"Assist with several other tasks," but you only provide one example. Of course you assisted with other things. Either name them or leave that bullet out.

There's too much white space and hardly anything that speaks about you personally. Make it more personal and deep. You're a year away from graduating -- surely there's something noteworthy you've done with your life other than your internship?

Also make your titles more differentiated from your copy text. I had a hard time even finding work experience.

 

Bro...list some of the finance related subjects you did for your undergrad e.g. Financial accounting, corporate finance, etc...

also some finance related skills you might have learnt e.g. I am able to valuate a company by analysing x,x and x

Do you trade equities or anything? if so, list that. also mention that you are an active participant of this forum?

you get what i'm saying though? 'Financialise' your resume! Keep it to one page and then post again!
