Undergraduate Consulting Internship Resume (Analyst) Review Please

Hi all,

I have a non-consulting resume here and would like some candid thoughts and strategies to make it appropriate for consulting.

I fear my experience is not impactful enough and would like to present it in the clearest form possible to eliminate concerns.

EDIT: Looking at my experience now makes it seem like a joke, but I have met with consultants who tell me I will get an interview, at least (they haven't seen my resume).

Thank you

 

Fairly strong. Few minor criticisms: -don't centralise section headings (move to left) -just call top section 'education' -make the subheadings for your 'experiences' consistent -more details in your work experience - talk about how you added value for the startup and how much etc

I personally do not think it is that strong, don't you have any actual internships or work experience other then all your made-up/school stuff?

You seem extremely smart but just doesn't seem to make sense. Why would you take GMAT so early when it only lasts 5 years?

You are a VP of something? No idea if it is a real company or not since so much is blocked out.

You founded this and that but then also have bio research, professional musician, financial modeling (finance), airport screener person (

Thank you for the feedback. I personally agree, and those are my major concerns.

I attached a clean slate version.

I will be applying for next summer's internships in January.

The GMAT was taken as I was asked by my old students and my friends to tutor them. It only took about 10 days over Christmas to study, so not a big investment. It's not that tough compared to LSAT/MCAT/etc.

I just started university last May and am fast-tracking (4-year program in 2.5 years) so no internships have been possible (most require 2 years of school where I am). This school was the only one that didn't require 4-5 years to finish.

Also, I am in a relatively unknown school's second campus with little active recruitment by anyone, so opportunities are rare. I have had interviews after extensive networking, but the successful applicants are highly qualified, target school juniors with experience (who are now actually my friends, so I know them personally).

The start-up experience is too new to place on a resume, I suppose, but I lead North American business development and entry strategy for a platform that many business students use in Europe. It was blocked out for privacy as it is easy to find me.

The research experience was in the last year of high school, when I led an 8-month project at a Cancer Institute for a biotech competition.

I toured in a band for a couple of years after high school and was a manager at the airport to pay to go to university.

Would you have any suggestions on what to remove specifically? Most of it?
