I noticed two typos in the second sentence of the cover letter. The first may be excusable, the second isn't. I would suspect that's an auto-ding for most employers. I just glanced over the rest of the cover letter and suggest you run it by a writing professor at school to help nail down grammar and comma placement. Also, it's a bit wordy/lengthy. Try to stick to the norm and I'd stray away from posing a question half way through, they know why they're reading your application.

As for the resume, do you have any awards/recognitions you can list? Involved in any clubs you could list as an experience?

Get rid of the language skills line, fix the bullet points, add something to break the flow up (everything runs together, can't tell what are different sections at a glance), and EXPAND on what you've done. If you've only had a couple of experiences and only have 3 bullet points of information to say about them then that's not a good sign.

Good luck!

Three things on your resume really stuck out (other than the ones that were not already mentioned): You have random commas (like after "omicron delta epsilon," which by the way, isn't really an activity), you have inconsistent spacing (for example "...events,Day Trading..."), and your bullet points are different sizes and too far to the left, so you obviously did not copy your words into the M&I template. Actually, there are a few things that make it obvious you didn't copy this from the M&I template directly.

You need to sit down and actually put effort into this thing. Your resume is really sloppy, and it leaves the impression that you don't really care, or even worse, that you are just plain incompetent.
