What to NOT include on my resume
I am updating my resume for the upcoming school year, and I am including my summer internship. However, I am concerned about the level of detail I should go into.
This last summer I worked at a hedge fund and was primarily responsible for accounts payable. However, I did have some other interesting assignments that I feel might be more applicable to IB.
For example, I was put in charge of creating a powerpoint presentation for a director based on his notes. I feel like this might be something that could directly translate into IB, but it also seems like a very small accomplishment to include on a resume. Should I include it?
Also, I was put in charge of forecasting the income statement of a small private company (owned by the PM of the fund). It was a great experience and I learned a lot about financial modeling. However, it was not the most scientific forecast. The company was in the red, and while I based a lot of the forecast on revenue, I also relied heavily on management's future operating assumptions. I am going into my junior year in school, and I hope to land an IB position this summer. I just don't want to be in an interview and be called out for my unscientific forecast. Would I be better off including this experience or not?
Thanks for the help.
Resume gets your foot in the door and it's okay to embellish to get noticed. The reviewer won't know what role you played or how significant it was. Just put it on. As long as you're not blatantly lying.
