Formatting isn't great. You have a ton of content to work with, you need to MILK it for all it's worth. Fill up the page. Widen your margins. Interests and skills sections shouldn't be so short. If you can't get at least one line out of something then it shouldn't be on your CV
Talk more about your results and accomplishments (saved the company $xx by yy) instead of listing your responsibilities. Quantify your results as much as possible. And agree with above.
What if I do not have relevant data to quantify my bullets? Specifically, for everything I did at Citi the projects were still underway/just about to wrap up once I left, so I have no idea of knowing how much money I saved the firm. I tried to be as results oriented as possible without taking too many journalistic liberties.
You could even write collaborate with # analysts on XXX team to do xyz. The point is to visualize the effort and results
Also... MAKE YOUR NAME STAND OUT BY CAPITALIZING THE HELL OUT OF IT. Like size 22 font or greater.
I think I might be reading a new draft? Based on the comments above. Anyway it looks really strong.
cut ACT score Citibank internship seems exaggerated. I would expect to be pushed on it during interviews. If you did this well, I would think you could get a SA position in their IBD. You also may get asked whether you are thinking of law school, the answer to which is "no" btw. Your resume lines up a lot more with trading than banking btw. Expect questions about why not ER or why not a HF etc.
You are very strong for a first round, focus on interview prep and networking. Try to get your contacts to do a mock interview w/ you.
I appreciate the feedback. I think I may have botched a previous interview, because when I was asked if I was considering Law School I responded with, "I want to work for two years and then re-evaluate my prospects and potentially consider Law School."
Also, your conclusion that my resume lines up more with trading than banking is something that I have been struggling to overcome. I dont want to do trading, but everyone has told me it would be easier to get an internship in trading.
P.S. The current resume attached is the original resume that was uploaded. Interesting how different people can have very different views.
Thank you again for the feedback.
Take off the word, excel and PowerPoint skills....to me it's assumed any decent college person would have experience using those. Maybe state somewhere if you used a program for a specialized project (i.e used exel to create model from scratch for xyz project...) bear in mind I'm not in ibanking but I've
but I've been out of college for a while now and remember rhst feedback when I was interviewing around
