Resume Critique - Looking for analyst work
Hello,
I'm looking for analyst work at a REIT/real estate or healthcare focused hedge fund. I'm 4 years out of undergrad from a non target state school, and have brief IB internship experience, but I'm hoping my more extensive experience in other areas is relevant enough to my goals.
Any input is appreciated.

Even though you made it look really nice, I think that the 1-page rule still applies. If Wharton MBA's can stick to one page, I'm pretty sure you can too. I think that 2 pages implies loads (read: VP-level) experience). Just saying, because I know someone else will.
I agree that this needs to be cut down to fit on one page.
Some Suggestions: 'Operations Manager' and 'Project Coordinator' - you aren't elaborating on these positions and they weren't very recent jobs so they don't add much 'Finance Training Program' is this just the training program you had for your internship? Even if it's something different, it doesn't really add much BIWS training doesn't warrant anywhere near 5 lines since your IB internship shows practical applications of the same skills (same comment for the 'Finance Training Program') Consider dropping 'relevant coursework' 'Additional Qualifications' and 'Personal' don't really warrant separate sections Cut out things that don't really set you apart (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) Don't need to list 'References available upon request'
Format Notes: Your 2nd and 3rd level bullet points on page 1 don't seem like they're indented as much as they should be, looks awkward to me Why is there a period after each course rather than a comma? The comma at the end of your list for 'Affiliations' should be a period
Dude don't list languages you're only a beginner in...what's the point??
Thanks for the comments so far, much appreciated.
I agree with what's been said so far, and some of the content/formatting in question was suggested by people smarter than me. That being said, I thought some of it seemed a bit weird.
As for the beginner languages thing, I added it in hopes of just demonstrating some personal interests and making myself seem less 1 dimensional, not that I'm pitching my language skills or anything like that. But if that isn't immediately apparent then I should probably cut it.
