Need Urgent Review: FT Consulting, PWM

I am a senior at a target going into full time recruiting - I have a pretty extensive background in consulting but am looking to get into IMD/Wealth Management. I need to submit this to a firm on Wednesday so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Any tips on how to make this more finance-oriented would also be great.

From a quick glance: 1) Wayyyy too much info on your consulting internship. Nobody is going to read all that. Trim it down a lot. 2) Publications should not be its own section 3) If you need to fill up some space after trimming down the internship, make your header different (i.e. address on separate line from phone, email) and add some spacing between your experiences

 
  • You have periods after some month's abbreviations and not others. I'd spell them all out, as June should not be abbreviated to three letters (neither should July or May), which makes consistency difficult

-If the consulting firm is MBB, I disagree that there is too much. Also, I feel it is fine for publications to be its own section, as long as they are reputable journals

-I'd cut out (former high school player)

It looks pretty good though, you should easily get interviews for PWM, which is the main point of a resume

 

Thanks for the advice so far...it has been very helpful. I don't want to specify which consulting firm I worked for, but it is a top five firm. I'm going to try and trim down the consulting section a little but I am hesitant to cut too much since it is the essence of my resume. Any suggestions on what I should cut specifically?

In addition to PWM, how does this look for consulting? Any more advice would be greatly appreciated.
