Internship Resume/ Sophomore

Just wanted to clarify that I am from a state school (not ranked)

a lot of white space, you can reduce by adding high school to eat up some lines until you get more experience. I assume you whited out your header as well

Many of your bullet points are actions without results, elaborate more on the things you did and how they lead to increased ______ or improved________ or another defined end result from your actions. This will also fill in some of the white space you have at the bottom

also, a few lines only have one word (or few) in it, so it looks bad in terms of formatting with the unnecessary white space

you should also just reach out to alumni at all the places you are applying to and try to network to see if your application can be circulated internally, otherwise your application will almost certainly be tossed by HR (mainly because they rarely hire sophomores, and I'm also assuming they do not actively recruit at your school)

Thanks everyone for the honest review. I will be making changes to include more results that have resulted from my actions. @ct banker: I have applied to many boutiques; and for DB and JPM I was going to apply to their program specifically for sophomores. I think I'll hold off on GS and apply there next year.

@hey Paul: Is going to state school going to cause a problem next year as well? (no on campus recruiting)

abhi7 it will make it more difficult to get your application noticed if you just apply on the companies' main websites

just start early (now) and reach out to alumni or family/friend connections at as many firms as possible. Stay connected with them up until next winter for jr year recruiting. Explain that their firm doesn't recruit at your school and just try to have your resume passed around internally so it makes into the hands of the right people (head recruiters or the older bankers)

i would also search through the different articles and posts on WSO, theres a lot of good information on this site that helps you with recruiting if there is no OCR at your school.

Thank you Hey Paul, great advice!
