Eliminate the Competitive Diversity Program section and make sure to fill up that space with your experience this summer at the BB. The verbs you use in this section are fairly weak (selected, complete, participate) and don't show you doing anything substantial. Also, I don't know how selective the program is because you didn't put how many applicants there were. Under the Technical Skills section make the wording stronger than "Experience with" unless you are rather unfamiliar with one of those platforms. Lastly, eliminate the Interests section unless you have something profound/interesting to say on each of those interests. Otherwise you will look pretty mickey mouse in an interview. Other than those things, looks solid and hope your SA position is going well!

 

I thought it would attract attention to my resume and help me get picked, but I guess I was wrong. I will take that out. But in terms of getting a SA position do you think I will get interviews?

 

If you were at a target, that resume would be about average.

If you want interviews, obviously networking should be your priority. At least you have good grades and experience on your side.

 

Don't take off the "Competitive Diversity Program" thing. I'm assuming that's SEO/MLT? Either way, I wouldn't. I heard even non-partner firms consider applicants highly who are in these programs.

Format-wise:

Obviously on your actual resume make sure dates and locations are aligned. Be consistent with the placement of your slashes for your two GPAs - I'd add a space on either side of the / under your major GPA BC that's how it is on the rest of your resume. Loan-level has no space after the dash while collateral-level does. Eliminate that space. Capitalize Group in Fortress Investment Group. Finance dept's responsibilities should be possessive too. Probably would capitalize VP in VP of Global Finance.

 

Blanditiis aut illo corrupti ipsam itaque quae. Nihil qui officia sed illo ad. Eaque pariatur ratione iure expedita. Quis adipisci exercitationem qui officiis pariatur rem. A rerum autem vero id eum velit veniam.
