Thanks I'll change both - move my GPA towards the center/left...and pick one degree.. Is there anything else that doesn't look right? I do not have a lot of work experience, so I am worried if all that I have on the resume makes me a good I-banking candidate.

Before getting to content, taking a look at style and first impressions:

  1. The non-title font (bullets, etc) looks really small - if it is a normal 10 or more, perhaps my eyes are just tired and playing tricks on me - but that font does appear really small on my screen and if reviewers have to squint to read it....they won't.

  2. Since you said the major and GPA issues were fixed, add "anticipated" to the May 2011 and take out "candidate for" and just lead off with "Bachelor of Science..."

  3. Add a space between your two educations

  4. Increase the font size of your name a few points - it looks like it is about the same size as your section titles, it should be in the ballpark of double (or at least about double the font size of your bullet points).

  5. Write all of your timings as: "Month Year - Month Year" - don't mix month year with season year, with just years. Also, capitalize "Present" in the times as well.

  6. Put a space before each new section title, and delete your "Honors" section - just move the bullets in the Education section, combine them into 1 and title it as "Honors"

  7. Your resume should fit on 1 page.

  8. You need to expand on your bullets some - focus not just on what you did, but how you accomplished it and the results it had on your team, the company, etc, if any.

Good luck.
