Recently Graduated from a Non-Target University and need some advice from fellow professionals!

Hey everyone,

I recently graduated in May finally obtaining my degree from a non-target school in New York. Well, I realized how bad the school's career center is and how bad the reputation of the finance division is.

Ultimate goal is to go back to school and obtain a graduate degree in financial engineering or statistics. In the meantime I want to break into corporate finance, strategy or equity/fixed income research. On a side note I've even considered an actuarial position given the nature of the work is similar.

Is there any way I can tailor my resume even further? When reading my resume, what would be your impression of me? What story does my resume convey?

Any advice would be great!
