Hey guys,
I will be applying to secure an entry-level position in finance this Fall, and I would greatly appreciate your feedback regarding my resume. My focus for the recruiting season will be on BB banks, PE and buy-side firms in London, NYC and HK.
I was not able to secure a solid finance internship this summer, partly due to the fact that I have to relocate to the UK in August and to prevailing market conditions; but I think that I compensated with some other activities.
The schools on my resume are all in the top-3 of their respective countries.

Thanks!
Why the fuck are GPA, GMAT and AWA bolded?
Lose the "Candidate"
Lose the cumulative, in the absence of any other qualifier that is what people should assume you gpa is
Does this "scholarship offered by" have a name? Doesn't sound very impressive
Your work experience is described well, but I don't see the relevance of anything you've done to banking. Sounds like you might be a good match for a quant role if your computer skills were more advanced; as is, you seem more like a candidate for VC
@Drexelalum11 -- thank you for your comments; you raised good points.
As for the relevance of my work experience, I would agree that I havent done anything directly related to banking yet, but I will be seeking a first FT position so hopefully that can work out. Moreover, I think that I can be competitive in a finance interview setting.
Anyway, if you can think of ways in which I could modify some of the elements on my resume so that it looks better suited for banking, I would greatly appreciate to hear about them.
Thanks again and keep commenting
Without knowing what else you've done, I can't think of what might relate more. Your bullets are pretty good, I just imagine you have other experience that might be more relevant than what you've described. Still, assuming you go to LBS, I don't see why you'd have problems getting interviews.
Can't be LBS. Need at least two years work experience to get in.
take the gmat and awa off
post some revenue #s under the company you started
Don't listen to everything drex says. My resume was checked/rewritten/formatted by two paid professionals, as well as at least 5 different bankers. My GPA is bolded and no one ever said anything about it
You don't need two years of experience to get into LBS masters in management. You need two years of experience to get into the masters in finance program but not the masters in management. That said, LBS masters in management is still a great program and should have landed you some interviews.
