1) WAY too much white space. 2) English is NOT a language to list on your resume- that is for other languages you speak (and arguably, only languages you are fluent in). 3) Technical skills are supposed to be relevant for the job you're applying to- Microsoft Office doesn't count as a technical skill. Perhaps you could get away with listing Excel if you are really good as a sophomore, but I'd say at the Junior level and above (at least) you are largely expected to be proficient. I don't know if Photoshop counts either, and if exposure to HTML means you barely know anything about it, I don't know if that one counts either. 4) Consider putting the Accounting Assistant above the Valet job because it's more relevant- you can organize your resume by relevance rather than chronologically. 5) It would absolutely be worth it to get more relevant experience before the summer- if when you say you're applying for an internship at a BB you mean IB, your resume probably isn't competitive enough yet in all honesty. Not saying you can't do it with some good networking etc, but if you have the opportunity to beef the resume up, then by all means do it. Probably exactly the same advice if you're looking for non-IB, FO roles. 6) GPA is obviously impressive but bear in mind that a bank will take someone with more experience and a solid GPA over someone with a relative lack of experience and a stellar GPA. 7) Flesh out your investment club entry- don't be afraid to say you can build a DCF etc if you can. Can you?

Thanks-helps a lot. I only put the irrelevant information to fill space, also- I feel like it shows I have various computer experience and skills. Would you put DCF under investment club or skills? I haven't been able to go to the club because the meetings interfere with a class of mine. I am definitely going to find some sort of internship before the summer. Do you have any other tips on ways to fill it up? Also, by relevent can that be an intern in a finance department at any random business? thanks again
