From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”
Overall layout looks fine but I'm confused why some of the entries in your resume are under certain categories.
I think "Aggie Investment Club - Member" should be under Activities (unless it was actually a job you got paid for). I'm not sure what the Trading Risk and Investment Program is but I wouldn't list future "three internships on reputable trade floors" - not until you've already done them.
I'd also add a skills line in the last section - with languages, software skills, etc.
Agree with Richard Parker on all comments.
Also, in addition, your dates are not uniform - if you are going to list them as Fall 20XX, then do it for all experiences/education sections without using 2011 - 2012. Personally, I would suggest using months and year (Jan/January 2012 - Sept/September 2012)...if abbreviated, then apply it to all dates and vice-versa.
Thank you for the responses. The reason I changed the investment club item to a work/technical experience was because I saw something to that nature in the M&I website video. I do, however, agree that it would look better under the activities section.
TRIP is a program I applied for and was accepted into within the finance department of my school. http://mays.tamu.edu/trip/ There are currently ~18 students in my program class (Is there's a way to show that it is a very selective program since so few people have heard of it?) It includes a board of directors from well known energy and security firms (Exon, Texas Teachers Retirement System ($118 Bln pension fund for retired teachers in Texas that I will be interning at this summer), GDF Suez, Trafigura, Q-Investments, BP, ect.)
As far as a skills section goes, I'm currently lacking in that area. I have a good understanding of Microsoft office suite, email, ect., but I do not have any sort of special programming know-how. I am also proficient in English....obviously. I just don't think that any of these items carry enough weight to be "resume worthy".
Any other suggestions?
In that case, I'd move the TRIP program under work experience but like crayb said, change the dates to match the others - consistency is one of the more important characteristics of a good resume. I agree with crayb, I'd use month, year.
If you really want to highlight the selectivity of the program, I guess you could add a bullet point to say "one of eighteen BBA students admitted to TRIP program, with a curriculum centered around...(whatever you currently have on there)." I'm sure you can add some more details about it after your first internship this summer.
Too much white space. Add more detail.
Also, don't indent your headers over so much. Leaves a lot of the page awkwardly open.
Take of "walk on" pitcher. Just put "pitcher"
I made a few adjustments and uploaded my current version. I haven't had a chance to add more details to get rid of some of the white space. Thanks for all of your suggestions.
Add GPA
I go to A&M too!! Finc major as well :)
