lol who cares about technical skills ? fill that blank.

Listing your tasks is allright, but won't get anyone's attention. Always try and have each line to be meaningful and have IMPACT.

Bullshit if you want... but not too much.

Like : Transferred accounting system to a computerized one, saving the family business 7 hours per week, enabling to concentrate on core issues.

I made that up, so don't copy that. It also doesn't sound very good... but you get the point.

 

Probably need to be a little more specific on a lot of your line items. Some of those things (Name, Locations, etc..) could easily apply to anyone.

 
jbert112Correct me if I'm wrong but couldn't you just put the University and graduation year? Skipping the comm college might be a good idea.

Pretty good GPA and double major / CFA level 1 is pretty impressive I'd say

Ditto.

- Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. - The harder you work, the luckier you become. - I believe in the "Golden Rule": the man with the gold rules.
 
blastoiseso you have fucking knowledge in c++ and java as a finance and accting grad yea .....right

That's what happens when you take 3 years of computer science, 2 years of "Oracle", 2 years of "Cisco" and a year of A+ in high school.

jbert112Skipping the comm college might be a good idea.
Why? I saved like 9k by going to comm coll for a year for the same education. Isn't this just spinnable as cost saving for the same product?
 

Def get community college off there. Ditto on CFA L1 being the most impressive thing on your resume. Get the sense you are a hard worker. Did you take it recently? Mention a date IF you are actively pursuing level 2 and haven't failed it yet.
