Looking to break in. Please give my resume a look! All feedback appreciated!!

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post. I've been trying to get into a Financial Analysis role since college but have not had much luck. My prior internship that had financial analysis wasn't relevant to analyzing financial statements, so my experience in that department is lacking. While I love the idea of IBD, I don't think I could get my foot in the door with the credentials I have thus far. I believe a decent route for me is to pursue a CFA of MBA long-term but in the short term try and get a role within a commercial banking group to at least get some sort of relevant experience. Please let me know if this is a good route to take as well as if there is anything I can do to my resume to help it stand out and/or be more catered to the commercial banking field.

Thanks in advance. so much for all your time and help.

No, of course I'm not looking for a 100K+ salary, but the intervals go from 0-5,000, 10,000-15,000, 100,000-110,000. I'm looking for an entry level salary. As far as the school goes, I put it at the bottom because I believed that was the procedure once you have been in a full-time role post undergraduate. Do you think it should go on top? It was Rutgers University by the way.
