Rip my Resume apart - Graduating next year

Please TEAR my resume apart, tell me ANYTHING I can do to make it better

Graduating next year, I am looking to get into BB ER/AM, or big AM shops like Fidelity.

Note: my latest internship experience hasn't started, just including it in to get a feel of how my resume will look like during recruitment season.

I have a few questions,

1) I am considering taking one semester off to gain more relevant experience. No problems with graduating late. Anyone has any opinions on this?

2) I am using Arial 10. Is it too small?

3) Should I include CFA level 1 exam and summer school under Education? They are in Dec and Aug 2012 respectively and I included it because IMO it shows my interest and passion for finance

Appreciate any inputs!

Read the ethics portion of the CFA CBOK. Most you can put on your resume is "Charted Financial Analyst Program Level 1 Exam Candidate," then "Dec. 2012." Do NOT say "Expected Dec. 2012" as that implies you'll pass (which is a violation of the code).

Yeah exactely. Watch your layout for this entry. If you screw up the format of the cfa in your resume, that will not make a good impression, especially if the guy reading your resume is a chartholder...
