Formatting - Bullets are outside the margin & it looks very strange - There should be a space between each company/school - The dates are outside the margin, dates should be under the title line
Content - GPA is ok & ACT is not very high. I would remove ACT because it's more apart of your high school & not college. Improve GPA. - You should have your expected graduation date for Lake Forest College not the range of dates Northwestern Mutual - Are you an intern? Your title appears to be a FT employee & your bullets look like you are an intern - All your bullets for NM are not descriptive of what you did or what kind of employee you are - Can you show me proof that you were a top ten (why would you list this?) intern? Can you show me proof that you were top 5 in production? An interviewer would rip you apart for listing these type of things. Vector MKT -Not really finance related, improve bullets to reveal skill in sales Monsanto - You had to do a little work.. So what. This is really something you should not list. Understand what a bullet point is and replicate that.
SKILLS - You better be able to conduct the interview in Spanish, otherwise take it off - You shouldn't have a story on your resume, don't try to convince the reader why you should get a job! - The only appropriate part of your interests is: Athletics. Not your entire childhood record of your athletic acheivements.
1) You need major improvement in formatting 2) The purpose of your Resume is to secure an interview. Your resume is your interview. Don't try to convince the reader why you should be interviewed with all these stories 3) I strongly suggest improving your content, prose, tense, & formatting.
Thanks for your help. I was told to put the Monsanto thing on there by a recruiter because it shows hard work. You don't think its worth it?
If you want to list the position that's fine, list what you did, in the past tense. Your resume shouldn't be a conversation, don't say "I worked 12-14 hours a day in the hot sun and even though its not related to banking it shows hard work". Avoid pronouns.
ok thanks a lot. Appreciate the help
