What's good and what sucks ass on this? I'll drop the MAcc program in a heartbeat if I get a full-time offer or off-cycle internship during the school year. I front-loaded the finance courses I'm taking (VC, Corp Financial Strategy, Consolidations, Financial Modeling) since I don't expect anything job wise this fall.
I know it's best to keep it to 1 page, did I cut the right stuff from the long version to get to 1 page, or should I have kept other stuff?
Would I benefit from moving the experience section above education? My thought is that it would de-emphasize the fact I went to a complete non-target and highlight my military experience. What are your thoughts?
I would get rid of the qualifications section and use the space to include the experience you cut out from the 2 pager.
Agreed. The experience you cut out may not be 100% relevant to a finance career, but I think you should definitely include it. Maybe consider formatting in the Mergers and Inquisitions format - I had trouble putting all of my info on one page and found that the M&I format helped me cram things in.
Cut the qualifications, it's obviously most of the content in your resume stuffed into paragraphs. Remove the GMAT score form education and add it to Activities & Interests (I would add a Qualifications line in that section where you can add your GMAT, languages, certificates, proficiency in Bloomberg, bla bla bla). Leave out "Graduate assistant summer 2011", you already mentioned it in Professional and Leadership experience, why mention it again?? Get the chronology right in your work experience section. You have Papa John's before your Chapter President stint. Why?
Thanks for the feedback. I've removed the Qualifications section and a couple useless bullets to bring it all onto one page.

Does that look better to you guys?
For those of you in the industry, how competitive would you rank this for SA or FT 2012 or off-cycle this winter? Again, if I receive ANY FT offer to start next summer/fall I will drop the MAcc without hesitation.
Why did you drop Graduate Research Assistant altogether now? Chronology is still wrong (most recent first). Remove GMAT from education (okay, debatable and you want to use it as a selling point but at least slip it elsewhere so you have a consistent format
Thanks again Revision 3 - http://www.razume.com/documents/21474
I had left the assistantship under the masters degree in education, I put it back under experience. I switched the order of the GMAT and GPA so that the GPAs line up between programs, but now that you mentioned it, it still looks a bit funny. What about leaving that off the resume and including it in CL instead? Thanks for pointing out the chonolody snafu. To get it all to fit on 1 page, I changed the font fron 11 down to 10.5. Is it too small now?
There's a mistake on the first line under Sergeant. an sense > a sense
Also, please quantify how many fools you cooked.
Thanks for pointing out the typo.
It is much, MUCH more entertaining when they cook themselves. new bullet point:
Discharged over 10,000 rounds whilst assistant gunner yelled "Get Some!" reducing the threat to the unit by disposing of more than 20 wastes of human flesh.
Or should I leave that off?
Hahah I would definitely hire you if you had that.
It's easy, just don't lead them so much!
Bump.

How competitive would you judge this for MM/boutiques. Any shot at BB?
I don't like the titles being centered, looks weird. Align them to the left, see what it looks like.
I think you're competitive if you network and hustle. Just my opinion.
