it's an improvement since last time, but i personally think you took too much out with respect to the fishing experience. It's basically the only thing that sets you apart, since most business students did all of the things you list as related coursework over half a page.

Good luck

i wouldnt bold your major GPA, I'd just list it first.

So have:

Major GPA: 3.9, Cumulative GPA: 3.6

Also, having the test scores in a box is a bit odd. they are good scores but your eyes get drawn to them since they are blocked off. Might be better just to list them across in 1 line / bullet point with percentiles in parenthesis.

your bulltes seem weird / inconsistent. filled in bullets above, and then hollow bullets below...different indenting , sub bullets, etc.

center your name on the top

Related coursework section is way too long and crunched (shorten it)

that is all for now.

Work Experiance? (sp.)

Also, the fishing thing is what you make it. You made it a space filler. Make it add value, make it sound impressive. Did you manage a 2-ton fishing boat in sub-arctic temperatures?

ie. I knew a kid who interned internationally at a manufacturing company. The machines the factory used were rated on the pressure they created, so when you say 350-ton machine, the machine actually weighed say 7-tons not 350-tons.

  • Organized execution plan to transport a 350-ton injection molding machine with a 8-ton fork lift

Obviously not relevant to Wall St, but you get the drift.

Agree with the box around test scores.

GPA... here's a trick... align them to the right margin, with Cum GPA on one line and Major GPA on another, don't bold either. Put Major GPA first, and overall GPA second. When glazing over a resume, the 3.9 will be noticed since its first.

 

Does your school have a career services that can help with your resume? I went to mine with a (i thought) perfect resume, and I came out with magic. Ive yet to see one structured more efficiently (the content is something else lol).

 

Thanks for the tips,

What can I change about the fishing experience to make it stand out. Since I've been on the boat we have caught about 1.4 million lbs of fish and the work days are 18 hours long and in some cases I've been up for 36 hours working. Are these things I should put in there?

Also, I still don't have any real financial experience because I was in Alaska every summer paying for school, I don't really have anything else to put in here.

...and yea, this is what I got from my schools career services, there kinda worthless, the only job they found me was at a meat packing plant

 

Unless you're using a microscopic font size, I can't see how you'd fit all of that on one page in word (with the same formatting displayed above).
