Looking for my Resume to be Reviewed

I'm hoping to get into equity research. I'm hoping that you guys can critique my resume. I'm mainly hoping you can tell me whether it is too crowded or not. I took out all mentions to schools and companies that I am affiliated with.

Thanks in advance for all your help. I'll be happy to give out SBs for your help.

just from briefly skimming it, I would try to add more spaces between each experience so it doesn't look too cramped. Also, I would make sure all of my points extend to the end of the page, rather than having just 3-4 words on an entire new line. I would also add relevant coursework if that's applicable. just my $0.02 - not too bad overall

Too crowded, space between sections needed for sure

You can easily get some lines back though:

- Coordinated philanthropy events such as the Jill Behrmann 5k, which raises awareness of violence in the community - Led discussions on topics relevant to current financial markets including quantitative easing, credit default swaps and the fiscal cliff. - Instructed by leaders on how to successfully organize and manage meetings and events of more than 50 members and guests.
  • Coordinated events such as the Jill Behrmann 5k, which raises community awareness of violence
  • Led discussions on timely topics including quantitative easing and credit default swaps
  • Successfully organized and managed meetings and events attended by 50 members and guests
 

Thanks guys. Much appreciated. In order to gain more space would you recommend condensing the header into maybe 2 lines rather than 4?

 

instead of Bloomberg certified I would write BAT or Bloomberg Assessment Test passed and date. Coursera student doesn't really change anything because anyone can claim that they subscribed online (I use it myself) Did you earn any honors at school? I would also include major GPA.

 

Thanks Beny23. I changed the Bloomberg and added the Business GPA. I used all prerequisites (like basic frosh maths, english) to calculate it, is that acceptable? Lastly, related to Coursera, I have completed a bunch of classes on it, all classes that were related to the relevant work in ER. I plan on carrying a few certificates in my padfolio in the hopes an interviewers asks me to explain the premise.
