Please Review My Resume - Looking into corporate finance, investment banking, and consulting
http://www.razume.com/documents/12758
Hey everyone, I'm new to this site and wondering if anyone would be willing to look at my resume. I'm looking into corporate finance, investment banking, and consulting.
From a consulting standpoint, this is too "transactional" of a resume. You talk about the physical stuff that you did -- prepare powerpoints, doing research, etc., but they won't really care. Consulting recruiters care about IMPACT. You want to show initiative as well as leadership.
Your bullets should all include, if not lead with, a statement of impact, such as generating revenue for a client, or some other tangible, measurable thing that you did. (Similar to what you have in your ECs about improving your team's record to 11/6).
That's my 2 cents for consulting -- don't know about finance/banking. I'd imagine you'll need separate resumes for each.
Taking a quick glance,
Additionally, you need some bullet points in there for your points, text distinguishing features and so forth so that it doesn't all look like a big run-on thought. Finally, I'm sure you just cut this out, instead of simply blacking it out, but you need your name and contact info in that resume.
I'm sorry to be harsh (and I am not in any way trying to insult you), but bottom line, you've got some solid content and decent experience, but right now, no one will know that, no one will really be able to effectively make their way through your resume, and those that do, won't see much quality there because you haven't really sold the majority of your experiences and projects well. I'd recommend a resume revision - whether from me or someone else is your call, but I would definitely recommend you get one to be able to take advantage of your experiences. Good luck and if you have any further questions, shoot me an email or PM me.
