Resume/CL Critque

1 semester left of school (finance). 3.1 GPA so I am unsure if I should list it. Looking for ER postiions (I know it is going to be hard as hell) or simply anything that can get me into the position to land ER or AM down the line. I've also attached a recent cover letter that I used for your review. Honeslty, I dont have a ton of finance experience but I do have 4 years of investing throughout undergrad, so it is essentially the only thing I can leverage. I am also finishing my CFA in December and have taken Wall Street Prep's financial modeling course, as well as insured as a life insurance broker for my previous job (I have proficient communication skills).

$150,00 --> $150,000 "enrolments" --> enrollment

Everybody makes mistakes. Those mistakes don't matter because you've posted it here; but, imagine the reaction an interviewer would've had if they saw that. Double-check your shit before you submit it somewhere. The many mentions of cold-calling give me the impression you'd excel in S&T, lol. In all seriousness, I don't see anything wrong here. List your GPA. The last thing you want to do is hide your GPA. Good luck on your endeavors!

I could not believe I listed $150,000 as $150,00 that is just crazy to me. It's fixed, but wow. Insane. The mentions of cold calling is moreso to get across to employee's that I am not scared of doing things that some people may perceive as hard. There was a couple other finance guys who did my position as well, and they were fired because their communication skills were just terrible and they just didn't have the nuts and skills to constantly refine their technique.
