Sophmore at Non-Target Resume Critique

Oh snap. I meant to put “May 2016" for my expected graduation, my bad. In regards to the spacing, my friend (who's currently a senior & rising analyst at GS) said that a little white space near the end is fine since I'm only a sophmore w/ not much experience? Do you think that it's very critical to actually space the whole thing to fill up the sheet better?

For the current activities, I am currently sitting in on an investing class for juniors and seniors as an initiative to learn more on my own, (It's a course where a select # of students invest & manage a school fund of roughly 250K) though I don't list it on my resume because I've only been sitting in for roughly 1/2 the semester now, and it is a class that you have to apply to and be selected to get in. For my junior year, I also plan on applying to an i-banking specific club/organization at my school that has alums that have worked at BBs. (I applied this year as a sophmore, but again, it is a junior/senior club/society)

Other than that, thanks for all your input so far, kruzon! I appreciate it.

While I agree that as soon as you get more experience your resume should fill out quite nicely, I do think you should tweak the formatting a bit now so its easier on the eyes. I'd give it a sexier font too, but again this is just my opinion.

Dude, put that experience on there ASAP. Like, as soon as you can. That's really what you need, gun for those clubs and crush it so you can get a leadership position. That's when resumes really start raising eyebrows. Also, leverage those networks like mad, that'll pay dividends down the line. Best of luck to you.

Kruzon, what do you consider a 'sexier' font? (just out of curiosity)

Any additional advice anyone?

oGs, do you mind PM'ing your email or something so I can talk with you further? I would do it myself, but sadly I do not have 10 banana points yet..

Bump. Would love to hear more additional critiques if any! :-)

Fellow SEC school here, I know it's hard to get experience without having any. I can't say much for myself but here's what I noticed.

1) Follow the M&I format given above. 2) Change professional experience to work experience, just because service industry is really not that impressive to hiring managers. And take any internship/BS job in something business related that you can, so you can put it on your resume. Even if its social media coordinator (tweeting things). My first internship was in insurance, and it's not what I wanted to do long-term, but it was something to get me started. 3) Go to Lynda.com, and most likely your school has an educational account, otherwise it's not that expensive. Take the Excel, SAP, SQL, whatever business courses you can to enhance your learning. It will show drive. 4) No white space on bottom. And combine your middle 2 sections and put a lot of emphasis on treasurer, that seems to be the most financial/business related experience you have. You can easily double the lines for treasurer and spin it to show how you achieved results and exceeded expectations.
5) Make relevant coursework more brief. It should be one line maximum.

Good luck, and keep working hard at it.
