Resume Review - Interested in Corporate Finance at a bank
I'm looking for some criticism on my bullet points. I'm interested in doing something along the lines of corporate finance at a bank, market risk, equity research/Asset Management. I have a separate resume for research that includes my signing up for the CFA lv 1 in Dec and my student membership with NYSSA. I know my GPA is a bit low and my major gpa is slightly lower so I left that off. Thanks

For some reason it keeps cutting off the last two lines (even thought it all fits on 1 page) so here they are:

Certifications & Training: Reuters300xtra and Bloomberg Terminal
Interests: Managing personal investment portfolio, New York Rangers and Arsenal fan
Again, Thanks for any comments!
Formatting is good and consistent. Some great experiences you've got there, and whilst you've mentioned a good variety of tasks that you did I think you should go into more depth especially with regards to the results you achieved. Put more focus on your contribution to the projects/firm. What was made of the company notes, did they influence decisions? How effective were the models you developed?
The experience as an analyst intern at the boutique needs improvement. It's a 4 month internship and you need to make it sound more important than you have. Right now it's coming across as a rubbish admin role, which it may even be (no offence intended), but you need to window dress it to make it sound impressive, like it's worth mentioning. Entering data into a computer isn't really note worthy.
I think you need to mention a bit more, space permitting, on your role as VP of the club.
Software skills should preferably be phrased as Computer Skills or IT Skills. MS Office and VBA doesn't really come under 'software' skills.
For your interests I think it would be better to state ice hockey and soccer rather than align yourself with particular teams.
Overall though it's pretty good, a nice clean CV and pleasant to read. I think the main problem is you're being a bit too honest in that you're making out your experiences to be as underwhelming as they really are (everybody does BS donkey work tasks at internships). You have to flatter some of your experiences by making them seem more significant, like they matter, without stretching the truth too far obviously. Just extrapolate the influences and contribution your tasks will have made.
