Resume - Summer Analyst Application

College Junior majoring in Finance and Information Systems. Could finish in the standard 4 years or delay until 5 with a 6-month financial analyst internship. Any and all critique is welcome. Do I have enough experience to be considered for BB, MM, Boutique?...

I hate to rip on resumes because it isn't very helpful, but yours could use some work. It is way too vague. For example, you took "accounting" what kind of accounting? (intro, intermediate, advanced, all three?). You need to work on making your resume more specific to the job you want. I highly recommend going to see your profs/career services to get help with your resume and possibly consult a professional service. WSO's service is awesome, I highly recommend it. Good luck dude.

When you are great, people will often mistake candor for arrogance.

What were the type of experiences you had for recruiting with consulting firms?

I did all of my recruiting through contacts I made on my campus, career fairs, info sessions, etc. My school actually offered a senior seminar on finding a job, so I took that, and it helped me get the offers I did. We did case practice, interview practice, etc. All of the shit I should have been doing on my own, but instead I got an A for doing it. I come from a non-target so I didn't get any interviews with BBM, my profs advised me that they were probably out of reach for most of our B-school, even the rockstars. I suggest doing as much case practice as possible, and making sure you come to your interview with a lot of questions prepared. The firm who I ended up taking an offer from told me that they were amazed how many other candidates simply said, "Nope. No questions" and left. Send me a PM if you have specific questions about the process.

I feel like more schools should do this. Maybe as a second semester sophomore/ first semester junior a class like that would have been huge just to get oriented with how much time/effort is involved in the job search. Its surprising.

 

Hey,

I'd take out -Early admissions group instructor.. it doesn't say much to me. -Delta chi fraternity

Why? You should only have 3-4 jobs/leadership experiences in total, you have 7. My suggestion is to cut it down, I'd probably want to hear more about UBS and the sell-side advisory firm and less about these 2 above positions. The goal is not to list every club you've participated in. If you really want them in have a separate bullet point named activities and put: member of delta chi fraternity, early admissions group instructor, etc..

Also what's your major it's not very clear..
