Silver banana to best review - HS senior lf SA position
Hey Guys,
So I'm looking for another job this summer, hopefully at a HF/PE shop.
I've updated my resume and have the link posted below. Any and all help is appreciated. Best review pertaining to my resume, and specifically how/where to improve it, will get a silver banana. Thank you all in advance!
I would feel dirty if I took a silver banana off of a highschool kid
Dude, I have a feeling you're gonna do just fine.
I really have to chuckle at what a fuckwit I was at this age. I was driving a forklift after school and chasing tail like my life depended on it. I don't think I could've spelled "internship" when I was a senior in High School.
yeah you have a better resume than some college seniors on this site. you need to chill my man
To be constructive, however, world history + psych and even your physics courses are not "relevant" coursework.
Working from the top going down:
HS:
*SATs: Since you'll be looking at smaller/more bullshit HFs (sorry, just being honest - you're in HS), you might end up having better scores than the guy who interviews you. But you should still include them, just de-emphasize them. Advice: consolidate them into a single aggregate score ####/2400, and put it on the same line as your GPA, separated by a semicolon or a vertical line as you have ("|").
*Coursework: Psychology is probably not relevant, and maybe not even world history or biz law. Advice: Trim out the weaker stuff and get it onto one line.
EXPERIENCE:
*PE: Obviously this is outstanding experience coming out of HS. You're going to want to emphasize the shit out of it. Advice: This should fill half of your experience space. So really dig into what you did and come up with more stuff to talk about. A good place to start is this list of action words - pick the more proactive sounding ones, and think about what you did that could fit with them (http://www.bc.edu/offices/careers/skills/resumes/verbs.htm).
*Other clubs: Remove one of these, and think about how you can do what I suggested above with the two that you keep.
SKILLS:
*Language: As a matter of style, I would not use colons to specify your experience level as you have. Try parenthesis - i.e. "Russian (Native), French (Basic)." Also, since you're a native Russian speaker - which is fine - I would also put "English (Fluent)."
*Interests: Take out psychology. Not because it isn't interesting - I think it's fascinating - but because it does nothing to help you make a case for yourself. I also would consider including an interest that isn't outdoorsy, just for some variety. Some people might advise you to take off Classical History; I would clarify it, just so the reader can understand it better - e.g. "Ancient Greek History." This is just in the spirit of making it as easy as you can for the reader to get a feel for who you are.
This should be a good start for your next revision. Good luck.
Grab a beer and get laid. You are too young for this shit.
Solid.
You should probably relax and go to a keg party, or some other more constructive use of your time. Your only young once, don't waste it.
