Rip my resume apart - Equity research

Please review my resume. If you're asking about the weird spacing, that's where the names of the student clubs, competitions, awards, etc go.

I'm looking to move into Equity Research, and I'm interested in the O&G Equipment & Services sector but would be willing to start in any sector.

Rip me a new one

CaliforniaAnalyst:
let's make it simple for others to look at it

you graduated from a non-target canadian school last june currently working for a pwm sitting for cfa ii speak latino gpa around 3.5

you have a chance only if you network hard

Thanks for the cliff notes. Is there anything I can re-word or perhaps add in order for my resume to stand out? And yes I know my chances and I'm networking and demonstrating my strengths in person I'm just trying to demonstrate my qualities on paper

looks very solid overall imo, but a couple of things...

make the font for your name bigger. it should stick out above everything else on your resume personally i would list stuff in order of importance, since recruiters are not going to spend a ton of time looking at your resume dean's list is fine but it isn't going to help your cause much. i would move it further back

if you're looking to move into equity research, i would try to highlight your more research-oriented experiences as mentioned above, move points related to this up in their respective sections, and also go into greater detail when possible on research-related stuff

also quantify results with numbers if possible

ex: for your PWM point, the most interesting point, and the point that has the most potential, is the last one about "competitive and research analysis". -go into greater detail if possible. this point is really vague and doesn't really give the person reading it any idea of what you actually did. did you look into specific companies and their future prospects? valuations? etc? be more specific also "created a competitive and research analysis" has a typo in there

for your trading competition stuff, I would go into greater detail on the Excel models you created

 

I think overall the resume is formatted pretty cleanly/looks alright.

Do you need to list your Brazil college experience? Seems like it takes up 3 lines unnecessarily since you also have Portuguese listed in your languages section at the bottom.

As others have mentioned, try and add more quantitative information in your resume. Note the exact (estimated, if need be) number of projects you completed, how many dollars you managed in the fraternity, etc.
