Need some help!

Hi everyone,

I've sent my resume to quite a few bankers, and after not getting many first rounds at my campus recruiting I decided to ask around and figure out why. One banker finally decided to be honest with me and basically said my resume sucks and to make it better. I made his recommended changes but wanted to get more feedback before sending it back his way. I'm not sure how to elaborate more on some bullet points so anything helps at this point. Thanks for your help!

A lot of blank space. How are you going to make it in finance without some skill in the art of bullshitting?

Maybe provide some description of the fund you worked at? AUM or some meat on the bone for the specifics of what you did? Ideally, you could point to something measurable you improved....I know it's likely not possible, but try. Measurable accomplishments are much more meaningful than fluff.
