SA resume - what do you guys think?

I attend a a non-target, GPA will be a 3.7+ after this upcoming semester (one class that I bombed is weighing it down, so I have to retake it).

The two internships are w/ a small PE shop and a nationwide discount stockbroker (not exactly investment banking related, but it's finance).

Let me know what you think.

  1. You have a period at the end of Relevant Coursework but not at the end of Honors
  2. Rearrange bullet points under your current internship - I think the 2nd point is much more impressive than the 1st.
  3. The 1st bullet point about the library - 1st bullet way too long. Last sentence not grammatically correct - amount of documents can not be 10,000 pages - size of documents can be.
  4. 2nd bullet point - "our analyst" - sounds funny. Also, you worked with him to figure out how a balance sheet works? Acct101?
  5. 2nd experience - did you actually sell products to prospective clients?
  6. Bullets/indenting looks funny on the 2nd bullet point
  7. Mathematica looks funny next to other languages
  8. Get cooking off your resume
  9. Get references available off your resume

good luck

 

Thanks!

One thing, by "Mathematica looks funny next to the other languages," what do you mean? It's under Languages and Technical Skills. Do you recommend I give a Technical Skills its own line? I thought about getting rid of it completely, but mastering mathematica was a huge pain in the ass that took a lot of work, so I figured I might as well mention it.
