Obliterate My Resume!!!
I am a third-year Statistics and Actuarial Science Student and would love to get critical advice on how I can fix my resume to make it better for finance roles like Investment Banking Internships. (Any advice on how to network and land such internships is also very appreciated!)
Thanks
People practicing for GMAT will all these different synonyms of destroy.
Obliteration as follows:
1. You need action verb, task, AND result. You only have action verbs and what you did. There are no metrics that quantify your value.
2. "What banker understands all this crap?" was something a senior banker told me after looking at my resume. As a former engineer, I had similar technical terms and machine learning projects like you did.
Replace all technicality (use them for STEM internships) and mention how you created value (reduced cost by x%, increased sales by y%, and things of that nature.)
3. Projects have too much details. Again, same as work ex. Eradicate this section for IB, only keep if it is quant-related role.
4. Add a section with extracurriculars. [School clubs, leadership positions, case competitions, etc.]
5. Have technical skills all in same line (and no one cares about what you can develop unless its a quant/software role).
6. Have a line for interests at the end. Something that shows you as not a robot.
Appreciate the feedback!! I will definitely add those changes.
