First, not a fan of the font... not sure why, just don't like it but thats personal preference.
Education should definitely be on the top... I looked at it quickly and said "where is the GPA" only to find it in the middle of the page. Everything else looks pretty decent. I think you could probably reduce the font size and elaborate a bit more about your experience, maybe something more about the investment club and your role there? Also, I am never a huge fan of the "interests" section, but that's just me.
You do realize you are pretty late in the game for full time recruiting at most firms correct?
Thank you for your feedback.
I was told to move education down because it's not whats going to get me the job. Going to a state school with a mediocre GPA will just get me dinged, so I wanted them to spend their 20 seconds looking at my relevant work experience.
I do understand I am late in the game, I am doing heavy networking to try to break in late. I am mainly going for a research or asset management position. Ibanking is more of a career goal that I plan to transition into after biz school.
Keep the comments coming!
Non-Target with a 3.3 will be hard...more important than the resume would be networking. But on the resume..
Education at top (nvm I was editing while you were replying)
Is your major GPA good? 3.3 is not very competitive from a non-target. I would put your major gpa in bold if it is good before your overall (on the same line)
The font seems a bit large for me. Times New Roman 12 or less is awesome IMHO
Any quantified stats you can put on it?
Some of the descriptions sound like you just copied from the job ad- "Initiate and manage entire brand..."
