“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
A few thoughts:
-Get rid of technical skills section. The best case scenario is that they don't ask you many questions concerning excel and think that you've used the program before. The worst case scenario is that they drill you and you look dumb -I would get rid of some of the "working out" and "meeting new people" part of your interests and instead go into a little more detail about the others -I would be cautious of being super specific about SPR being the company you pitched. While I have no problem with you putting it on your resume, you might get drilled about it. I never put specific companies and only ever put the valuation methods I was familiar with (i.e. DCF, comps, DDM). They might ask you and drill you anyways, but it lowers the chances--and there will always be things you don't know about the company. Basically, don't be specific if you aren't confident. If you are confident be prepared. -I don't like how the M&I template doesn't separate WE and Leadership. I would consider creating separate sections--the WSO template does this. You can also just modify the M&I template to do it.
I just updated everything. What do you think now?
There is something about the line, "Worked with technologically disadvantaged individuals to increase their technological efficiency" that feels really awkward.
I believe it's because it's an unnecessary euphemism. It makes them sound like they can't afford technology. Also the phrase technological efficiency doesn't really evoke any strong imagery--I don't know what you're helping them with.
Well basically what I did was troubleshoot household electronics like printers, fax, surround sound, software issues, pc cleanup, taught people how to use things they bought, set up wireless networks, fixed wireless network issues and things alike. It was a part time thing I was doing on the side just to make some extra cash. People loved it and still are calling me now which is starting to bug me because I really don't have time for it anymore.
Looks a lot better, I appreciate you being responsive to advice. I feel like a lot of people just mindlessly defend what they have, which sort of defeats the point of posting here.
Anyways, further comments: -Intuitively, your second position is much more entrepreneurial and impressive then the third, and so should be longer. to that end, I would expand upon the business side of being a founder/ceo. How did much revenue (if over $1000 or so, it's impressive, at least to me, others may be able to provide better insight)? How did you expand the business? Contact new clients? -If you're not doing it anymore, I wouldn't put to present. As someone mentioned in the last thread that can demonstrate split focus, although I think your resume shows ambition and drive already -How were your undergrad test scores? Depending on where you're applying, they can be impressive/helpful -Do you have any certifications? That can help minorly and make the bottom of the resume less barren -Any awards? they can help too -Any major GPA? 3.6 isn't bad or anything, but a high major can help even more. I know you're young though
Also, I am unsure if I like the separation of leadership and the rest of my work experience. Do you really think it looks much better?
Concerning the WE/Leadership split: I think it looks a little odd, but without the separation, I think the resume gets a little confusing. You may be an exception since you have far more work experience than leadership. Remember, though, that I'm only one datapoint. I had many, many people offer advice. Often it was conflicting/nitpicky but with many people, you get an idea of what's generally preferred
Certifications: BIWS/WSP/FactSet (Dealmaven) offer certifications that I think help a lot. While some people say "everyone" does them they add seriousness to your resume. Also, I think the Bloomberg Certification is good for the amount of time it take (less than a day and it just adds a line)
edit: I understand you may not be able to afford those training programs which is fine. If you can I think they are worth the money, but if you can't you can't
One thing: where do you want to end up geographically/firm size wise? I am willing to talk regardless, but that will help me determine how helpful I can be.
Trying to go to chicago and I am interested in MM or BB basically I am going to shoot for both and whatever I think I fit better in that is what I will do. I am interested in exit ops also
