Trying to break into HF - Review my Resume

Hey guys

A little background about myself. I graduated with a BSc in Psychology (yep, no academic training in finance) and I currently do back office work for hedge funds. I want to break into the HF world because I just like hedge funds dammit.

I've attached my resume and I would appreciate your feedback/advice. Feel free to share your thoughts on how to break in.

FYI, I am from Toronto. I have applied to a lot of positions and have never been called in for an interview.

Maybe you can figure out why

Thanks guys

Hello fellow Torontonian, I'd say fix the formatting. Aside from that, I can't say much considering WSO members ripped my resume apart haha (I made a post as well last week).

 

Thia resume is just trying so hard but going nowhere.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
