pretty female: 1 resume review = 1 kiss
Sorry to disappoint, but I am a guy.
Now that I have your attention, Please kindly help review my resume.
I am currently at senior at an non-target University. I will be graduating on December, 2013. As of right now, I still do not know what I want to get into. After looking at my resume, I hope everyone could help me answer the following 4 questions:
1). How competitive is my resume? and what are my career options?
2). On my last semester in college, would it be more wise to focus on job search or more beneficial to have another internship.
3). How bad is my GPA? ( I am Asian, Yes I know its terrible to have an 3.4), since I plan to get an MBA in 2 years
4). What field/industry would you suggest me going into to give me the highest return based on my resume?
Thank you my fellow Monkeys.

you cunning man.
Well played, sir.
With that said, the only advice I really have for you is that you should not ask strangers on the Internet to make important life decisions for you...at least not for free.
Outside of that, just prepare yourself to be beat mercilessly as soon as people read this post. Best of luck to you.
Regards
So... About those bullet points on your resume. Has anyone with any experience looked at this?
Bullets 1-3 say absolutely nothing. Be much more specific, particularly when it comes to your actual role. Ex: Reviewed, created and implemented financial strategies? Right... Definitely sounds like something an intern would be doing.
Way too many action verbs.(Ex: analyzed, audited, updated could easily be replaced by just updated) Glaring typo in bullet 4 (profit and lost?).
Bullet 6: Organized reports? What does that mean? Participated in the Q1 executive meeting? By that do you mean listening to the earnings call in your bosses office with the phone on mute?
Bullet 7: Again, no need for 3 verbs. Also, this will help you a lot: http://garyes.stormloader.com/its.html
I'd personally give you an incredibly hard time for listing the number of hours of volunteer work on your resume, but that's just me.
You got me...
I agree with the above poster there are too many action verbs which get annoying after about the 5th bullet. Overall you can reduce about 20-30% of your resume to make it more concise and readable, when I opened up the file all I saw was a confrontation of words and letters.
Fortune 20 IT Company: If you used excel or some other program to do the financial analysis say that you used that program specifically. If there were any successes that came about from your efforts include that if they're concrete. As the poster above stated: you're mixing up your its and it's, if I were reading this I would throw this resume out.
Financial Publishing Company: Get rid of 2nd bullet Combine 3rd and 4th bullet, 4th bullet is a continuation of 3rd. Say something to the effect of "I helped out an analyst with his research on stocks and bonds with X Y and Z metrics".
Non Profit: Get rid of 2nd bullet
Get rid of the part about the restaurant
Training: is Discounted Cash Flow and Leverage Buyout model supposed to be capitalized?
If you're a native English speaker include that
Get rid of the WALL OF TEXT. If it was recruiting season and I saw your resume after working 12-14 hours straight, I would toss it immediately.
@sharpie what? his resume is written in English.
You have an extra space in "merger model" at the bottom.
Proofread your English. Things like "Sorted mail packages, copied, scanned, shredded files, filled, and reviewed donation receipt" -- use a semicolon. "helped maximized over 40,000 subscribers' wealth"
Skimming it saw many more.
