Take this resume to poundtown...

So I am a rising senior at a non-target (still a decent school though). I've been trying to network and have some phone chats set up. With my low GPA (3.3 from a non-target) I realize without networking I probably won't make it through screening.

But my experience is OK I just don't know if I have communicated it effectively on my resume. I should be up to a 3.5 by the time I graduate, but that isn't going to help for fall recruiting.

Any advice would be appreciated.

FYI Financial Analyst intern was at a boutique in China, and then my other internship was with a group in China consisting of the boutique IB, Big 4 Accounting Firm, and a Huge PR Firm.

Yeah i guess i could see that. I'm not even that good at golf (8/9 handicap) but I wanted something that might catch a recruiter's eye instead of "golf, hockey, finance"

Interests needs to be written in a way that doesn't make someone want to punch you in the throat.

I disagree. Those interests would make me want to apply a roundhouse right in the dick. It's best to stop future problems at the source.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

OK . . . well I guess it was good I got some feedback on this. Jesus I'm actually not an arrogant douche bag at all, far from it, but apparently the interests section makes it seem so. But yeah I will take your advice and change the interests section.

Any advice on the body/format?

And there is no reason for anyone else to describe the acts of violence they wanted to commit on me after reading my "Interests" section lol

Most recent experience - 1. Themselves should be itself - firm is singular 2. 3 should be three 3. Get rid of "in support of analysts"

2nd experience 1. Get rid of "produced by analysts" 2. Period at end of 3rd bullet - problem 3. You misspelled Thomson. Why caps on ONE?

Golf place 1. Need comma before "and was responsible"

 

Thanks Dr.

Anyone else? SB's . . .
