I wonder if you can sneak past computer graded resume filters at BBs by putting a ton of "relevant" words throughout and packing a resume.

path less traveled
 

I think a blend of verbs to demonstrate leadership (organized, led, presented, communicated with.., managed) as well as some level of analytical capabilities (analyzed, modeled, built, studied the mkt for X Y Z trends) should be apt to demonstrate, on paper at least, the basic skills needed at the junior level. Of course, I too am trying to break in, but, as someone coming with 0 finance background, being able to leverage experiences where I was doing those things (listed above), albeit in a non-finance context, has been able to work!

Colleges and universities these days are quite strict about admission essays. Also keywords like Data analytics, data mining, and anything with data in them can be quite attractive.
