Similar to the above, I can't even really dig into it until I can read it.

  1. Get rid of the summary. Do not replace it with an objective either. They are all terrible.

  2. Fix all of your spacing and alignment. The lines don't match up with the words, the bullets are outside of the lines and aren't indented, etc.

  3. Technical skills section is unnecessary too. Your accomplishments and experiences imply competence with certain tools and skills.

  4. Basic grammar and spelling check is a must. You wrote "TECHNIAL" in all caps, for instance.

Just some thoughts: 1) Remove summary 2) put job titles under company names 3) I think having bullets within the company looks better instead of the bullets lining up with your section header as you have it, but that's just me 4) Since you're in school, why not put your education at the top and jut name it education? 5) I don't believe in putting level 1 candidacy because you didn't accomplish anything, you only paid for the exam which anyone can do. You can mention that you're studying for the exam in your cover letter/at the interview. 6) For the college time just put when you'll get your degree like Expected May 2015, but that's just me. 7) remove your high school

Hope this helps.

 
  1. as everyone has mentioned, remove the executive summary
  2. put education first
  3. remove high school, linkedin, 50 wpm, mac/windows
  4. don't use a gmail account, better to use your .edu from uni (if given)
  5. change 10/2013 numbers to October 2013
  6. job title under workplace, might want to italicize the title as well
  7. too much bolding imo. should probably only be bolding the headings, firm/experience, and school/institution
 

Just follow the M&I format.

Also, I'm confused on how your online university would be better then your state school.

Like the others said

1) Get rid of the exec summary 2) Education on top 3) I personally would get rid of your Linkedin 4) Get rid of that level 1 candidate nonsense (it doesn't mean anything)! 5) I would put some of your finance experience (such as the prop trading firm) higher up 6) Wouldn't put Microsoft Office, and things like Morningstar on your technical skills

Hope I helped!
