Sophomore Resume review - Resume for accounting or finance internship

To start off:

• Get rid of the summary at the top
• Divide it into Education, Work Experience, Leadership, Skills/Interests
• Align your text to the margin on the right side
• You misspelled the full name of PwC
• Be more consistent with your numbers (you have some spelled out, others you do not)

Best of luck.

Ok i have updated it. Can you look at it again? I think the margins are fine and I don't think at this point i need to divide into leadership. Unless you can give me some more ideas.

Thanks,

You really need to work on the descriptions, especially those about your work experience.Take a look at these resumes and notice how they're more impact-oriented. It's less about the steps or description of what you did and more about what your direct impact was. It can be quantitative (ex. $) or qualitative (ex. increase in efficiency).

Also, widen your margins to 1 inch. And don't use pronouns in your writing.

For the headers: Instead of "Education:" write "EDUCATION" (that goes for all of them).

Can you elaborate on any on-campus activities? Have you joined any business organizations or finance clubs? Notice how the Kelley kids from the link mention their frats/sororities, investment clubs, sport teams, etc.

Yup, the senior class has better developed resumes/experience.

Honestly, there are only one or two resumes in the 2014 class that impressed me. Most of them haven't even had any proper internships.

^ And which one or two would those be?

Do any other schools post up these resumes? Most of the resumes there are not ideal examples.
