Resume Advice - Would like to get into a hedge fund

Any advice on my resume? I am also extremely receptive to any career advice you might give me. I've been travelling for a few months and it is time to find a job. Looking in Chicago, but I am not restricted to this city.

I would love to get into a hedge fund, but I think that is probably not too likely. Investment banking is also an interest, but again, I don't think it is very probable. Nothing wrong with PWM since work/life balance is pretty good, but I would like to get into a place that is more involved in the investment process and performance driven. Firm I worked at previously took a more qualitative / laid back investment approach. Thoughts? Thank you.

Traveling. I spent 2 weeks in Aspen hiking and mountain biking, 2 weeks on the beach in North Carolina with family, and then 3 months backpacking through Europe. Currently occupying my time studying for CFA level 1 and contacting alumni. One question I just thought of is, should I add to the second bullet point that my efforts resulted in capturing roughly 35 million in new assets?
