IB resume - Any critiques?

no need for high school stuff

dont list TA position twice

audit internship can probably be compressed into one header

ONE PAGE!!!!!

you need to vary your verb usage...also don't have all of the white space at the top of the page (where the A levels, O levels thing is)

Hmm.. thanks a lot! I put the high school stuff there to sort of offset the shitty GPA (Honors/Grades offset the GPA). I'll remove that and incorporate the above suggestions!

EDIT: Would it make sense to remove some management related courses and include other finance (relevant) courses that I included or is the coursework mentioned right now okay as well? Also, should I make a separate head (just like Top Bschool) for the CFA or just a bullet would suffice? I was thinking of adding in my SAT scores (math was pretty good 780 and 790 for I and II respectively) - should I?

Updated it accordingly. Thanks for the tips! Let me know if I'm missing something. I know the fluent in english part, i'll change it to the 2 other ones I want to mention.

Improved will go line by line again. Not going to be around until the weekend so good luck.

1. Next to CFA use a semicolon ; SAT (score) ; GRE (score) do not write out of 800 and do not exclude writing then they will assume that your writing was poor. Just put the full score if it is high or the full GRE score (again do not put out of 170). Do not include SAT II just stick with one and say "SAT"
2. Teaching assistant bullets need a tad bit of work tighen the language on 2, 3, 4 because you want it to end as a full line or two full lines to keep it simple (otherwise the formatting looks bad)
3. Be more specific on job title in Barclays (hard to tell the position) unless you are doing so to cover yourself on this forum. Also tighten bullet three to fit on one line.
4. Audit work is fine, the last bullet on ENY doesn't explain a task though, either delete or add who you worked for similar to PWC
5. Same comments on the leadership (also align bullets), not sure what groups, tasks, results are in here looks like you have a lot of them but just choose ones that are relevant to finance. That way if they scan your leadership positions it will all be finance related.
6. Financial derivatives was this for a class? Group?
7. Volunteer work needs to be left aligned as well. Remove the word "I assisted" to be consistent with the rest of the resume "assisted with in.... tasks". Also remove the word "basic"
8. The line under "additional information" doesn't extend across the full page like the other line breaks.

After that it should be in better shape and much cleaner to be sent out to banks.

Hmm.. So I think I managed to do a little formatting here and there. Fixed some lines and incorporated the suggestions. The leadership work was mostly working on projects ann whatnot, so basically team leader would be the title. Should I highlight it in all 3 points or is the way I've written it now much better?

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! Have a safe journey!

you should dig up one of my old posts on resumes (it was featured on the WSO homepage). I'm too lazy to find it . If you're too lazy to look it up, basically you have too much crap on your CV and need to cut it down to the 3 main points you're selling. Everything just steals attention away from those 3 main points. Think writing a thesis for your paper.

Hmm.. I see where you're getting it. I'll look into it. Thanks! :)

Just a comment on the look of the resume. I think you need to make it more appealing to the eyes. As someone else said, there is too much information. Eyes should flow from your name and contact information and have a pattern that doesn't make someone think "shit... I have to read all this?". Specially if they only have a few seconds to read it. Maybe have a little white space in certain places so the eyes don't feel claustrophobic.

P.s. couldn't stop laughing at the "in the closet, narnia" address.

Overall strong resume but yeah it killed my eyes. Apply that to the folks flipping through 400+ resume books every day.

Thanks guys. Had my graduation and stuff. Thanks for the input, I was thinking the same - it is very claustrophobic. Need to add some white space here and there! :(

There are two periods at the end of the last sentence in your TA description.
