... thats what she said
Let me guess, you attended baruch and now attend Notre Dame, U of Mich. or the much less likely U. of Chicago.
Your resume is fine.
wtf is 'knowledge of spanish'?
i have knowledge of jesus....
There's a fatal error that will get you dinged because you didn't check your content properly. I'll let you figure out what that is. (hint: it's somewhere in the middle)
No, I'm not trolling.
Is this a troll? Your resume is obviously very good. Looking to get some extra validation or something?
A few things:
Include your minors in the italicized line under your school to save space
Fix the spacing between your two schools. This is a huge error, and probably what Bruce Wayne was talking about. If you can't format your resume properly, you will get dinged.
For your second school, make the GPAs consistent--pick 1 digit or 2 after the decimal. You can't have it both ways. I am assuming you're rounding the first GPA up, so you're going to have to round the second one down. Consistency is paramount.
I stopped reading closely after your description of your first work experience. You need to work on your writing. There are lots of awkward phrases, but here are two examples that are flat-out incorrect. 1) You "analyzed" 12k scholarships into a database? Do you mean "compiled"? 2) "Non-for-profit" should be "not-for-profit."
I could keep going, but you need to work on this yourself because resume writing can often be a process. You don't learn anything if I do it all for you. Also, as I read on, I noticed the error Bruce Wayne pointed out. He's right -- you'll definitely get dinged for it. Correct the dates on your small tech startup experience.
As stated earlier, you need to spend some more time on this resume. Surely you are capable of better, since a lot of your errors right now stem from poor attention to detail.
the error is the dates listed for the work experience
Yup, that's the one!
also, you shouldn't use "our" in the bullets for the first job. good luck
If this is for on-campus recruitment move your schools to the bottom above skills & activities because everyone knows what school you're at.
Remove useless crap like saying the panel "of experts"... just say bankers, Yale doctorates, etc.
Basically you have too many words on this page for a college student, half of them probably don't mean anything.

Ummmmm, what the fuck. For your small tech startup, it shows you started in October of 2011, then you went back in time to August of 2011 to complete it? LOL....
1 Take out "Minor" in "Major/Minor"..no one cares
2 it's obvious that you lack programming like VBA, etc (i.e. technical skills), but citing "Adobe Photoshop" is elementary at best...
My two cents
Anyone else remember when CaptK posted that "ass rape my resume" thread
OP, I think with a good amount of time spent on polishing it up, your resume will look pretty good. The content is good, but the format and wording is not. Spend a lot of time working on bullet point, make them concise and free flowing. All the small things are easy to fix. It's a process, good luck,
