is an issue.
Also, remove the periods from the ends of your bullet points...
Haha, made you look.
All these replies are wonderfull
@surething Thank you thank you really appreciate it~! gave u a bananana
@flake lol yea I was thinking if i can lie and put monitored the amount of students through spreadsheet and the other one use excel. Or I should just delete that bullet point?
one time on a cover letter I put "I will be calling you 7 times on monday"
Can you make your bullet points sound...not so shitty? Most of them are just listing daily tasks. Do you have any achievements or results? Can you demonstrate in the experience section that what you did resulted in something valuable?
The fact that you have "monitored the number of students" taking up not one, but two bullet points on your resume is just...wow. Do you think your potential employer will be like: "Oh shit, this kid can really count the number of people in a room. We need some of that around here, he is fucking in"?
Set aside more time to think about the real highlights of your work experience.
What have you been doing with your life? Bad GPA, bad school, no solid work experience, no decent extracurricular activities...do you have 8 kids and sick parents that you had to take care of?
Lastly, what do you mean by you are applying to "finance" jobs? What do you want to do? Try to manage your expectations in the short-term until you get some valuable experience.
You speak hokkien? Are you from Singapore?
Also, if your gonna block out where you go to school at the top of your resume, you might wanna do it at the bottom too when you list your activities and such. Not that showing where you went to school really matters on this website.
nah im fujianese the dialect is called hokkien.
we tend to be loud and ask customer for tips.. LOL
Thanks for pointing it out.
You still need to fix the dates. They're consistent, but not ideal.
You want:
May(space)2011(space)-(space)June(space)2011
Right now you are missing the space between the first date and the hyphen. You can have the best bullet points in the world, but if your formatting on something as important as your resume reveals an inattention to detail you become easy to ding.
ay thanks again bro! will update once i fix my bullets some more i guess..
There has to be some type of restriction to posting new topics, especially in this sub-forum.
Each new user can immediately post a topic, attached with a crappy resume? Where's the effort in trying to make a decent resume besides "monitoring" people? What does that even mean?
Bitch, you and flake need to go to a room and fuck each other off. Constructive criticism please.
A donkey like you shouldnt even be allow in this forum. Why would you even say something that has already been said? Dumb bitch
Flake actually gave you great, if a bit harsh, advice.
I love your reaction, though. Keep it up.
I know this has been said many times but when you get the M&I template for your cv there is a lot of wording already given for each of the sub bullets. take that, play around with it and try to make the bullets you have now more extensive, more applicable and just punchier in terms of what message they deliver, right now everything is very vague, short at not to the point at all.
is there any finance related club at uni you can join, anything finance related in the jobs aside counting the money you made during a day (accounting may do it as well)
Flake's comment is pretty much to the point. put some more effort into this and then show us again. A good CV is not written in 10 minutes it takes time to draft and craft.
oh yeah and stop insulting people that are trying to help, the attitude you bring across already in this threat is very bad and doesn't reflect favorable upon you.
Yeahh I know flake gave me alot hence I didnt complain until coochie came along., I been working since middle school and continued to work every year while I was in college. So I didnt appreciate the "what have you been doing with your life comment" but i agree I could have done alot more.
You know theres levels to this shit, 10 minutes for you are like days to me..
Thank you all again for the comment I really do appreciate each and every one.
