Non-target state university grad looking for feedback
hello all,
I am a first time poster just wondering if I can have the WSO crew tearing my resume apart. I graduated in December and got a phone rep position at a fund company since the beginning of this year. I am trying to move on from my current role to a trading assistant/ junior trader position before i start studying for the CFA exam in December. Any type of feedback is appreciated!!

I'm not a a fan of the professional summary. I would also center your name and put your address underneath it.
Also, your organizational consulting bullets are in present tense while the rest are in past
Alright thanks! I would keep that in mind. What other things do you think I should put on there?
I would put the information included in the professional summary towards the bottom, in a section that includes skills and interests.
I am also an advocate of using projects instead of general descriptions for your best experiences (in this case your most recent experience). If you haven't already look up the Mergers & Inquisitions guide for writing resumes. You can keep your template, but they give good advice on how to formulate descriptions of your experience. Also, I would emphasize your mutual fund experience and have that description be longer, instead of more or less evenly distributing resume real estate.
Thank you for your feedback. I definitely know I could have done better on formulating the descriptions of my experience. Well, regarding your 2nd comment on using projects, I haven't done many of those since my role focuses on client services. Should I use a valuation project i did in college instead?
