Resume Review - Recent graduate working in valuation

Hello,

I am a recent graduate currently working in valuation. It has always been my goal to work in investment banking and recently overhauled my resume as I start to network more aggressively and would like some feedback.

In addition to working in valuation I currently spend some time working with the healthcare consulting group of my firm and I am hoping to use this experience to break into a healthcare group at a MM or boutique firm. What would be the best way to show both experiences at the same firm, as different line items?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Some suggestions:

"Prepared" valuation reports and financial models. Be more specific about "decision making and litigation support", as in your reports and models were used by other team members/litigation team or distributed to clients. Or replace the rest of the sentence with which valuation methods you used.

"Built/Constructed" financial models. "Employees/Managers/Founders" 'stock options. "Resulting in an enterprise value of $11MM, indicating the company was previously undervalued by (9/11-1) %." Write more about this experience if possible since this seems to be the most relevant exp to ibd. The part about wealth shouldn't be under your selected exp.

Something is off about being an investment analyst managing $3MM while still going to school. Also, "an extensive knowledge of M&A" will get you killed in interviews. "Built/Constructed" financial models. Replace "showing...understated" with "showing the original proposal was under-priced with a premium of 21% to the closing price". Take off "of" after closing price. Take off "several weeks after taking a position." "The offer was ultimately ..." The DD part is not a transaction.

Bullet points under your internship should start with action verb.

Take off the 1st and 3rd bullet point under Key Skills. Take off "Outlook".

Nothing is true; everything is permitted.
