looks like a decent resume, but

1) also looks like you probably worked only few weeks in summer instead of real internship - otherwise put dem dates on the resume 2) first SA internship, although it "SA" looks like doing nothing; 400% efficiency increase? did you measure it?

i am wondering why are you doing MSc? i understand that you are at non target, but i dont see it as a huge prob.. internships at unknown boutiques?

1) Change dates, okay 2) Was a freshman- and output regarding that task increased 4x so i threw the 400% number out there

Doing MSF for better options, more focused coursework. Both firms were on the smaller side.

I'm still at the most recent (Summer 2013) firm.. I just needed a resume for something so I put the highlights of what I've done for the last month or so

Don't want to be a lil bitch but a 4x increase is a 300% increase not 400%...

fair enough i mean, your resume looks ok as it is, and it is very relevant to the IB industry so good job overall

be prepared to talk about that 400% increase and make sure that it is not some silly improvement number catches attention, you might get asked about it

good luck

Thank you.

I automated a data gathering process that was previously very time consuming and monotonous. The "400%" number was just something to throw around. In actuality, the process is probably more than 5x easier now
