Career Resources
to be honest it dont look too good. I highly suggest you focus on your leadership experience in the Marines and remove focus from the other 2 positions
So would it be beneficial to move the internship to second and place the USMC above and write more about that?
First glance not too bad. After a little more review you seem sketch as hell. Your resume comes off that you were fully enlisted but, correct me if I'm wrong, the Marines don't do two year enlistments. IDK man your story just doesn't really jive.
Would like to know as well.
The other thing is try to find alumni from your school who ALSO has experience in the marines / armed forces and exploit the hell of them. Ask them if they wouldn't mind speaking, etc., etc.... anything you can do to build rapport with them will greatly help your chances.
I dig the part about the little food/sleep for 96 hours.
I would definitely take "National Society of Collegiate Scholars" off your resume. Nobody knows what it is, and those who do know how much of a joke it is. One of my friends was called out on a ST interview for having it. He looked like an idiot and didn't get advanced.
He's in the reserves, that's why his resume shows NC (School of Infantry for 2 months), SC(Recruit Training-Paris Island 13 weeks), and NY(his current reserve unit).
I don't work in banking but heres my take. You might be able to network your way in if you make connections with someone of military backround an IB, with a lot of luck. However, those individuals will not looks twice at your resume as it stands and here is why. You are a Lance Corporal which is fine but you need to take out the non-sense about leading 40-60 marines. Maybe you gave one 30 minute class to 40 marines one time. Don't exaggerate, tell it like it is. Military types will read right through any bs you put down. I once read a UVA Resume for an Army Officer who "Conducted a LIVE Fire Exercise" in Saudi Arabia. That means he was the range safety officer for a training evolution, the same is the idiot at the local gun range with the Remington hat, full beard, and three teeth referred to as the rangemaster.
Hopefully you will pick up Corporal and when you become a fireteam leader, you can add that to your resume. Exaggerating your accomplishments is a way to ensure you don't get hired.
Great post marine13910.
Your best bet is to get in via networking with Vets who work in banking. They will be able to read through the BS.
Certain banks are more Vet friendly. I would work on finding those and targeting them.

Under your interests you list: value investing and day trading.
Those two are mutually exclusive; I wouldn't just ding you, I would suggest you be blackballed forever.
The additional universities you list seem unnecessary and don't really add value to the resume. My recommendation is to remove them altogether. Otherwise, you can try to make them relevant by listing relevant coursework, GPA, etc. from your brief time at each school.
