Junior at Non-Target trying to break into IBD...Resume Help!
Hey guys,
Ive been a long time follower here but only just recently created my account. My goal is to obtain an internship relative to my career aspirations for this semester. I go to a non-target school on the jersey shore think (wagner, fordham, etc) and no im not a guido. My school’s location to new york certainly helps students as there are often boutiques and middle market banks from the city that actively recruit here. Im fully aware that the series 63 and 65 are not pertinent to investment banking however I figured it cant hurt to put it on there...I know you guys are good at it so would you mind tearing apart my resume and letting me know what should/needs to be changed?
Take off 'ethics" from your relevant coursework.
Your "skills" section is a bit of a joke...
Don't have "anticipated" designations on your resume.
A few small things:
Annoyingly small, but I would say put dates either Jan. 2009 or 01/2009 rather than 1/2009
The "Expected May 2014" doesn't look right-aligned with the New Jersey above it
Bigger picture things:
Your bullets under Financial Analyst Intern are pretty vague (especially when compared to those under Sales & Distribution Representative). For example, "Compiled data..." is pretty weak imo, as is "to numerous accounts." Try to use either a specific # or show where you added value a bit better (show results and such)
Your "main bullets" for each internship don't actually say anything. Just make the sub-bullets the actual bullets
How exactly did you "forge strong client relationships"?
The sub-bullet for the Finance and Economics club is also wishy-washy. Can you talk about the specific industries you covered and any events you wrote about in particular?
Your skills section is not good; they need to be concrete things...your resume is supposed to show not tell the kind of "skills" you break out
Agree with above to take out anticipated designations
Hope that is helpful.
