Hi all-
First time posting here. I am currently entering my junior year at a state school in New England. I am aiming to go into the PB/PWM field. I currently have an internship in the mutual funds department at John Hancock. I would love to be at one of the BB next summer, and have been doing TONS of networking, including lots of cold emailing, which have (to my surprise) led to a lot of information interviews with companies like UBS, MS, Wells Fargo, ML, and others.
I would love it if I could get some feedback on my resume, and get some insight if this would be the type of resume that could get to a first round interview. Please comment or send me a message directly, thank you all.

I just graduated, so take my advise with a grain of salt.
I'd take off any and all highschool activities from your resume. Unless it is something that could turn into a networking commonality- like being an Eagle Scout or something- It just wastes space, and shows me how little you have done in College. Do you have any other activities from College you could list? HS jobs should only get 1 line say you did them (just so I know you could be an employable person), and unless you play sports in College, professionals don't care.
I had my resume similarly formatted to yours (with HS stuff and whatnot) when I was a rising Junior, and once I had Ibankers tear it apart, I started getting way more interviews. So you're on the right track!
Thanks for responding,
As for the high school thing, that was a worry of mine. But I talked to my brother (IB at BB) and his buddies, and they said that the varsity sports and community service, even though it was high school, was a great thing to show. Other than that everything on the resume is within my college career, and obviously as I do more things in college I will replace the high school aspects of the resume.
Just trying to get some opinions if I would have a good shot making it to the 1st round interview.
Yea, the template is horrible. Google WSO or M&I's template like astfin said. The single best thing you can do is connect with banking alumni and have them tear through your resume with a red pen. Works wonders.
