Senior Resume Review - Deleting some experience from resume?

I currently am using .5 inch margins and size 10 font to fit everything on one page. How can I get back to 1 inch margins and size 12 font? Should I just delete the Firestone job as it doesn't add a whole lot?

Please rip this thing apart. Thanks.

JimboUSCwhat is program gpa? same as major? and lol at hockey bullets

Program GPA is my my GPA from business specific classes.

why do you have bullet points for your activities (hockey team)?

I thought it demonstrated the whole teamwork thing, no? Would you advise me to just list it without any detail?

Let me guess, Texas A&M?

Yeah.

 

You should not have eight bullet points that cover being a simple member of a club and a member of a club sports team. Half your resume is taken up by something that should be only six words long. We know what an investment club and hockey team entails, you don't need to spend valuable resume space explaining it.

The bottom third of your resume should be summed up to this:

Activities: Investment club, club ice hockey team

If I do this, how do I fill out the rest of my resume? All other job experience I have is along the same line as my work at Firestone (i.e. irrelevant/non-finance). While I tried to spin my internship the best I could, it's still not finance related and the only bit of finance experience I have stems from the investing club. Is it really prudent to compress it to a single title?

what do you want to do?

Restructuring would be ideal.

I don't see a lot of numbers. Try to quantify your accomplishments.

I'll work on this.

I appreciate the advice.

You can add a "skills,activities, interests" section at the bottom of your resume. That is four additional lines that will help to round you out as a candidate. If you have not read mergersand inquisitions .com section on resume writing you need to. If you really don't have anything else that would be relevant outside of ten bullet points for a club then I guess you have to go for it. Take off the club hockey team bullet points at least, spending six lines to describe what a club team member does is going to look very out of place.
