Formatting made my eyes bleed. Not a good look if you are going for banking.
This looks horrible. Speaking for myself, I'm happy to help on here but you should at least make an effort at proofreading before uploading.
Thank you for the advice. I have reedited the resume and made some changes. Would you mind take a look at it again and give me some further advices? Thanks in advance
Here's just some of the things I noticed. I can't really speak about the actual content so just some formatting/grammatical stuff I would take care of first:
1) Have your city/dates line up to the end of the line. 2) Extra comma after Philadelphia, put a space after 2013 right below that before the dash. 3) Relevant coursework? 4) I feel like there should be more numbers, like actual "action" descriptors instead of passive stuff like "Analyze companies to determine acquisition opportunities." How many did you analyze, or how did you do so? 5) I'm a fan of the oxford comma. 6) Any languages you know? 7) Your Lincoln Financial section has 2 sentences that say the same thing. 8) ABC University fund's description has a random period in the middle of the sentence (end of 2nd line). 9) "soaring of the auto industry" just doesn't sound that great to me.
