Sophomore Resume - Summer Internship Prospects

Was wondering if any of you could take a look at my resume and give me some feedback. Be brutally honest with your critiques. Any suggestions would be great, as I am looking to enhance my resume as much as possible, especially before junior year. Anything you suggest I should be involved with? Any other skills that are extremely necessary? All advice will be considered.

I realize my GPA is not where it needs to be right now for BB junior year recruiting. I will have it up to a 3.7+ by next fall, and am at a target (maybe considered semi-target by some).

***Note: I was a transfer, that is why there is two Universities listed

If you could also recommend the types of internships to look for regarding this (sophomore) summer, that would be great. I am looking at BlackRock, and have a family friend that may be able to make a call for me, but my goal is to go in to IB at a BB right out of college and go from there.

Thanks, any and all advice is appreciated.

Format - Why do you have the address twice?

Commentary: 1. Have a strong story for the drop in GPA, hope your finance grades were better than the math minor 2. What type of "fundamental analysis" was this a long-only situation? What kind of investment clients? 3. Learned and Developed*** not "learned about" 4. Created Weekly market... lose the summarized. 5. Your third bullet is the most impressive move that up as the first (killing the first bullet) or move it to second at least. SHOWING results = interviews. 6. You tutored and assisted people in Business classes... Which lead to? Increases in GPA? How was performance here measured and stick that in there. 7. Skills you say "MS office" then swtich to "Microsoft Access" fully spelled out. Just say "Microsoft office" 8. Delete hard working. 9. Take out volunteer work if you can replace it with relatable volunteer work like helping people with taxes 10. Do you have any interests that would directly realte to finance? Or imply you are hardworking? IE: win any compeitions in motorcycle riding or sports? A bit too vague.

Overall the experience/GPA is completely fine, the format is fine (assuming address issue is addressed), the organization is fine, the content needs to be more direct and relevant. More numbers the better.

Address the above shouldnt take more than an hour or two and you'll be fine, get to interview prep.

 
adminFormat - Why do you have the address twice?

My best guess one is home address and the other is his school address. Just leave the most relevant address on there.
