Last minute SA IB resume

http://www.razume.com/documents/18083

I'm looking to work in NY ideally. I've posted this resume before on WSO so most of the formatting kinks have been worked out.

I'm most concerned about the content of my bullet points, specifically for my BB Asset Management gig and the IB bootcamp. My strategy for crafting my bullet points for the two experiences was to detail what I did without inviting too many difficult questions. For instance, at the BB I did assist a institutional FI desk and learned about the basics of FI from them. However, it was by no means my main job function and I didn't learn too much. What would an interviewer glean from "shadowing MDs..." and what types of questions should I be prepared for?

For the bootcamp, I had 0 finance experience prior to taking the course which was very fast paced and relatively disorganized. Although I learned a great deal about the competitive landscape of the industry and the break of the IB division, basic finance, etc, I couldn't really keep up with much of the modeling. I was absolutely "exposed" to different models but am worried that that bullet point may be a big bullseye for a pissed off interviewer to grill me on concepts I am not prepared for. Granted, I'm not a finance major nor have I taken many finance classes. Vanderbilt doesn't have an undergrad business school and I've heard that recruiters generally know this and don't expect Vanderbilt students to have a strong financial foundation. Thoughts?

As always, the help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
