SA 2015 Non-Target Resume Review

Hello Monkeys,

Rising fourth year (Staying a fifth year to finish Econ major and get another internship round) here looking to break into IB, specifically M&A. Wondering if y'all could take a look at my resume and give me some opinions. While I have grown interest in M&A IB, I generally just want to experience higher finance. From a Non-Target that has some bank penetration in BB. Most of my school does Big 4. Not the path I want to go, so would love to hear opinions on making me stand out as a professional in the eyes of the industry. Please tear it up and thanks again.

Best

Honestly: I don't like your layout. The proportions between white space and text is weird.

Wow! Sorry if that came out harsh. I just feel like that's pretty obvious to me, and fortunately for you: easy to change! I guess I would want someone to tell me the same if they saw something like that.

Try putting "Education", "Experience", etc. on top of the line dividing the sections. Right now it's underneath it and its getting lost with all the other words.

Et numquam qui omnis. Illum et id voluptate quo nesciunt deserunt placeat. In eos rem nemo dolore non dolore impedit. Voluptatum officiis voluptas repellendus velit asperiores. Qui doloribus dolorum dolores inventore.
