This is not a great resume. Your sparse work experience as a club finance director and in retail need to be fleshed out, how did you assess funding needs? In which way did you analyze financial records? None of your leadership experience conveys actual leadership. Personally, I don't think your acheivements warrant enough importance to have their own section and would move them to education (and here I would include any relevant classes you've taken). By putting Java, Python and C++ in your technical skills you better make sure you actually know what you're talking about, not just because you took AP CS (or a udemy class or something). Your interests are crap and not very interesting tbh. Finally, your fluency in Hindi is completely irrelevant for 99% of the positions you'll be applying for in the US (and this is coming from a native speaker). Good luck
Thank you for your harsh and honest critique of my resume. For the fleshing out, I changed the financial records part. I am not sure how to spin my retail stint to make it sound good on my resume. Any advice? I can move my achievements up to education, and I will definitely put in relevant coursework there. Should I change the heading "Leadership" to "Activities" instead?
Finally idk what to do with my crap interests and I'm unsure how to portray them more zestfully. My fluency in Hindi yeah probably doesn't matter but since I don't have anything else to put on my resume is it alright if I leave it there?
Regards,
Jay
It appears as though you're a freshman... at this point you wouldn't have any real work experience so you have to make yourself marketable in some way. Being interesting is crucial as well no one wants to hire a fucking loser, even for a summer. So I'd focus on getting more useful experience (investment association, any managing type of role, research, etc) and appearing on paper as someone an employer wouldn't mind speaking to. Minimize the retail exp and focus more on the finance chair job. Surprised that you haven't joined the school's investment association that's an easy 2-3 bullets given you're an active member.
Serious about the CS stuff, if you've done projects (real ones, not easy shit for school) throw them on there that'll be a huge talking point (was for me, but that's my major). And if you haven't... put beginner or something next to it or just drop it. Good luck
advanced calculus really? that's getting close to a graduate level course.
btw what kind of job are you going for? I realize you are probably excited to get any kind of job but you need to at least sound targeted in your goals in interviews.
Quite frankly, I doubt any of the MM in my area would want to hire me as a summer analyst since I simply lack experience. You did just give me an idea to beef up my resume though, I can stress the fact I've done a lot of math (i've done multivariable, diff eq, linear algebra etc.).
As an intern I'd like to assist analysts and get a feel for what they do while doing any menial work they may not want to do. Such as inputting data into excel, doing powerpoints or random shit like that.
Advanced calc isn't anywhere close to grad level... I'm assuming OP means calc post-integ/diff which is just Calc II or III.
Many of those MM are looking for students with atleast a couple accounting and finance courses (with competency in basic financial accounting an absolute must). Advise you to contact local PWM firms in the next coming months (it's still pretty early and most don't start looking for interns til around March) or shoot for something in an interesting field (a VC firm or startup, or non-profit) which will make you stand out for the countless other people gunning for finance. Good luck
