Please review my resume - TARGET
I am a rising senior interested in consulting, investment banking and sales and trading. I go to a target school and I transferred from a Top 30 school after my freshman year. I am currently working at a large defense contractor doing accounting and project finance. I realize this isn't ideal for getting into "high finance," but I figure I can leverage it during the interview and explain how it gives me a better understanding of what drives financials in large companies (specifically if I said I was interested in the Aerospace and Defense industry). Last summer I volunteered at a high school and took a class at my school.
I realize my experience is pretty varied (and not related to IB or trading), but if I show a genuine interest in finance and can clearly talk about topics I have read and learned about do I have a shot at some good firms?
I've been told by a good amount of people that the whole intangible skills is BS. It's better to actually show that on your resume through the things you've done and what you talk about in your interview.
Read M&I. You're resume has too much white, not enough black. Flush out your work experiences and extracurrics.
Needs much more specificity.
You say you analyzed cashflow and profitability. Why? Who did you report to? What were the implications? What did your analyses find? What did you do about it? How did your efforts help (even minutely) to increase top line or margins at your firm? What software packages did you use/master? hyperion? excel? something else?
Then repeat for all other experiences.
SB please *'-')
Considering Cries was spot on with critique, I really don't think that was shit-toss-worthy.
