Senior resume review with little experience...

Would appreciate any and all advice regarding my resume: http://www.razume.com/documents/13862

Thanks for all help!!!

BTW, I have yet to see an investment bank recruiting at my school. So even with a good GPA and a little experience, its extremely difficult to land an interview :-/

Too many bullets for education.

Your second job bullet is great. Results orientated. You talk about improvements you made, gave percentages, action focused. 1st job description is explaining what the job entails, no results.

Extensive MS Office can probably go. Knowledge and proficiency in MS office is assumed so I don't think it is even worth putting on a resume. If you have nothing else than fun, but it is assumed.

Indent your bullets, it will break up the resume a little.

Solid Work Exp, good GPA. Can you give us an idea on what school you go to ?

 

Thanks for the advice.

Really haven't done much at my internship to even put results, that is why its lacking.. What would you suggest to beef it up?

As far as education, would you suggest removing the 'Honors' section, as its nothing out of the ordinary?

School is a non-target, private university in Chicago. I did actually see JPM post an internship position, but that has been about it.

 

I have a lot of friends from non-target schools and understand the difficulty of landing a gig in IB. But I know a lot them landed BB jobs for FT and as SA by networking their asses off. In the end for non-targets it really depends on your contacts and hopefully they will be willing to bat for you when it matters most. According to my friends, getting the interview was the hardest in regards to coming from a non-target (why networking is key), but they tied in hard work and coming from a non-target together which ultimately worked to their advantage. So good luck!

 

The honors is fine, just don't think you need a bullet for your degree and then one for your gpa and then one for honors, etc. Try and put gpa and degree together maybe.
