Revised Resume Completely, PLEASE CRITIQUE ONE LAST TIME!

Hello fellow monkeys,

I have revised my resume yet again! I want it to be really good, so I am constantly working on getting it better and better. Please critique this resume (Go ALL OUT!). Thanks in advance for all your feedback!

Since you are working full time, I would put the education on the bottom of the resume right before skills & interests. Make last section Skills, Leadership and Interests and kill the PE/VC association because it is quite dated; the last section you use ,& political research vs ) and Office Suite....be consistent either and or &; You use bullets everywhere else but - in the last section; I would add your Microsoft office suit to your working knowledge line and make it all on line: '"Technical Skills: Working..."; 4 bullet under current work experience reads funny - maybe say ...M&D firm, and confirm proposed

Disagree with putting "Education" at the bottom; your GPA is great and it should shine. (This assumes that this resume is being prepared for an IB analyst or other graduate recruiting program; your mileage elsewhere may differ.)

"Professional Experience" seems bulky; try increasing spacing between bullets by a couple of points. (Note: I didn't read the text closely.) I would remove the "Breaking Into Wall Street" item, since you've had a banking internship.

The "Leadership Experience" section seems chunky; consider removing the "PE/VC Association" item if you don't feel that it's essential.

"Technical Skills" should fit on one line, as in "Interests."

Under "Interests," I would consider removing "capital markets" and "political research." Unless you are seriously into "cliff diving" and"bungee jumping," pick something else to list.

Pick either the word "and" or the ampersand symbol ("&") and stick with it in all of your lists.

Use all of the saved space to expand further on your work experience.

In all honesty, how could you possibly have that many hobbies? A hobby is not the same thing as something you did once and liked. It's an ongoing pursuit.
