Also, is it me, or do every single one of our resumes look the same? HR must get incredibly bored reading the same type of resume over and over.

 

Nope, midwest. I don't know much about MK's banking (I'm assuming that's what you're interested in)but I believe they have a few boutique bank affiliates.

 

Looks compelling and good use of the S-A-R framework (http://bit.ly/2Mzo3) to describe your accomplishments. Go for it and good luck.

Overall, nice job - I like the format (it's the one I use and have used for a few years - it's definitely solid). A few quick things: Take out "Daily reader of WSJ..." it's not necessary, as everyone should be doing that if they are interested in the bus - at least WSJ, not sure about yahoo. Pull back your sub bullet a bit so that at least the coursework line where you name the courses fits on 1 line instead of 2. Bullet your "Activities:" and "Interests:" - in other words, put a bullet before them so that everything sub headings is bulleted. Regarding a few of your bullet points, where you start with "responsible" or "in charge of" switch them out for action verbs such as "managed, led, maintained" etc. Take out the "/4.0". Other than that, it looks pretty solid - I didn't really read the content as much as take a skim through it, but it gives a good first impression.
