Michigan Ross BBA Internship Resume

http://www.razume.com/documents/25280

This is my expected resume for when I start applying around November/December 2012.

I'm a BBA student at Ross and I've been really trying to get some good experience, so please let me know how the experience looks, if there's just too much, etc.

Thank you.

  • I think your involvement with the fraternity should be separate from your work experience
  • I don't think it's necessary to put your experience at GAP if you are looking for a job in finance (but that's just me)

Computer skills: I'd clean this up by just listing the individual Office programs you are familiar with in the order of your familiary, i.e. "Excel, PowerPoint, Word" ... most of what you listed is assumed and the level of specificity is a bit ridiculous.

Interests: perhaps expand this a bit more, use less than full clauses and go with keywords only (this can be done just as well your way), could look something like "Performing/recording music, international politics, mountain biking, weightlifting" or similar.

Experience: consider splitting into two new sections on your resume altogether, one "Professional Experience" and another "Leadership Experience" or "Extracurricular Activities" or similar. - fraternity ought not to be lumped in with solid experience like your educational venture or research assistant or even band manager - put all the extracurricular/club positions in the section for experience that isn't professional

Formatting: - remove the last vertical bar character on the first line of each entry and justify all the dates to the right, you can do this in Word just by spamming the cursor on the right-hand border and it will type from right to left instead of the conventional way ... if you try cutting and pasting the date from where you have it and placing it on the right you'll have no luck - justify your expected graduation date to the right - consider hanging your bullets, it can be easier on the eyes if they are moved right as little as 1/8", I think that could be done without forcing any of your one-line bullets to spill over onto a second line

These are all just suggestions, but I think they could push an already strong resume over the top. You are in great shape right now.

I am permanently behind on PMs, it's not personal.
 

Thank you, I tried what you recommended and it really shaped up my resume.

I'm currently going back and forth on the idea of putting the following the bottom as "other"

• Residence: Lived in 2 countries and 7 cities, first-generation immigrant (now a U.S. citizen) • Rent: Paying for my own rent during school ($800/month)

One on hand, it helps paint a better picture of my life and shows some not-so-typical circumstances I'm dealing with. On the other hand, it seems unnecessary and that I'm trying too hard to impress, which can just be annoying.

Thoughts?

This is me speaking personally, but I would omit both of those. I feel you on the point that you're trying to paint a picture of a hard-working, strong-willed young guy overcoming adverse circumstances -- I got zero money from my parents towards school and worked 30+ hours a week through school to support myself. However, the 'rent' line is irrelevant to your resume (a living documentation of your professional experience). It is not professionally relevant, simply put. Same with the 'residence' one, I'm afraid.

On another note, razume really blurred that file. What font is that?
