Ross has their own resume format, use it...or M&I or something, just re-format it. There's way too much white space at the bottom.

Besides that, your frat is not a part of your education. Putting down LSA just to put your econ minor is wasting a lot of space and you won't be getting any degree from them so I'd just put it under Ross. There are no numbers whatsoever in your work...translation, it just looks like a ton of BS. "Helped increase profits" looks like BS, "Increased profits 10% via blah" doesn't.

 

SirBarney, thanks for the advice- I'll try to include more numbers

gstackle32- you wouldn't believe it, but literally I had the luck of the draw and was forced to do it because of the Greek Life quota bs

 

Your minor doesn't deserve a whole paragraph. Just put "minor in economics" under your major.

Your dates are screwed up. 2012? What is that? Is that summer from June to August? or did you do a semester abroad and it was January to May? Don't just list the year - list the months as well.

Can you walk me through your resume in Korean? If you can't, take off your languages. Someone might call you out on it.

And yes, Go use Brian's template on M&I.

 

The bullet about your being an "avid fan" of Manchester United seems pointless, to be blunt. Volunteer at a soccer camp for kids with disabilities and that bullet all of a sudden becomes a hell of a lot more meaningful.
