Preparing to Start Full-Time Recruitment for Corporate/Commercial Banking, Rip my Resume Apart.

Hey all, I'm a rising senior at Michigan State and have been preparing myself to begin the full-time recruitment process later this summer. I intend to mostly be looking for opportunities in corporate and commercial banking, as those are the areas related to my internship experience and interest me personally.

I applied for over 200 positions last year but didn't have much luck. I made it to a superday with Wells for corporate banking and had a few first rounds at some other firms, but I wasn't able to secure anything until my school held its finance career fair in the fall. While I am happy with the internship I ended up accepting, I'm hoping to avoid ending up in the same predicament I did last year this recruiting cycle.

I am aware that my non-target status is a disadvantage, however my academic stats/ECs are good and my internship experience isn't terrible either. Any feedback on how I could potentially improve my resume or any career related feedback in general would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Porro ullam dolorum non. Est aut qui magni earum blanditiis officia maxime. Vel aliquid excepturi at sapiente.

Eaque exercitationem autem corrupti et necessitatibus sed ex. Voluptatem veritatis nulla id debitis porro quidem vero quidem.
