I'm looking to obtain a job in may 2012 doing analyst work or sales and trading, preferably leveraging my internship with an aerospace company

How can i make my resume more competitive for finance given my accounting/supply chain background?

Please critique my resume, don't hesitate to be harsh if it is constructive.

thanks.

What year are you, rising senior?

There is nothing really wrong with your resume. You have phenomenal formatting, good layout, great language and bullet points, good quantification, and decent experience. At this point, you need to identify whether you want banking or trading. I imagine (this is purely conjecture) you aren't looking at sales heavily given what's reflected on paper, so try to narrow down your focus. If you're trying to leverage your industry knowledge, banking would probably be a better idea since sales and trading isn't industry specific but product specific.

To be nitpicky, I'd put 'president', 'member', and 'recipient' in normal typeface instead of italics to denote them from the list that follows. You also failed to black out your school name in the Greeklife bullet points. Finally, your GPA is substandard. You study accounting and supply chain management, not engineering. Were it engineering, especially from your school, you'd have a much easier go of it. As it is, you'll need to network to get people to overlook that number.

Good luck.

Thank you for the comments, i really appreciate them. would you think it be beneficial i withhold my GPA and hope they pick me based on my work/projects?

 

If you leave your GPA out, that will make people think it's even lower than it actually is.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

General rule is as long as it's over 3.0, keep it. Network, that will mitigate your grades.
