Hi all,
I am about to start emailing my resumes to the relationships (I hope) I have made during my networking efforts.
Its for IBD FT, and my focus is mainly boutiques and MM shops. I have made some changes to my resume so it'll be great if you guys can take a quick look and point out something that doesn't make sense/language is confusing etc etc.
Also, the resume on Razume shows up on two pages for some reason.

Thanks!

I think companies' should be just companies. don't use it's, use it is. It's seems very informal
I'm not in the industry and am just a student so won't offer any advice regarding content.
Seems like you got the template off M&I. I would suggest splitting up the work and activities into 2 sections.
If razume displays your resume on 2 pages, then your formatting is screwed up. I'd strongly suggest you to fix it, otherwise your recipients might end up getting a 2-page resume and deleting it w/o even taking a look.
Also, for future reference, don't be a dick and don't use caps nor word urgent in your thread unless it's very serious.
If you upload a .doc it splits it into two, it does it to me as well but if you upload in PDF it's fine.
I completely agree
Yacht_man is correct. First convert it to pdf, then upload it to keep the original formatting on one page. However, the quality decreases a little bit when you upload it as pdf. Razume kinda sucks.
My apologies for the dramatic subject line, did not get much of a response last time so wanted to try something else.
Yacht_man, thanks for the pointers, will make the changes
Banker88, man I have been going back and forth with having leadership & experience in one section, and then splitting it again...I guess having them under separate sections is a little clearer after all
put in a pdf, .doc is not a good format to use and there's no excuses for formatting errors when they can be avoided
in that vein, the following formatting choices jump out at me:
The indentation of double major seems pointless.
the double indentation of gpa seems more pointless
I would never have multiple sentences in a bullet. It forces you to use a period for the first and none for the second, which is just awkward
"engaging in direct discussions" - so what? lose it
EV/Megawatts should have spaces between words, equityvalue is not a word
change investment banking analyst intern to investment banking summer analyst
split up work and activities, as said above
you use 05 etc format for some months but 4 for others (ie, with/without zero) - be consistent
agree that you should never use contractions in formal writing
"the regional I-banks" - don't use I-banks in a resume, don't describe them like that, and it is too similar to the bullet below
lot of work to do here, especially on the bullets. try harder
wow thanks drexelalum, I will make those changes. For changing the title to investment banking summer analyst, I started off as a summer analyst after my sophomore year, and then stayed there for a year until June of this year, so i can't really put 'summer analyst'?
and just to be sure, I should always send my resume in a pdf format?
