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?
You need to fix your format ASAP. Use the WSO template at least and whats with the different font colors? This is not kindergarten.
Thanks for the feedback. Took another stab at it using the template, think you could take another look?
Had to get rid of trading competition and earliest internship, best to leave them off? Try to squeeze competition in?
I mean now it looks so much better. You might want to put your dorm leadership under the leadership and activities section, with the experience section being dedicated to just straight up jobs/internships.
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.
Thanks guys, got those fixed. Anything else? Content and wording is strong enough/sounds good?
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.
