Going through recruiting in Sept / Oct. Just trying to get this baby ready.
I would appreciate any constructive criticism on my formatting, etc.
I have a soft offer from the boutique I am at but the deal flow is lacking lately so I have made the decision to go into recruiting.
BB IBD or Die... right?
I dont have much to say about the content, which i think is pretty good, but the format is pretty bad. Theres way too much white space on the left side towards the top.
I agree with jss09 that the content is good. I would say for IB role, listed out by transaction experience (as seen in M&I guide). Also, for skills, take out Microsoft skills listed since this is assumed of every applicant.
They aren't going to care you like to fish.
Delete that, make some white space, and streamline it
What makes fishing different from any other Hobby? ... that comment is NF.
Haven't done a resume review in a bit, but here's my quick glance:
-Set up paragraph mode in word and you'll see there are unnecessary spaces after your Student Finance Association and your Fraternity, as well as an improper paragraph indentation after the fraternity date and also a bold paragraph (all the other size-6 paragraph dividers are non-bold) in between the Small Hedge Fund and Large Corporation. This comment is meant to be more sarcastic since these are just poor construction/editing annoyances that won't actually affect the printed document (they're all there though, btw), but it still brings me to my most essential point of this whole ordeal: ALWAYS SHOW PDF. Unless you're applying to Microsoft, you should always present the electronic copy of your resume in pdf, it makes you seem like a noob otherwise.
-You're using multiple types of dashes to separate your date ranges. You should probably conform to an en dash (the longer one of the two you're using (not to be confused with an em dash, which is even longer)) as hyphens (the shorter ones) are supposed to be for connecting multiple words for a combined meaning.
-Should read "2 freshman" instead of "two freshman" to maintain consistency with rest of document.
-"Fin GPA" should be "Fin. GPA" since you used a period to abbreviate cumulative. That being said, my personal preference would be to see the words written out.
I would say comparable companies instead of comparable comps. Also, coming out of school, i would put your education ahead of your professional experience. Seems odd that you have categories describing your work (e.g., "Industry Research") in your first internship, but not in the rest. Your statement on marketing is too vague- i don't know what it means. Should be debt refinancing, not debt refinance
For some reason the pdf version was not uploading. Should have made note of that earlier. That would have been a noob mistake. Touche. You are right about the consistency aspects. Ill make sure to change that. I appreciate the look.
Try and speak to some deal experience. You have a bit, but it is quite vague. Maybe add a bit more color to those bullets.
