Resume Review for 1st year big 4 looking to switch to banking

Hello all,

Long time reader, 1st time poster...

I have been working in big 4 audit for 1/2 year, and am looking to start sending my resume to a few contacts I have in banking. Would you mind reviewing please? It's 2 pages on razume, and formatting is off, but it is fine in word/pdf.

http://www.razume.com/documents/19432

I tried to tailor it to banking as much as I could (I'm looking to get into M&A/Lev Finance). Also, I would assume I would be applying for a 1st year analyst position?

Interviews - do I need to spend time worrying about brain teasers, or can I continue focusing on fit/accounting/finance questions?

Thanks in advance for the help. I realize this isn't the perfect "experienced" hire resume, with the majority of activity on there occuring in college, but as a recent grad (from masters program), I figured education/college activities were still relevant.

Thanks for the response. It is 2 pages on Razume (so interests are on 2nd page), and bullet point is messed up for some reason, but fine on my computer w/ microsoft word (only 1 page). I'm looking for more of a content critique. Thanks!

 

I think the Not for Profit and Fraternity should be listed under Activities -- or someplace else. They are more extracurricular. Personally, I wouldn't lump it with my professional experiences.

 

TA job should say "evaluated students' performance", not "student's performance." I almost feel like it should grammatically say students' performances, but that sounds really awkward to me for some reason.
