Junior Resume Critique Please

Hey guys I'm currently a Junior looking into summer internships. Next summer my goal is to land an SA ibanking role, but I'm also looking at other finance internships as well. Please critique my resume if you get the chance. I'd greatly appreciate it.

It looks pretty pleasing, actually. A little too crowded - I recommend a small space between positions. In order to get the space to do that, summarize your classes in one line and fix the formatting error in the second bullet above "Leadership Activities"

  • Consolidate scholarship and Dean's list into one line
  • Consolidate GPAs into one line
  • Make dates consistent (Date-Date, Date- Date), I recommend "Date – Date"
  • Rework "business development strategies such as cold calling" - this sounds weak, prefer "strategies such as cold calling, direct mail, online marketing"
  • Rework to "Organized confidential tax equalization and tax payment documents; destroyed inactive files"
  • Think of something better than "maintained availability". Showing up for work is not a resume-worthy job skill

You should also use more space in your relevant F500 internship rather than in your operations/administrative-related jobs. That should be your focal point and it's ok to have 5-6 relevant bullets there to take some time to describe a meaningful project rather than have 3 bullets in the middle and 2 at the bottom relating to your experience with domestic disputes.

Looking good though, and I like the font (Calibri? Monitor is slightly distorted on this vid card so can't tell). Good luck.
