Taking a quick look:
You need to re-format your resume - Follow this link to see the proper format
Get rid of the summary
if your professional experience is quality, it should be above your education - you graduated 4 years ago
Get some extra info in the bottom section - Languages, computer skills, technical skills, hobbies, interests, volunteer work - something to add a bit of character
Most importantly, your bullets need to be redone - some of this comes from formatting, but a lot of it comes from context. Right now there are a ton of words on a paper, but it isn't telling me anything - most of your bullet points are empty - I don't see any results or impact for any of your responsibilities or projects, and I don't even see a lot of substance for your projects - you've got a lot of experience, but none of it looks impressive based on its current presentation.
PM me if you have other questions or need help.
agree with above...big time reformat needed.
indicate level of CFA involvement (level I candidate, etc)
Thank you for the feedback. I've re-formatted the resume and have posted it here. Please let me know what you think. Thanks.
