Review Resume Please!
I am currently a rising junior. Any advice on formatting, especially making it leaner? I figure I should have more points for my most current internship than my last. Is the zoologic info dumb to have on there? I want to add to content to my clubs but can't really fit. Should I have my high school on there? Not exeter or andover but well known and respected.
Also, it fits onto one page in Word.
Looking to NYC for next summer, BB. Anything I can add over the next year or so to help?
Doing a quick overview, your name needs to be much bigger, and either centered, or at least on its own line with email, cell, address on the 2 lines below that.
Next, your general format is pretty decent, although I prefer everything but sub bullets to be aligned on the left margin (meaning primary bullets as well). I would also use month and year - month and year for timeline.
Regarding content, take out the "/4.0," take out "pre-business program," as I don't know what that should convey, but it doesn't sound great, under Euro Univ, I don't know what economics and comp sci are (majors, courses, what?) and I don't know what "Future" means - are you studying abroad there, if so, label it as a study abroad program or somthing. Take off your high school, it is not necessary - I mean you can keep it if you want, but there is probably a better way to use the space.
Mix up your verbs a bit, and try to zero in on any sort of results that may have occured due to your efforts (whether solely based, or just related to them). Not sure if I like the word "triangulate" in that sentence - what did you do exactly with all of the models to the old model? Just a bit of a mixed up sentence.
Again, focus on results and impact - especially with your clubs - you can really use these to show your leadership skills and help to differentiate yourself from other candidates.
Separate your "Skills and Knowledge" section into 2 bullets - skills and technical knowledge - it will cut down on it looking like a big run-on. Also, if you have room, you could throw some hobbies on there as well - you could change the section name to "Skills and Hobbies" as knowledge is a skill.

It seems that you really only did administrative works.
Thanks bankonbanking,
I just put "future" in for sake of the review, I'm trying to get some pointers before I make mine final while studying abroad so the future part will be gone. At this University, you are accepted into different courses of study. Computer science and economics are the ones that I was accepted and will be studying in. Is there a way to word that more clearly? Thanks for the formatting pointers. I think taking out the high school part will add more space. I am a member of the investment club at my school, but don't have as high leadership roles as I do in my other clubs. However, this could obviously be relevant considering the type of work I'll be applying to. Do you still think that should go under the club sports team or any suggestions?
Sanjose04, My first internship at the bank was mostly administrative work, didn't get much quantatitive value out of it but learned a lot about the corporate structure and inner workings. My internship this year has been all finance, mostly financial modeling and analysis. I guess I need to come up with a way to convey that. Does the GE internship appear to be just administrative work. If so, I will need to make changes.
