Straightforward criticism needed - BB AM and IBD resume

- Text in [ ] is to clarify hidden info. [---] means cannot be disclosed
- Liberal arts, female, no banking-related experience
- Unattractive GPA
- Work 2 jobs while taking full coursework to support college education
- Been active in exploring options

I've been quite into energy lately and want to do an internship that gets me some exposure (not necessarily trading) so I'm thinking AM and IBD. Not mind at all doing Ops if got placed in the right desk to learn.

Please criticize this HARD - format, content, presentation... I need all straightforward and constructive feedback possible.

Really appreciate it!
