UK/US Resume for Summer 2010. cheers.

Hi. First time here so hi there everyone.

I'm studying in the US but will be on an exchange program in the UK. I have the passport to work in UK so I will apply through my exchange school ocr (hope that works). Please help with the resume. But as harsh and mean as you wish I can take it. I am looking at BB IBD and consulting. do you think I stand a chance for interview? That is what I aim for because I know I will land an offer if I am given 2-3 interviews. Also, things that I don't know if I should put on:

  • what should I drop, it is obviously a bit overcrowded
  • SAT score (1480/1600)?
  • interest (football/soccer, rugby, traveling (big time), art and art history)?
  • language (English, mandarin, cantonese, japanese)? should I?

HUGE THANKS.

No such thing as OCR in the UK. All applications come in through the bank websites.

  • Wtf, get rid of the colours. Wtf is this shit.
  • I dont see how name, email, address and phone will fit on the same line
  • state, USA should be sufficient. Including Town seems like overkill
  • Don't bolden random words under bullet points
  • No dates for UWC
  • Keep dates consistent, and include the months. "Jul - Aug 09" looks a lot better than "6-7/2009"
  • Squeeze the scholarships in bullet points under education. As a whole, education + honours is taking too much space
  • Experience should be in chronological order i.e. microfinance before famous private bank
  • No full stops after bullet points
  • Expand more on the private bank and research intern experiences.
  • Being a member of LAC shouldnt warrant 2 lines on your resume unless you had a significant position of responsibility in it
  • Executive Committee member; elaborate on what you did in the role, rather than what the role was. Same with hosting committee

You've got a lot of interesting volunteering related experiences, which is pretty standard for UWC students I guess. Resume needs a lot of work, but you have enough experiences to fill up a well formated one page CV.

 

hey thanks a bunch! perhaps the colours not the brightest idea.

updated one: http://www.razume.com/documents/11537

is this better? my question remains though: should i put in my language skills and interest? i guess my volunteer experience would suggest an outgoing & manageable personality, thus making interests somewhat unnecessary (by all means, correct me if i'm wrong) but language? Knowing 4 (ok 3.5) languages has to help right....

again. thanks a lot!
