Resume Review: Non-Target - Low GPA Huge interest and broadly knowledged

Hey all,

I am interested in landing a boutique this summer and BB or PE next summer.

I have been looking at resumes on the website while avidly updating mine. I have finalized the format, but the content is lacking. I think I need some more direction as well as questions you guys have so that I can better explain my entries. Be as brutal as possible please. I am confident I will reach my goal, so lets get me there!

1) unblack out the other part of UC, we won't be able to tell which one of the 10's of 1,000s of students you are and it'll help people figure out what they're working with

2) If you don't list your 3.3, people will assume it is under 3.0

That's all I'm qualified to help you with, sorry man. I should say I noticed some grammatical errors in there, but you should have a friend/writing center at school help you with that. Also, that activities section is whack, just as a heads up. Now I'll let someone else help ya with this...

Absolutely put the 3.3 on, considering your coursework it isn't awful and if you don't have it on I will think you have a 2.5.

 

Oh, check out the "Getting a Job" section of the new WSO FAQs. I haven't looked through them too closely, but they might have something thatll help ya out
