Resume for trading - what to focus?

Hey there,

In general, what kind of things/skills/exp that I should focus on when writing a resume for a trading position? I know that this really depends on what kind of exp I have, but I just want to get a rough idea what kind of things that traders are looking for. Thanks a lot.

Aside from the obvious: trading experience/showing interest in financial markets/entrepreneurship sports is pretty good to have.

For BB general sell side it is good to have a combination of quant ability (math major etc) and sport/entrepreneurship

For prop shops its very good to have anything thats more technical in terms of science/math/programming
