Recent Grad Resume targeting Canadian Boutique Shops
I just graduated from a non-target Canadian University (Simon Fraser). An overall 3.5/4.0 GPA, self-paced study on financial modeling, and currently a full-time job at a local foreign bank (A global bank with growing business in the Canadian market). I am looking for an entry level IB analyst job at a remote boutique shop, probably in Calgary or somewhere else. Any inputs, suggestions or critiques are appreciated. BE HARSH PLEASE. Thank you!
A global bank with growing business in the Canadian Market. HSBC ?
what is your job function at your current bank?
My current job function is quite vague. I was recruited as a financial service representative to offer general banking services to individual customers while I was also appoint to work on the marketing of Chinese student because of my student club leadership. However, since the commercial banking business contributes the most part of its profit, I was also required to work in a team of four to develop commercial business opportunities, primarily commercial loan or commercial deposits.
You misspelled amateur for golf. Just drop amateur as well. Also- you don't have to specify the mountains. Just leave it at "snowboarding". You also left a period in your first bullet point for your work experience, so change that to reflect it as one consistent format. (IE- none of your other sentences end in periods, so do the same for this).
That being said, split up your work and leadership experience. Don't have it under an all branching heading. Also- change your bullet points around for your work experience. Try to add more points to your due diligence area and what type of analysis you undertook.
Also - did you have any classes at school that allowed you to showcase your VBA and Matlab abilities? I realize that may not be pertinent to I-banking but it doesn't hurt to show that you can construct some fairly complex models.
Thanks for your inputs. I made some revision based on your instruction.
VBA and Matlab related training at SFU probably only available through Master education. I took several introductory online training from Mathworks in addition to the BIWS courses. I also bought several books on these topics for continuing study. These skills probably are more relevant to financial engineering but I might apply for MFE in the near future.
I also outlined the BIWS training courses. Does this really helps in my resume? and what you mean by "change the bullet point around"? Reorganize the sequence?
Peter I would post pdf's instead of word documents, all of your blacked out info is visible.
Harsh? You're a stereotypical Asian with an average GPA from a complete nontarget and you work as a bank teller..would say almost no chance at any of the legit (or half legit, even) boutiques in Toronto. Start working on your Queens/Ivey/Rotman MBA apps.
Also, dude, change the fucking file name orsomething because I still see your name at the top of my internet window.
