IB Ready? Resume Bash (May 2012 Grad)
Hello everyone,
Please review my resume (constructive criticism welcome).
I'm from a top 30 private Uni, with some semi-relevant industry experience,
My only concern is my low GPA (very low) so I'll have to network like crazy or take up a job at McDonalds... eh :/
a) Your resume does not conform to the standard format. Education should be on top at this point
b) What is your GPA? Leaving it off is an automatic boot
Thanks for the input. I'll take care of that asap.
My GPA is ~ 2.82. I was lucky to get decent internships/co-op in the past, but I'm afraid that this time around I'll get tossed.
Alright, another silly GPA question.
What if your CGPA is not so great (3.33) and your major GPA is 3.5. Can you put just the major GPA on your Resume.
On a side note, what if the GPA cutoff for a internship is 3.5? I am guessing you can't qualify for that based on your major GPA, can you?
For OP: - I would recommend removing those white bullets next to your job title. It makes things really cluttered. - I thought center-align was considered a big no-no. - MS Office is not a skill worth mentioning. - I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that all those thick gray borders are a result of Razume incorrectly processing your formatting. Otherwise, I would say it's quite a bit of overkill, especially up top.
For everyone: I thought career profiles/objectives went out of style a decade ago. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks again! I'm on it!
I'll get rid of the career prof section and elaborate more @ hobbies/ linguistic skills
I think the big take away here is to trash your resume and redo it using something similar to the M&I format.
Swap it to the M&I format. Just stick with the format, keep it simple.
Since your overall is sub-3.0, don't mention it. If your major GPA is ok, then add that.
Alright. Sounds like it'll be a long day/night. I sincerely appreciate all your comments. Wish me luck!
What is the reasoning behind your low GPA? Bad freshman year? Anything explainable or is it just what it is?
