No resume attached
Sorry there should be one now
May want to post a version sans personal info. Just for your own sake
Oh god, where to begin.
Please no "career focuses" or "summary of skills". Skills can go at the bottom IF they are technical skills (like Microsoft Office or Bloomberg), but none of that "attention to detail" and "hard worker" crap. Take it off!
High school details not necessary. Especially not with a 3.2.
The dots need to go. Use tabs if you must, or (gasp) tables.
Bullet points need to be much more 1) results-oriented, 2) quantifiable, and 3) applicable to the "working world". For example, as a strength/conditioning coach, where you responsible for any sort of recruitment/business development? Did you run any analyses on your workout programs to test their effectiveness? etc.
No references! Not necessary! HR will ask when they want it! Should not go on resume!
You Really Like to Capitalize, Don't You? For example: "Captain of High School Baseball Team"... unless "High School Baseball Team" was the proper noun and official name of your baseball team, it doesn't get capitalized.
You got a lot of work to do. Have you considered the WSO Resume Review? They can completely scrub this thing until it's clean.
Out of curiosity, what's the story behind you attending 3 different colleges? And why finance?
And as others have said, don't put your personal info on the net :(
Thank you for the advice. I agree it is in need of a lot of work. I attended three different colleges due to baseball oriented goals, having nothing to do with academics. Im getting a degree in finance because I want to become a financial advisor or analyst.
