Non-Target Rising Junior Resume Critique Pls!

Greetings Fellow Monkeys,

I am a rising 3rd year at a non-target. I've been doing all I can to prepare myself for summer internship recruiting for bulge bracket banks this coming fall. If you guys could please critique my resume (make suggestions/revisions, etc.) and please be BRUTALLY HONEST about anything you would change, I'd greatly appreciate it. :-)

Thanks!

-TGP

I second what Mr Hansen said. Take out one or two experiences and beef up your SA experience. That's your money-maker right there, and that is what will get you in for the SA this year.

I have a tender spot in my heart for cripples, bastards, and broken things
 

@"TravelBonobo" @"Mr. Hansen" I took your suggestions and re-posted a 2nd draft of my resume. Let me know what you guys think! What do you guys think about my 'Additional Information' section? It works?

 

Looks better. Your leadership info is still scrunched up though. I would take out "Psychology" as interest unless you have something more specific. That's like saying "Human Behavior" is an interest!

Btw: Potato Capital is a great firm name! Haha

@"TravelBonobo" I took out Psychology and decreased my font size from 11 to 10.5 to allow for the additional spaces, so that my "Additional Info" section wouldn't spill over into page 2. How does it look now?

And thanks! haha. I just thought of the derp-iest thing I could think of :-)

 

@"TravelBonobo" Thank you for all your input! Let me know if you ever post one too, and I'll gladly return the favor. :-) @"Mr. Hansen" Good catch on the comma! I erased that, as well as my basic Korean skills. I also got rid of the "Co-major" part, since I guess it doesn't have to be there.. (but the IB really isn't a 2nd major, it is a co-major!)
