Rip My Resume

First WSO post after many months of lurking. Quick background: Current junior (top 50 non target) interested in IB / PE after graduation. As the title says, please rip into this resume without mercy, ideally would like to go through a few iterations before sending out next month.

Specific questions: order of the three main finance experience entries? I want the first one at top, not sure about the next two. Wording too vague? Should excel and ppt be listed as skills, or is proficiency implied? Font / layout / overall readability?

Thanks

Looks solid. I would remove the (Financial and Managerial Accounting taken through top 50 B-School Part); it's a waste of space. And I would also remove the SAT score. While that's an impressive score, it becomes a little irrelevant that far into college. Use the space for something more relevant. Also, try to quantify a few more of your experiences. Other than that it's a great resume.

 

Played baseball in high school, got to college and intramural dodgeball seemed like a fun thing to do. It has been a great stress revealer

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Do you by any chance attend a school where beards are prohibited?
