Resume Review - Banking to HF Jump

Trying to get out of banking into the hedge fund world, specifically a Global Macro or credit fund. Still in the process of tweaking it but thought I would throw it up here to get everyone's opinion. Let me know how to best improve my resume.

Trying to get out of banking into the hedge fund world, specifically a Global Macro or credit fund. Still in the process of tweaking it but thought I would throw it up here to get everyone's opinion. Let me know how to best improve my resume.

I would try shortening it a bit. Too many bullets. I don't think you need 4 separate bullets at the top - most people already have a good idea of what you do as an analyst and likely skip over this part. For the "Transaction Experience" section, I would capitalize the first letter of each transaction description ("Sale of $3.0B AUM Commodity Hedge Fund"). Also, the formatting for your transaction experience section looks weird to me. I would also drop "AACSB Accreditation". Good resume overall though.

 

Great content, very long though. Hard to read that much info...

Yeah, very solid resume. But I agree with the others - it's just too long. If I were going to edit it down, I'd get rid of 2 of your 5 transactions (I mean, 3 is enough - they'll get the idea), the "coursework" section of your academics (just because I feel like that's what wanna-be summer interns put on their resume when they have nothing else to show), the technical skills section (you can use Bloomberg and Microsoft Office? slow clap). I would also relabel the final section to "Other Interests", the current title is too long.

Very nice though!

Good advice.

 

I don't have a job yet but I've spend way too many hours looking over resumes. You have too much content. Pick the top 2,3 deals. Any more and you're distracting away from your best work.

Just showcase the best..
