couple quick things
I'd put education first (normal for ug) Round gpa to 3.13/4.00 First work experience i think i'd still put in past tense (by the time ft recruiting comes around it will be in the past anyways)
I would make your bullets squares instead of circles
It's pretty good. This is kind of nitpicky, but "more than twelve quotes in two days" is kind of odd. If it were more than a hundred, it sounds impressive, but more than twelve sounds like it's just trying to inflate "thirteen".
I would also prefer "first of 15" rather than "1st out of 15", and seconded on the GPA round and education at the top mentioned by mr.b.
It looks like a good resume, good luck!
Hey guys,
I really appreciate the feedback!
@mr.b - I have an internship lined up for the fall term. In the case that I'm applying to FT positions while being in that role, should I have the bullet points in past tense like you said before? Also, I put work experience first because my GPA is really sub-par, but I guess I'm not fooling anybody, lol. Nobody to blame but myself.
@ThePsychology - Really? Is that the norm? I've just never seen that before.
@Wellington - Thanks for pointing the 'quotes' thing. I know it sounds weird, and I was hesitant to put that statistic. It was honestly just an excuse to include a stat or numbers on my resume since I've read that recruiters like numbers and achievement more.
I'll make the corrections though. Thank you guys for the insight!
Yes, keep all bullets in past tense, even if you're starting out in a new internship.
Square bullets are more bold and seen as more professional and powerful. The BIWS and WSO resume templates also use square bullets if I'm not mistaken.
Trust me when I say it's a good change. At my bank, we don't ever use "round" bullets in anything - pitchbooks, CIMs, MPs and every possible document all use square bullets.
Hey, thanks guys! I'll make sure the changes get made.
remember on your bullets to show your results. "___ ____ ____ which resulted in..."
Thanks FutureWaller. I'll include more of those.
Be sure to upload the updated version.
We want to help as much as possible and get your resume to peak form.
All right, guys!
I've attached the updated resume with the changes that you all suggested for those of you who are still around. I'll put more figures into the bullet points under work experience once I start getting better results for my internship projects.
Again, thanks for y'all's help!
RESULTS!!!!
I meant to say "I'll put more results..." I'll get them in the there somehow, Future!
