Please Critique my HARVARD resume.

http://www.razume.com/documents/2070

I've worked for 5 years as a chef and would like to enter investment banking now. I believe the skills I've acquired as a chef can be transferrable to banking such as:

  1. paying attention to detail: adding 4 grams of ginger makes a huge different as comapred to 5 grams.
  2. doing grunt work: Countless hours of cutting up vegetables for the head chef (in the beginning of my career)
  3. staying up all night: I've had to fly to LA to serve a high-profile client, then travel back to NYC to server japanese sashimi to a MD working at Centerview.

Please help me out with ym resume? Critique it please!

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
