Resume Review for junior internship: consulting, IT systems, analytics
Hey Guys,
Thanks in advance for taking the time to review. Please be as harsh and critical as you can be so that I know how to improve my resume. Not sure if I did everything right, for its my first post here, but I have been a long-time reader.
Summary:
Top 20 School(campus recruitment resume drop-off this month)
Looking into Asset Management, risk managment, M&A, consulting, IT/Trading systems internships at Citi, Credit Suisse, Wells Fargo, Bank of America, etc
Not much finance experience, but some decent management, HR(more on the accounting side), data analysis positions
GPA not stellar, but major GPA is better
Activities: nothing major... Combination of tech and entrepreneurship
Thanks again.
Just my 2 cents but I would suggest putting your technical skills somewhere near the bottom of the page (work experience should really come right after the education section). Also, don't make a separate section for coursework. Instead, include it in the education section. The asterisk comment looks silly as well. I would remove it.
Take out "double major"
BA in Comp Sci? Just out of curiosity why not the BS?
List your SAT the standard way. CR/M/W.
I don't think you need a separate Related Coursework Heading, just put it in bold underneath your education.
There's an extra space after the - in Nov. 2011-Current.
Just a comment, you have November abbreviated as Nov. but the rest of your months you spell out or use four letters to abbreviate.
You use "Current" and "Present" interchangeably, pick one.
I'd phrase your start-up position as Spring Business Analyst.
Thanks for the help guys. I updated it.
@markhobbus I saw on a previous thread that mentioned making a note like that to list a future position. I listed it like that because a few of the resume drop deadlines are next week(Jan. 24-25) and I won't be starting that spring analyst position until Feb. 1st.
So, is it still not the right way to do that in my case?
@secfinance my school only gives out BA. Our only BS is for Neuroscience majors. Its one of those weird things...yet our cs program requires calc 3, adv. linear alg, diff eq.
I started the management position on Nov. 30, so should I list it as December?
There's only one CV. If you're interested in "asset management, risk managment, M&A, consulting, IT/Trading systems" I would recommend writing one CV for each, at least. Those are completely different jobs that require different skill sets.
What do you really want to do... asides get a job and make money?
I'm really interested in M&A and doing valuations(especially for start-up tech companies).
But, seeing as how I don't have experience, I am really unsure if I'm the position where I can pick which internships to do. I just want solid overall experience before graduating so that I can put myself in position to pick exactly where to work.
I'm just so lost right now on how to market myself and what-not to a specific position.
At first glance, make sure your descriptions stop before the dates begin. Try to quantify and expand on your descriptions....Thinks results, not tasks. Also, add an interests section...interviewers love that and it gives you a chance to find something in common with them
