Tear My Resume Apart

I would take off your HS unless you really think you need it.

I would use the mergers and inquisitions template.

Personally, I would not put that I am proficient in anything Microsoft related unless I was Microsoft certified. My reasoning is that you are telling an interviewer or hiring firm that you are more than competent in every aspect of that stated program. You are opening yourself up to very high expectations both in an interview and your work ability. It is best to under-promise and over-deliver.

Here is the link to the template:

Good luck with recruitment!

I very rarely give full reviews anymore, so forgive me for just scanning your resume:

-You were not a Students (plural) of BIWS, you were a Student (singular)

-Disagree with above. Keep HS if it really is one of the top schools in New York, I'm talking elite prep school like Trinity though, remove that shit if it's public (sad but true)

-Remove periods at end of every bullet - or don't - just keep it consistent throughout. You'll be surprised how stuff like that can auto-ding you at a lot of shops. (----That period is ironic, not hypocritical)

-One of twenty students selected from a pool of 200 high achieving students at Non-target UG I don't mean to go all Rand on you, but please tell me you see how stupid this sentence is. Not everyone can be special; if all 200 of you are "High Achieving," then the term becomes entirely moot

NR

1. Everything mentioned above
2. Make sure all your New York City, NY are perfectly aligned right, the ones under the high-achieving student program and the wm internship are clearly not aligned properly
3. Btw it's spelled PowerPoint with two capital P's
4. Double spacing: data center
5. That high-achieving program, make sure you talk more about what you got out of it instead of what it is

Baruch College?!

Bump

up

Your first bullet point or experience is always the most important in any section. This is the one that is looked at first and if it sparks the readers attention enough, they will give more thought to the rest of the resume. Your first experience under "Relevant Professional and Leadership Experience" does not say too much. Yes, it was great that you were selected from a pool of 200 applicants (I don't know if I would even say Non-target), and yes, you say this is a rigorous program, but what does that actually mean? I would definitely elaborate on this. What exactly are you doing/learning that will make you a more candidate for front office banking jobs? Modeling, Financial Statement Analysis, etc...

I would get rid of your HS in Academics. I am guessing you had pretty high SAT scores, since you received a scholarship. If this is true, ever think about putting this on?
