From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
i was under the impression any firm after the top 7 are not national but regional in nature. But I could be wrong.
Audit to banking'll be a tough one for ya. especially from a firm ranked 8 to 10. good luck to ya.
Appreciate it. It wont be a cake walk, but if anything, im dedicated and resilient. And it's all about networking.
I think your resume highlights your fraternity and school stuff still (over half the page) rather than your current position. also your layout in general is confusing, If i have to work to find your gpa that isnt good
Thanks- ill work on the layout.
as far as the work experience is concerned, are you suggesting that i include more auditing related points? even tho (as i see them) they dont translate to banking?
if im looking at a resume i could care less what youve done in college other than gpa if youve graduated but thats more of a personal thing. I want to know what youve been doing since. Maybe highlight some of those previous positions with 2 bullet points on what you did there. I think your leadership positions were good but it takes half your resume and youve been out of school for 2 years. When someone looks at your resume they want to know what youve been doing for the past 2 years and if you have been doing things to benefit your resume and make you a strong candidate for the position.
i would actually just get rid of the other activities and interests section and use that space to increase the professional experience section. Also this may be picky but i would change it from collegiate experience to education or educational experience and reformat and put that near the top. Its going to be very difficult with a 3.3 and an accounting degree but if you network you definitely have a chance
thanks again for the tips. I'd SB if i could.
Once I've made the changes ill re-upload (most likely tm night), and if you could take a quick look again, id greatly appreciate it.
i know i face an uphill battle, but that wont deter me. for someone with my background, there's only one way in, and that is, as you said, via networking. thankfully, I legitimately enjoy talking to other people about what they do, what makes them tick, and their interests outside of work. that should make the networking process at least a little easier for me.
after that, i imagine its just about talking to enough of the right people and eventually someone will go to bat for me.
Yeah, by adding some extra ordinary things in your resume makes more impression.
Still working on this. Will post update when finished.
