This kid's got the PERFECT Resume

@OP

Though I agree with the consensus above that this resume is decent, does it really take 19 posts before someone gives this guy some constructive feedback?

I only looked at your rezy very briefly, but here are my quick fixes:

-Write GPA out of 4.00 to keep significant figures standardized. Disjoint formats like that are a big banker no-no.

-I realize you just started there, but write SOMETHING about what you're actually doing at the Regional MM, even if you haven't done anything yet, you should at least have some sort of very-general job-description. If you send the resume out as-is, it's going to very clearly look like a job-shadow (especially since you're telling them that it ends after only a month), which will significantly discount the actual value of the experience. Also, it will make the internship look longer than only a month. [If you need bullets because you don't have enough to contribute, here's a trick: write "Supported _______ in _______" where the first line is something like "deal teams" and the second is something you very loosely were involved in that someone else did most of but sounds impressive. The word "supported" has an ambiguous enough meaning to make these statements factually correct.]

-This is a preference thing, but reverse the order of "Investment Banking Analyst Intern" to "Investment Banking Intern Analyst" so that the word "Intern" modifies the word "Analyst," and not the other way around. The word "Intern" is both a noun and an adjective, but the word "Analyst" is only ever a noun, therefore, the order you have right now is grammatically unless hyphenated (which would look ugly).

-For the second bullet of your S&P internship, if you can, just give a lower bound instead of writing "100s of clients'." What you have now is much more ambiguous than writing something like "over 150 clients." As a rule of thumb, greater specificity is always preferred when possible.

-Decrease the font size of the empty-lines in between each item and section, they look really big right now. Change them to roughly half the font size of your actual body text. This will also give you a bit more space o elaborate on your MM Internship.

-Don't hide your activities section at the bottom; I barely noticed that you studied abroad! If the study abroad session was at an actual UK university (rather than an extension program of your school) then list the university as its own item in the education section. Otherwise, move that entire activities line as a sub-bullet of your University and change the heading of "Skills, Activities & Interests" to "Skills & Interests" or "Additional Qualifications."

-Move "Mock Portfolio" somewhere else in your resume ("Activities") or take that shit off all-together. You have over 30 lines to express this relevant attribute, but you save it for the last fucking word? Your "Interests" section is the one place in the entire sheet that should have NOTHING to do with finance. Also agree with the removal of parentheses around (Rowing), this is finance, they know what fucking crew is, haha.

Overall, my rating is that this resume is solid and will prob get you a job if you're diligent enough. Good luck man.

General DisarrayHow much do you guys want to bet that instead of 'brutally ass rape this resume', we're now going to see variations of 'this guy has the perfect resume!'

Absolutely agree, haha!

^ ignore this

It's good, REALLY GOOD, now just meet people and you're golden.

Forgive the overly objectivist sentiment here, but I thoroughly disagree. This resume is good, but it isn't "REALLY GOOD" (he has below a 3.7 from a non-target, he doesn't have experience that is directly-transferable yet, etc.). This guy will not be guaranteed a job by any means.

If we as a society begin to quickly ascribe our highest praises to that which approaches mediocrity too closely, then such praises will lose their meaning entirely. Your statement undermines the level of competition we all face in the world (as you know well yourself) and what he will realistically face in the recruiting stack. There are MUCH better candidates than this one, let's save such sentiments for those people.

(PS - OP, I'm not trying to playa-hate here, I'm just being honest.)

@SR

SlikRickRead it from top to bottom, it looks solid. You'll find that the Resume Review Board doesn't do much more than criticize the interests line, haha. What business frat are you in?

Suck-it homie, I just wrote a fucking book to disprove you!
