Tear Apart My Resume for Full Time Recruiting

Please help me get my resume in good shape for full-time recruiting. Interning at a small boutique that doesn't give out return offers, so I'm hoping to find something with a MM or lower-tier BB.

I like it, but I'm a little worried that it's too cluttered. I'm thinking that maybe I should axe the first congressional internship at the bottom?

What else? What do you all think?

Instead of "Class of 2018" , I would put the "Month, Year - Month, Year" for attendance. Some students graduate in December and some in May for each class year, so they want to know when you are available to work.

Also, add dates when you were the dorm president.

 

There are only a few places where you pointed to an accomplishment, don't just list a statement of your responsibilities or your title everywhere. You don't quantify enough things with numbers in your bullets. I'd like to see more numbers that explain your impact.

Take a look at your sports entry for example; consider adding a bullet point for your soccer experience so that you can draw attention to your championship and team ranking in separate lines with a short description of their meaning. Once you do that, apply the idea to everything else you listed.

 

Cumulative GPA - consistent number of significant digits (3.9/4.0 or 3.90/4.00)

For dorm president, use consistent numbering. IMO anything over ten should be a numeral (Elected president of 200-person residence hall and head of 20-member house team) especially for consistency

Capitalize "Bachelor of Arts"

Consistent verb tense in resume. E.g. "Direct control of a $9XX,000 annual budget as member of DSC Finance Committee" should be a similar structure with a past tense verb like the others

Thanks good advice, fixing that stuff.

Fixing all of that, except question on GPA thing. First GPA is rounded while second is a straight 3.9, should I still just list it as 3.9 and not 3.90? Thanks for the help.
