non-target, little finance exp, need lots of help

Hey guys, my first post here after reading dozens of other resume critiques over here, thought I might give it a shot.

Graduated last year from a non-target school (UCI), wasn't able to get myself into any of the big 4 accounting firms despite some 2nd round interviews.

I am currently looking for a finance position in either one of the f500s or one of the big banks out there. Probably not ibanking, but something along the line of equity research, fund accounting. Basically just want to start off somewhere, get my foot in the door, and work my way up. Currently also applying for some of the mt/ma positions at Citi and HSBC.

Feel free to be harsh!!

Thanks in advance

You should try to get your foot in the door by applying for stockbroker positions at MM and boutique investment banks. Those positions are a tad bit easier to get. Then go from there.

 

-Separate your two minors with a semicolon; I can't tell whether Information goes with Accounting or Computer Science.

-I'd take out the part about GPA being out of 4.0, your school is US so it's assumed

-In your interests section you spelled rural wrong.
