UPDATED Shred my resume please

Hey guys,

Transferred from a non-target to a regional target earlier this year, so my first semester here.
Current sophomore, planning to apply for MM and BB SA IBD 2015 and BB ER and AM for summer 2015.

Please tear my resume to shreds. Spacing looks like shit, I know.

Thanks!

EDIT: I've attached a revised copy using the WSO template instead of the M&I.
Thanks guys

  1. Too much spacing
  2. Too large of font (12 looks childish IMO--11 if you have enough experience)
  3. How good is your SAT/ACT? If 31+ for ACT or 2100+ for SAT I'd throw it on. Additionally, I'd move your GPA to below the non-targets name
  4. Your sub-bullets indent too far
  5. I'm hoping this is just a conversion error, but if not you cannot leave that much space at the bottom of your resume
  6. Be consistent and always put the location of the activity

Overall, why is the spacing this bad? Makes everything else really distracting. If you need a more compact looking resume, I just switched to the WSO template vs the M&I. The content here looks decent and it will fill out as your internship this summer unfolds. The only problem I see is that you seem like you may be overstating: do you really generate investment proposals? Are they taken seriously? How much assistance of negotiation do you really do?

Anyways, you certainly are a strong candidate--I would just generally say come to WSO with a little more polished version.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I just switched over to the WSO resume template and now it looks a lot better. Only thing is there's not enough room for me to put the additional information section. I'm guessing I would be fine without it, but do you recommend cutting something out so I could get the skills and languages section in there?

 

Remember career services advisers may be stretched to thin and even if they aren't, they almost certainly have never gunned for a position on Wall Street or something nearly as competitive, even. Some are very good at their jobs, but most are there for the kids in their freshman or sophomore year who have never completed an internship. They are there to make your resume acceptable not perfect.
