Would greatly appreciate Resume Review!

Hello all,

I have just finished updating my resume and wanted any input you great monkeys can give! Please feel free to give me any input good or bad! I am trying to move from a MO/BO internship to an IBD or S&T position at either the same bank or at a smaller/boutique firm since I am from a non target :'(.

Thanks again!

Why settle for less? I've heard of plenty people moving from the wealth management area to S&T or IBD - although that's for a second summer internship. Have you tried getting in touch with people you worked for and sincerely asking them to refer you to someone in IBD/S&T? If you're completely sure you wouldn't go back into wealth management, I personally don't think it'll hurt. I've heard a lot of internal mobility comes from networking within the firm.

As for the resume, I think since you have the space for it you might consider adding a couple details about your activities if you play an important role. Also maybe keep it consistent and start the bullet under the "Individual Achievement" for Team 2 into an action verb like every other bullet? Seems small but I've been given the same critique. Same thing with "Interests"... Can't hurt to right?

Disclaimer: My own resume has been critiqued by 20+ professionals and I'm just relaying some of the things they've told me, but I'm not working in the industry, so take whatever I say for whatever it's worth.

I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.
 

thanks for your great input AH, i am actually talking to a couple of the members that worked at my old wealth management job who used to worked at wire houses, hopefully i can get some good leads

For one thing, unless you are still working at those banks right now, I would change the end date so they say June 2010 - present. Also, don't mean to come off as too nit-picky, but "current events" isn't much of an interest to list. Also, maybe expand on one of your activities to fill some of the space near the bottom. To be brutally honest, if you are a senior you will have a tough time finding a FT job with your experience. If I were in your shoes, I would start reaching out to people in S&T that you might have connected with at your BB.
