Get rid of the citizenship line.
The education section seems so empty. Never gotten any awards or scholarships? Or did any relevant coursework?
Otherwise, pretty strong
I cut the education section in order to expand on work experience. You think it's worth it to chop the work experience? Also, the reason why I include it citizenship line is because it is always a conversation topic in interviews.
It's just my personal opinion. You could also write about your academic achievements on the same line as your GPA.
After all, it's just a random guy's opinion.
Decent resume....
One problem I see is when you say you executed trades on the desk... But I don't see anywhere on your CV that you have a series 7, 63 or 65? Unless that is what you blacked out at the bottom. Otherwise you're either blowing a little bit too much hot air or you forgot to add those...
I have blown a hot air I guess you'd say. I "trade" in the BO, so they told us we didn't have to be licensed....something about us not soliciting so its not necessary. I don't really know, I've only been there a month. I figured a recruiter wouldn't really know the difference.
Well they probably won't, so it's completely up to you to keep it on there or not. However if you are asked about it, you should have a way to bullshit through the explanation just in case. Shouldn't matter for an LDP program, but if you were applying to an S&T desk or somewhere else then you may catch some heat. Good luck.
