Non Target Senoir, UBS intern, No traction for fulltime job
http://www.razume.com/documents/19160
I am a senior in college from a non target in the bronx. I have UBS on my resume along with the creating of 1/2 million dollar business and a solid GPA. I cant seem to gain any traction at my internship or anywhere to interview for full time. I apply endlessly online and haven't heard from anyone for a 1st round even. What do I need to change up.
u spelled for wrong in the part where you create presentations "fro" complex director
That would get you dinged in an instant.
Format is not appealing.
Probably want to lose the MS Office skills. Also lose the Stock Trak skills, unless it is tough to learn or has name recognition, which I doubt.
Include an Activities line at the bottom. Let them know you have a normal life outside work.
Most importantly change the format. You use different fonts for crying out loud.
Good luck man, keep plugging!
Where are you trying to land??? Your resume is too weak for IB so aim lower build up the experience and then try to network.
Try to add numbers to your resume. Quantify what you did.
How else are you networking?
Turning in resumes online only isn't an acceptable networking strategy.
Use your resources. There has to be AT LEAST 1 person you know who works with a bank. Depending on what position they are in, have them try to get your resume to the right person (someone front office who has some pull).
Have you tried any temp agencies/headhunters/recruiters? Believe it or not since a lot of BB are still in merger transitions they are doing a lot of temp (6 - 12 month) hiring thru third parties. I've gotten 2 interviews with BBs from a headhunter and I have a 3.0 from a non-target.
Drop resumes off in person. Believe it or not, it can make a difference. Nine out of ten times they won't give a shit, but every now and then whoever is looking at your resume will be impressed that you actually dropped it off personally as opposed to going through the normal methods. I've even had a one experience where the secretary said, "Actually our senior analyst who hires junior analysts is in. Would you like to meet him?" Bingo.
Hell, at one point I even emailed a few analysts from local botiques asking them if they had any recommendations or advice. Believe it or not I got some great responses and recommendations on who is hiring/who isn't. Not one responded negatively.
It's really a numbers game and if your credentials are a bit lacking (like mine), you need to find ways to set yourself apart and show companies that you're out there busting your ass to work for them.
You sound unrealistically entitled in your post.
I'm not trying to cut you down, I'm sure you work very hard, but your experience isn't particularly impressive.
For starters, Collegiate Entrepreneurs sounds exactly like CollegeWorks Painting and that is pretty universally thought of as a scam to trick undergrads that are desperate for work experience (and the junior-level guys screening your resume will know this!!!).
Sure, UBS is strong, but it's only PWM, the skills aren't really transferable to something like banking, and there are students with much higher GPAs, better internships, and from MUCH better schools that are also struggling to get into the jobs you want. On paper at least, why should you get the job over them?
If you can write your resume in a way such that you can thoroughly address that last question, I guarantee you'll have better results in your search.
When did you apply? Recruiting season is over which may explain the lack of interest out there.
you're a senoire?
being an URM might help out tremendously and should land u some decent interviews
My 2 cents - take a few english classes. Your verb tenses are all over the place (eg. founded, recruited, track?). Not trying to sound like a dickhead here, but you'd be surprised how far writing skills go.
And your 2nd bullet for the August 2009 job should start with "built" not "build"
