Just my personal thoughts:

  • Your most recent experience has paragraph-length bullet points. Try to cover each bullet point in less than 3 lines with a what, how, why, and the result (add some #s to make it even better).
  • Get rid of periods.
  • "20xx - present." Capitalize the P.
  • Don't know why that "Appeared before..." line is there. Irrelevant filler as it shows no result. Get rid of lines like this and add more depth.
  • Add an Interests section.
  • GPA?

Thanks for the input. I left the GPA off, because at the firms I'm looking at, its largely irrelevant. Ill give you some bananas if I figure out how.

 

I am not fond of the little bit of fancy font, some may be turned off by it. Consider something more conservative.

The very first thing I noticed is how you formatted your bullets under your most recent experience. You have one bullet, then the actual contents in several bullets under that single bullet. Don't use a single bullet, its either 2+ or none. Eliminate that first bullet, move the actual content over the same way you have your other experience and see how it looks. In my opinion it will look better.

I also echo the above advice.

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.

Garamond font is absolutely fine. It's actually becoming a lot more popular.

*Coochie - I was trying to save the 'how' and 'why' parts of my most recent experience for cover letters. Bad idea? And the 'appeared before line' - they were all pre-trial hearings, i.e. nothing of consequence ever came of them; am just trying to show I wasn't a total shitbag....

*Surething, I've seen consulting resumes in my old format; wasn't sure if that was acceptable or not.
