Resume Review for Rising Sophomore looking for BB Opportunity
Hey guys,
I just completed my first draft of my resume and wanted to hear some feedback so I know what direction to take it in. For example, the objective statement is still extremely rough. Anyways, it would be great if you could take a look and give me any advice possible and I promise I won't get offended.
For background, I go to a target and am looking at summer opportunities at BB's in North America and Asia next summer.

PS - I attended a basic 2 day DCF valuation class but much of it was following the instructor and I'm not confident that I would be able to recreate his steps or much less create a DCF from scratch myself. Having said that, I understand the basic concepts of a DCF. I didn't include this on my resume because I admit I'm far from being an expert on DCF's now but should I include this on my resume jsut to show initiative and some background? If so, how should I word it to make it sound more modest and not that I am claiming to know everything there is to know about DCF's?
Thanks again guys!
Is your grading system out of 4.0? If so then I ask how it is possible that you have a 4.04 GPA?
How is your GPA a 4.04? If you don't go off of the 4.0 scale then you'd better say what scale your school does use. Also you can remove the Objective section. From what I've heard, it's not appropriate to IB resumes
at my school, an A+ is actually a 4.3 so its out of 4.3 but thanks for the advice OGBanker, I'll make sure to delete the objective. Any other advice would be appreciated!
take out the objective-makes you look like a fool don't mention the DCF course unless you have empty space you want to fill up
you already have had an IB internship so you are probably further ahead in the game than your rising sophomore classmates
good luck

-I would reformat this entire resume.
-Remove SAT Subject scores. The only high school number that sticks with you is your SAT score (unless you went somewhere like Exeter).
-State what kind of Bachelor degree you are pursuing (Art, Science, Business Administration).
-I would remove Best Buy. If you decide to keep it, go into more details about your sales performance. Post numbers about how much you sold ("sold approximately $300,000 in inventory") or state your ranking in relation to the store's other salespeople ("Ranked as one of the top 5 salespeople out of sales staff of 50+ for seven out of my eight months of employment").
-Change "Beginner's Spanish (spoken and written)" to: "Spanish (elementary spoken and written)"
-Beef up ALL of your Finance, Leadership, and Employment Experience points. Your resume screams quantity, but is mute on quality.
Include it.
Just say something like: "Attended [event name] instructional seminar for DCF Valuation training."
you might want to add the months instead of just writing the years.
Thanks for the feedback guys!
Why do you think I shouldn't include SAT II though; by that I mean even if some people will disregard it, will others really look down on the fact that it's on my resume? I tried to include it only because I haven't taken very quantitative classes since coming to college.
Also, what exactly did you mean by beef up? I really appreciate the feedback but could you give me an example?
Thanks again.
