Please help critique this resume - BE HARSH! thank you VERY much!

Hi,

I graduated in 2006 and have been working for the same company (custodian) since. My GPA was below 3.0 (one of the reasons I couldn't find anything better). I recently took CFA lvl 1 and am hoping that passing lvl 1 will give me a better shot at getting calls back for interviews.

As for the resume, I have some questions:

What do you guys think of leaving out the "objective" for an experienced hire position?

Should I even bother to break up the different jobs that I held while working at my current company?

Based on my resume, what are the odds of me getting an entry AM job?

Please provide any feedback! I'm ready to learn and take on the challenge. Thank you.

This is getting ridiculous. This site must be like 50% asian at this point.

On a more serious note, never have an objective statement. They don't add anything, take up valuable space, make babies cry, are carcinogenic and give young stallions erectile disfunction.

I'm not at all familiar with AM so I have no idea about the rest of your resume or your chances. Best of luck

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.
