Resume Review for Non-Target School
Hi everyone,
I have a resume from a non-target school and need help making it slightly more attractive to recruiters!
Now, though I was the salutorian at my high school (the largest in my state), I really had no option but to attend the university I am graduating from. Because of family requirements, I could not go out of state or move out - and so, I am conflicted as to whether or not I should include some sort of explanation for attending a non-target school. Granted, this school is ranked among the ivies for their MBA program, and their computer information systems undergrad program (which I have also majored in) is number two in the nation; but, nevertheless it is still not a target school.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Please be honest!
Thank you so much, everyone! :)
Don't add that because the only people that are likely to look at your resume are alumni and you don't want to be explaining to them you had to go to their sub-par alma mater. Also, you would sound pretentious and I would (if I was looking at resumes) ding you immediately; when I have so many qualified applicants I can just throw the ones I don't like away.
Might want to cover up your schools state and city---kinda makes it obvious which school you go to.
Under interests list something fun--like travel or skydiving. I know of only one job that is very quantitative and client relationship oriented and that an exotic derivatives structurer..any other jobs will be one or the other and it might get you into trouble during interviews.
uh
Georgia Tech isn't a complete non-target how about Atlanta banks?
I believe the OP attends Georgia State University since the degree is a BBA. All the undergrad degrees offered at GT are a BS.
You're right though, GT isn't a complete non-target. I know that Citi, Deutsche Bank, and Citadel (for programmers) recruit from Tech.
Under NY Life Insurance, the first bullet should read 'interacted..."
Georgia State's MBA program is ranked among ivies?
Redact your activities section more carefully. (There's something obvious in there.)
no summer internship? I think that's what i would ask if i saw this...maybe youve been doing coursework or something
maybe summer internship is what she's trying to obtain in IB?
she's graduating... I think she's shooting for a full time - def a summer internship at Wall street would add so much value..but pretty good resume nonetheless, good luck.
Any resume specific comments? Format, layout, etc?
I'd also like to get some opinions on getting a MSF (and busting ass to do well) to perhaps mask undergrad GPA. If so, any suggestions of schools? I'd even to go the Europe route if LSE or SSE are viable options.
I would indent your bullets. Also, for the last line of NY insurance, I'd begin with Created... and then put after being promoted later.
Also your dashes for dates for 3 internship is inconsistent. The first one is shorter than the rest; minor point, but important if you are targeting for job that requires attention to detail.
