Humiliate my Resume

I am sending my resume to an IB analyst today that I talked on the phone with. I completely overhauled it, since it was major trash before (maybe still is). So please do not hold back and let me know what you think.

Also what is the general opinion on professional summary? Recruiters seem to recommend it, but not sure if it is necessary.

Here is the link: Removed since I sent the document

Thanks, I appreciate the help, criticism and comments coming up!

Few quick changes that need to be addressed first. 1. Change to Microsoft word and expand margins (and eventually save as pdf). 2. Definitely use a font such as Times New Roman. 3. Be careful with periods at end of bullets. Be consistent and have it be an all or nothing deal. 4. Noticed one of the bullets still had present tense for a completed internship. Should be past.

Side note: personally I’m not a big fan of a professional summary, I think it makes more sense to have those aspects outlined in a cover letter when you eventually apply. I think you should stick with just your experience on the resume. Again, only just my opinion so

 

You NEED to get it down to 1 page. The only people who should have multi-page resumes are people with years of professional, relevant, full-time experience. You are an undergrad. Your resume will be immediately thrown away just by the simple fact that it's two pages.

Some of the bullet points have an extra word that makes the bullet point take 2 lines. You need to cut these down. Either one line, or if it's a longer sentence, two lines but only for those sentences which will fill up most of the two lines. Make sense?

Also I would delete the professional summary and most of your activities before 2016. They are irrelevant, and at this point not really representative of your current skillset anyway.
