Hey my dude. I have a few suggestions and questions for you. Fist off, are you graduating in 2011? If so, remove the high school section. What sort of positions do you want to pursue? If FO IB, your GPA is a bit low, concentrate on finishing the year with all A's. The profile section and overall construction is rather sophomoric. Consider a more professional format. Third bullet under competition, start the highlight with a past tense verb. Do not end bullet points with a period.
To be entirely candid, you need to consider attaining a challenging internship that will catch the interest of prospective employers. Consider interning part time unpaid during this spring semester.
Give us an idea of what sort of career path you want to explore ensuing graduation so that we can provide advice that is more focused.
jmayhem, i'm not a big fan of your entire "profile" section. it contains a lot of hackneyed phrases ("detail sensitive", "analytical and communicative skills", "go above and beyond what is required"). it would be much more effective to demonstrate these qualities in your experience and activities sections. if i were you i would get rid of it.
in all honesty, you lack relevant internship experience but otherwise have solid resume. i agree with ibankedout, try beefing up your experience with internships in spring, or even in the summer after graduation (do them unpaid if you can afford to).
Dude, take the profile section out.
Your GPA is rather low, so maybe try including your major GPA if it is higher than your cumulative.
Given that your graduation date is 2011, I don't know how much you can do to increase your work experience, which is rather weak (regardless of what area in finance you want to break into), but you might want to consider taking up a part-time internship during the school year.
I'm also not a big fan of those gray bars.
You can take your high school off. Unless you went to Choate Rosemary or something, you should save that room for something more important on your resume.
If you want more criticism, you're going to have to specify what your goals are.
UBC doesn't have a B.Management, but a BComm. Maybe you should specify that you go to UBC-Okanagan to avoid confusing recruiters who are familiar with Sauder.
Definitely take out the high school and expand on the other sections a bit more.
I thought they merged...?
