Senior looking to get feedback for full time recruiting

Hi, I'm a senior at a target college trying to get a full time job in banking or consulting (beggars can't be choosers..), and with the resume drops and mixers coming soon, I wanted to get your take on my resume and my shots at getting interviews. Any feedback would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like a very solid resume. Good Work Exp and EC's/Leadership stuff. Just a few points (take this with a grain of salt, I'm not an expert):

1) I would remove the "2nd and 3rd year GPA". It just looks akward and isn't really necessary when you have 3.5 cum and 3.8 major GPA from a target. It's just taking up space IMO. 2) What's up with the semicolon in "Dean's List Recipient; since 2009 Winter"? That looks weird to me. I might say "Dean's list every semester since Winter 2009" or something like that. 3) Not sure Game Theory is relative to Banking or Consulting but the other coursework is good. 4) For your student consultant thing can write "Case Leader" or "Assistant Case Leader" or was "Vice Case Leader" your official title?

Otherwise its a solid resume. Should be pretty good for recruiting IMO.

 

agree with comments above. Definetly get rid of 2nd/3rd year GPA.

Also, if that is all the applicable coursework you have i might just remove that section... especially since you have a minor in econ, so they'll assume you took a good amount. That's a judgement call though.

 

I would list the Minor in Economics in it's own line below your Poli Sci degree.

Also, why don't you have a job title for your third Private Equity Fund? It seems odd to have the Title, Description format on the other two, but then only give a description for the third.

Finally, you listed "HBO's Entourage" as one of your interests!? SO BADASS!

HBO'S ENTOURAGE? Dude are you kidding me. You might as well have signed your name I.M. ADick III., way to look like a d'bag/young kid. Take that crap off. Your resume wreaks PE...why banking or consulting now? Did the Wall Street musical get you?
