It depends a bit on what you're looking to go into, but if it's investment banking I would suggesting using the Mergers and Inquisition template (it looks like you're almost using it now, but there are formatting errors). I think that would solve the formatting issues of the resume.
Here are a few thoughts:
-I would include your SAT / ACT if the score is impressive. Might help mitigate the low cumulative GPA.
-Just say "Minor" not "Anticipated Minor"
-Your "Town, STATE" should all be right aligned
-Your "Place of Employment" should all be left aligned
-All dates should be right aligned and line up with each other
-You're using an Oxford comma in some places (Second bullet under Property Company) and you aren't using it in other places (first bullet under bank). Choose one and go with it
-I'm not in love with Individual Investor bullets. It seems like you're fairly young (Year 2?) so I think it's fine, but it would definitely be the first to go in my opinion. However, you should describe what you're including as "Fundamental Analysis" (what factors you consider, etc.)
-Again, advice that's only applicable if you're young: I would try to join a finance organization to go in "Leadership Experience." It seems like right now, you're only in a fraternity. That's fine for now but I'd try to get involved somehow.
-I'd be careful about putting "high proficiency" in excel. Bankers are proficient in a very specific way.
-Include an "Interests" line. Change "Technology" to "Skills"
MJK,
Thank you for your comments. In regard to format my school has a software program that builds and formats resumes. When I converted the PDF to word to change it, a lot of the formatting got messed up. I will be joining a finance society next semester and also have applied for an analyst position at an undergraduate research fund at my school that research stocks and the markets. Also getting the individual investor section off is something I should accomplish very soon.
Also I put high proficiency in excel due too the fact I can code excel macros to compliment spreadsheets and have done so in a formal banking(commercial) environment before. I also have experience with everything from pivot tables to VLookups to index match to solver and formal financial modeling training as well. Would this not qualify has a high proficiency?
