The Resume of an Underdog

Hi guys,

Looking for feedback- about to send this out to everyone I know.

Two things- the GPA is outdated; graduation date is also outdated.

Any advice on the language/formatting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much guys, I won't forget it!

Best,

You have a 3.7 from a top-15 LAC, study abroad experience, a hedge fund internship, and proficiency in mandarin. I wouldn't call you a shoo-in but you're hardly an underdog.

@Messedup- I'll leave out the word dog next time to prevent any confusion.

@Roymondito- Will do

@Nouveau Richie- Thanks, but the GPA actually tanked last semester to a 3.5 Also, despite rankings, most banks still don't really know my college.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.

Typo on your comment. You put typeo but meant typo.
