Resume - Masters in finance
So I'd give my resume a 4/10 for recent graduates who want to get in to graduate school for a master's in finance, then on to IB, ER, or corporate finance. I'm looking for a few simple ways to boost it up a half point or so.
How many of you guys think having an "activities" or "interests" section on your resume helps? How many think it hurts/doesn't matter?
If my dad let me manage an E*trade brokerage account with his money while in school, should I list that on my resume?
As always, any feedback is helpful.
Yeah if you have something to prove, then go for it. Obviously, word it in a better fashion, state your returns and be ready to talk about how you effectively managed it.
Interests are fine as long as you actually have some unique interests. Putting down the typical "reading, running, golf, etc." will make you look pretty damn boring.
Activities and interests shows off your personality, which sets you apart from the rest.
Managing your personal (or father's) brokerage account is definitely something you can spin into work experience especially if you had good returns or used different strategies e.g. technical or fundamental analysis. Also, be able to speak intelligently about managing the account.
