if you had alot of great tips why does it still look like shit (in terms of formatting)
too much white space need more details always though school was first
so much extra space... you need to go into the specifics of what you did
and remove "staying abreast the markets" from your interests that sounds really stupid (I actually laughed when I read it)
When I read the title I thought you were asking for advice on round 2 interviews here: http://www.shredit.com/careers.aspx
Great company btw - very timely in picking up our shred boxes.
you "strong excel skills" doesn't sound professional.
Switch it to "Expert proficiency in Excel"
Yahoo.com email address just doesn't seem like investment banking to me...

Added some additional details. I started to run out of space, so that should clear up the white space issue.
About the expert in excel comment, I was told to never claim expert proficiency unless I was an absolute expert or I risk getting ripped apart in an interview. For example, I am very good in excel, but I am not good at creating macro's in VBA or don't know all of the shortcuts. (I do know a lot of them).
Am I headed in the right direction in my description of tasks? Also, I have decided to completely remove interests because I can't seem to come up with one that people won't find hilarious. (Reading, staying abreast the markets, and avid sports fan were all no go's evidently).
Thanks!
Your formatting sucks, don't say expert proficiency, and put an interests section that doesn't suck back on your resume... it really is a great wild card to have...
As a follow up to that... how can you think that your content is arranged appropriately?
How do you have "Monitor concentration levels of portfolio in excess of $600MM" and "Manage syndicate loan portfolio in excess of $40MM" lower on your bullet list than "Assist supervisor?"
What you are basically saying is that your most impressive task on your entire resume is "Assisting your supervisor."
After that sinks in, the good news is that it's easily fixed... hope that helps, I was just being brutally honest. Fix your prioritization of content and change your formatting and you should see results.
Rufiolove - Now that is the specificity I am looking for. Much better than my formatting sucks. I would have thought the leadership / ability to delegate would have been high up on the list as well. Great point though I do see a lot of room for improvement in the prioritization of bullet points.
As far as my experience both being at the same company, I was shooting for a progression of responsibilities in my duties for each position. Should the analyze $300 million in loans stay at the first bullet point of first position? I have moved away from underwriting deals day in day out and have moved towards a supervisory role.
Thanks!
@ Matthias - Does an @gmail.com email address utter enough prestige worthy of investment banking? If not, perhaps I will get accepted into Harvard to secure my Harvard.edu address.
Don't criticize the yahoo comment - I kind of agree, gmail really is the way to go.
Your dates should be over on the right "Routinely perform bank analysis quarterly" - is it routinely or quarterly?? Develop/maintain should be develop and maintain As someone else pointed out, "assist supervisor" should not be your first point. Also, get rid of the word supervisor, use "management team" or something like that. Restaurants have supervisors. "More complex" - more complex than what? "Coordinate with CCO in drafting ..." should be "... to draft" "Underwrite/Analyze" - Analyze should not be capitalized I don't like how you explain what stress testing is... or rather the fact that you explain it at all. Too much white space - maybe mention relevant coursework. Excel should be capitalized I am OK with your description of learning VBA. Shows initiative, and that you don't claim to be an expert.
Hope that helps. Good luck
Dr. Joe, looks like I am outnumbered on the email dispute. Thanks for your comments.
Agree with the gmail, formatting, dates, and "staying abreast the markets"
The thing that strikes me most is that a third experience would really bring the resume together.
Any internships in college that would still be relevant, especially to IB? If not, its alright hope's not all lost. Good luck.
