Lateral / Buyside resume

First thoughts...

Seems like you have good experience but it needs to be cleaned up a bit. M&I or similar format please; the whole bullet/arrow/line thing is distracting. Get rid of the indents on lines 2 and 3 of your description. Def seems a bit much on the current job...why isn't there a skills/interests section? Space out the hyphens in the dates. Also, this is my personal view but I don't like the term "analyst intern."

Any ideas on how to cut it down? I've done a lot of work on the deals mentioned because they were left leads. To me, it all seems important and cannot be excluded.

I'm asking for WSO to look over it because I'd like to know what you guys feel is important/unimportant. This will help me condense the info.

The interests section was removed because: I ran out of space; not in 3rd grade anymore

No need to get snippy dude. You have nice experience obviously but my point was that section-wise it just seems a bit unbalanced and a bit visually unappealing, maybe not a big deal to others but just my two cents. Perhaps skip the details after the word "to" on some of the points. By the way Excel should be capitalized.

Didnt mean to come off as snippy. Believe me, I'm eager to get as much constructive criticism as possible.

I've stared at it too long today (writing it took up my whole morning). It definitely needs fresh eyes to catch the problems.

I changed the "excel"s to "Excel"s.

Im cutting down on the unnecessary stuff after "to"s. Example, first line under first deal now reads:

" Conducted industry and market research; prepared questions for due-diligence calls and meetings to help make an informed decision on structuring and underwriting a highly levered deal"

I also re-ordered my responsibilities for the deals so that modeling was at the top, followed by structuring, followed by research.

Thanks

No worries. Good luck, you got some nice experience there.

Also, justified or left-aligned paragraphs for a resume?

Both have drawbacks :(

Justified has weird/inconsistent spacing between words, but the edges look good. Left align is the opposite. Opinions?

Always left align a resume as the spacing is out of your control. A small edit could have unintended consequences.

Thanks. Do you have any thoughts on the resume itself? :)

sounds lie corporate banking to me. might want to add that to your title so people don't get confused and think you were actually in an investment banking group.

didn't even bother to read trough your deal experience, its just way to much for the eyes. i'd leave the selected transaction on there, but slim it down. as in you don't need to write a novel on each deal. just get to the point. you can elaborate in your interviews.
