Resume Review - Seeking career in equity research

Please Be Brutally Honest!

I am seeking a career in equity research and need some help with my resume. I attend a non-target and will be graduating in about 6 months.

I will start applying soon and need to have a flawless resume.

Thanks for your time and the feedback is much appreciated!

It is too long. Cut it down to one page. Get rid of Videographer Internship, no body in finance will care about that.

I'm no expert, but IMO, I'd say eliminate as much white space as possible. As said above, cut down to 1 page. use wider margins, and prolly eliminate the color.
