review my resume pls
i have been on the market for a few months and i think this is a great forum for third party opinions. i have 2 requests 1) please critique my resume 2) guess how many interviews i had with it?

note: my resume is one page in ms word
0 interviews. Try working on the overall presentation or working with the WSO resume service.
I wouldn't say zero interviews, but it should def be cleaned up.
Do they not have calendars in Canada?
booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Thumbs up on "Advanced Microsoft Excel skills" lol
Also, got to keep it to one page.
Cant tell when you graduated. Sounds a little cocky so I would try to catch you in a phone / person interview. Mayve 2 interviews with family friends?
Is this a joke 0 interviews? This guy has completed the FRM, and CFA curriculums, with nearly the required 4 years of experience to get his CFA. For the people who haven't been through those, it's a huge accomplishment, and that alone is more impressive than just about any MBA. More impressive than any MBA for AM. It really doesn't matter that you went to York, you're a smart guy who knows his shiit. You should have gotten many interviews with this. That said your resume is weakly put together for someone with that much going for him. You could use M&I blah blah, but if you cleaned it up, I don't see why you won't be swimming in interviews.
gentlemen, thank you very much for your input. i appreciate the negative ones as i know that there is always room for improvement and in my case i have a long way to go. as for the positive comment, MsCleo, i also appreciate it since it's nice to know someone thinks i have a chance in this dismal market. so far i had 1 interview with very little hope in the company getting back to me. i have taken your advice with regards to cleaning it up. you can review my efforts at the link below

please be candid on what you think thanks
How long did the CFA take you?
here is the final product after tweaking it. http://www.razume.com/documents/17678
there are some minor cosmetic differences with the indentations between my actual resume and the one razume scanned. i have changed the font as recommended and removed the professional portfolio category.
thanks alot guys.
Definitely need to take out the Professional Portfolio section. IMO that type of section is outdated and not useful. Interests and skills should be about 2-3 lines max. Other than that, I would add a lot more content in between to make sure that you're using up all the space possible. Font is also really annoying - try Cambria or Book Antiqua
