I need Monkey Help ASAP (resume)

Hello all,

Thanks for opening this! Please take the time to critique/rip-apart my resume on both content and formatting.

I do have some specific areas of concern:
1) "Sitting for CPA Examination in April-May 2012" good/bad?
2) I just started for a Big 4 in January 2013 in Transactions so I don't have much specific experience to write about. Do the bullets seem way too generic for an IB Resume?
3) Boutique experience: Did I present my experience there well?
4) Technical skills section. Good/bad?

Thanks again. I will start networking now to be in a good position for August/September 2013 FT recruiting.

Thanks Ruskii

The CPA dates are a stupid mistake on my part. I meant April-May 2013, as in next month.

I was working at a boutique my last semester in school for about 30 hours/wk while I was enrolled in my last 2 classes. It was a very small shop (1 president/owner, and 4 analysts). Should I change the title to "IB Fall analyst" or "IB intern" to note that is was not full-time?

There was a period for about a month where I interned at both places for about 20 hours/wk at each. I had a great opportunity at the boutique but I was wrapping up some projects at the PWM firm. Should I "cut my experience short" to end my PWM internship in August to avoid confusion?
