I suggest taking your personal info off the resume while posting on the site...

-You must include GPA. If you have a strong GPA you will start to get interest. -At UW you joined the club - NA of Latino professional? -Your education dates should say Graduated August 2013.

-For additional skills, everyone is proficient at excel, word, powerpoint & outlook. Try to think of something that will differentiate you..

That's what I see glancing at it quickly.

 

Noticed the above, plus:

  • "China International Capital Crop"
  • "Generated weekly student valuation reports for each individual"
  • "Acted as an Ambassador by delivering presentation with the general manager to Colleges programs"
  • "R. Twinings & Co Ltd"
  • Date formats inconsistent

Capital Crop? I know that Twinings tea is produced by R. Twining & Co -- it says so on every package -- and would ding you immediately just for that.

My observation based on this resume is that you lack the attention to detail needed for a career in finance and should consider other options.

 

Thanks for replying! I was asked what I was selling based on this resume, so I thought maybe I should specify the product. Bad idea. and I don't understand what did you mean by: "China International Capital Crop" - "Generated weekly student valuation reports for each individual" - "Acted as an Ambassador by delivering presentation with the general manager to Colleges programs" Any hints?
