Take out your bad day on my resume (non-target review)

I appreciate any help and feedback on my resume.

To better explain the information I have redacted, I graduated form a non-target school in Texas, with a degree in Banking & Finance, as indicated. The banking portion of my degree centered around classes and case studies to mirror formal credit training. After graduation, I spent a year out in West Texas at a highly respected Regional bank that has consistently ranked in a top five position, in their asset class. While at that bank I completed a form of formal credit training, although not typical to BB credit training. Currently, I work at a Super-Regional Bank by U.S. measures, but the bank has a large presence in Europe, South America, and offices in Asia. I work as a C&I underwriter for Middle Market and Lower Middle Market borrowers. While working I have completed a part-time MBA, from the same non-target school I obtained my undergrad from. The MBA was inclusive of in-class and on-line courses, with an emphasis in Banking and Financial Institutions.

Please be as critical as possible. I appreciate any specific feedback, what you like, what you don't like, what you would add, what you would take away, all input is greatly appreciated. There is no need to sugarcoat anything.

My goal is to obtain a position as an analyst at PE or IB shops in Houston, preferably PE. My secondary goal is to lateral more to an internal corporate finance position.

Bring relevant coursework to the top. Don't say you're proficient in microsoft anything unless you have certifications in them. Add something else, like "Involvement" to distinguish yourself as not being boring, because reading your resume you sound kind of boring.

Also, make the bottom say "ADDITIONAL INFORMATION" and include: interests, hobbies, skills, certifications, languages.
