Trying to break into finance/investment (alternative investment).. Does this resume hold up?
http://www.razume.com/documents/16721
I just graduated and I'm lacking internship experience, except a four month one that is ending that prepared me fairly well for what's ahead (my boss came from upper tier schools and a very well respected consulting firm).
I need you to be brutally honest about this resume, because I need it to be impeccable if I'm going to get an internship or job in this industry.
My dream is to get into alternative investment, although that may be a long shot.
Let me know what you think, I appreciate the help.
Anyone? This is kind of time-sensitive as I'm applying for several important positions very soon.
I appreciate the help!
I am so so with the format. Get the M&I format or go on the Boston College MSF site and get their template. I think your resume is OK, but nothing special. Not being mean, but you don't have any capital market internships so that will put you are a huge disadvantage. If you can start interning for free or do a masters and intern you would be in a better position.
Trust me, I know I'm getting in the game late.. I basically squeezed all I could out of my internship in the bullet points, correct? Or do you see some extra maneuvering space there?
To be honest....your past experience will not likely get you into the door for a top finance job. The market out there is still very tough, and you will be competing with top teir sudents and many of whom graduated with at least 2 internships in capital markets/finance area. Your best shot will be network really hard to get the connection.
I agree, I got that internship simply to get some experience with excel, market research, some modeling, etc. It was a good introduction.
I know I'm behind in the game and I'm willing to wait until I have the right experience to go for a full time position at a decent firm.
My next goal is just to get my foot in the door to the world of investment and secure a meaningful internship. I'm also trying to network to the best of my ability just in case I can grab a full time position somewhere.
I should have elaborated on where I was more, but there you have it!
Thanks for the critique!
