I think you should specify from when until when you worked at company XYZ.
I would definitely try to keep it to two (less than two) lines per bullet point. If you really can't fit it, just make a new bullet point so it comes of as less wordy.
I would leave out a few things such as "started as early as 2 a.m." I don't think anyone cares when you got up.
I think you are also kind of missing the languages/skills/interest/etc section. Check out M&I's template.
fair enough for the dates. reason why the bullet points are longer is because iv heard from people that for consulting the bullets need to be action-results orientated... seems tough to get it all on one line, but im not too sure how much stock i should put into that.
for the language/skills/interest, for languages its only english, and skills/interest are somewhat sprinkled within the resume (public speaking, volunteer work, word, powerpoint, execl, playing sports...). would it come across as too redundant or am i confused as to what those sections actually require?
I suggest removing the "Summer 2013" from each role and leaving it only in the title. Also, don't bold individual terms or companies within the descriptions (e.g. THE FIRM, PROVINCIAL etc.).
Aside from that, excellent resume. If your interviewing skills don't suck, you should have no problem getting a solid consulting gig. One of the better resumes I've seen here on WSO.
thanks man! as for the bold/caps for those terms, that was only me trying to keep things confidential, the real document does not have any of that. do u have an opinion for the languages/skills/interest point that kinghongkong made above?
bump
Excellent resume. I concur with removing the redundant "summer 2013"s. I am not sure that skills/interests is required in this particular case, as they seem to be very smoothly incorporated everywhere else. Really nothing else to suggest.
Good luck
Great resume, same advice as above.
Btw - Which font are you using?
Minion Pro i believe
any comments with regards to how it would hold up in the recruiting process for MBB and other consulting firms??
Do you have a strong network? If so, you'll probably be fine. If not, then it might be a lot harder just because you don't have any "real" consulting experience.
yea i hear yah. iv been trying to do as much as i can over the summer. id say iv connected with about 2-3 analysts/associates in most of the major firms. not sure how much that will help, but i agree that big4 experience isn't ideal. i tried to make the bullet points as consulting-like as possible, hopefully it all works out!
Do you have the updated resume? It's not attached to your post.
