"The attention I received from Wall Street Oasis was second to none. My existing resume was taken as a rough starting point before I was quizzed on my background and relevant experience and discovered that I had left important achievements out without even giving them a second thought. Within days, my resume had been reworked and "bankified" to render it more relevant to the investment banking summer recruiting process. Interviewers unfailingly complemented me on my resume, and I eventually landed a bulge-bracket internship in the group that I had always wanted to work in. My heartfelt thanks to WSO!" - C.A.
I think, in resume we can give all our bio data and educational qualification...! So we have to concentrate on our resume.

How long does it take to get the questionnaire after you sign up? I just signed up, got the PayPal confirmation but not the questionnaire

If you weren't redirected to the questionnaire automatically, don't worry, you will be contacted and provided with it within 24-48hrs.
Thanks

Resume is to show your qualification, your work experience and your other activities to the recruiter.
So try to put all positive things about your self.
A competently written resume can severely increase your response rate and significantly cut down your job search time.
A quick note on the Resume Review FAQ.
In the "My GPA is low..." question, the answer mentions a 500% increase.
Going from 1% to 5% is a 400% increase. Otherwise, keeping the 500% it should say "that is 500% what you would originally have".
I'm sure this would have been mentioned somewhere, but it stuck out to me while reading the page.
Thanks for sharing.
