IB resume review - rising sophomore
Canadian university, not western or queens, just looking for any helpful comments and possible changes - was going to get this written professionally but I'm having a bit of a liquidity problem!
Thanks!

P.S: this resume will be sent to some contacts in consulting and Ibanking in Canada and London if that helps in any way.
-No full stops at the end of bullets, especially if you're not even going to be consistent about it -Round your GPA to one significant figure -"09/ 09/2009" - you have an extra space; also, you should just use years for school -Your top work location seems to have a full stop at the end; I can't think of any reason that would be -Middle East is a proper noun -You use "Jordan's" twice in one sentence -You need to give more details on your projects and what you did; leading with "worked on" is not going to impress anyone -"Researched over 5" - do you think I struggle to comprehend single digit numbers? -Write out numbers according to MLA rules -I'm not sure what this Canadian Finance Association is, but it looks like bullshit; I'd lose it -Is there some reason, other than your inattention to detail, that you have no divider line under your skills header? -How can you claim to be fluent in English and not know the difference between a colon and a semi-colon, neither of which were appropriate for the sentence? -No one gives a fuck if you can use Office, and I can guarantee you that you are not to any standard that would be considered proficient
Ok, it's actually my uni's finance association and the line got removed by accident. Cool it bud, I asked for advise not my ass handed to me - I'm sure you were the resume writing pro you are now when you were a rising sophomore. Thanks for the advise anyhow, very helpful - will post any updated version.
I wouldn't sweat anyone else being "mean" to you. Pretty sure no one is gonna help you with this resume now
Yes, lose your right to be treated on an equal basis when asking for advise, it's the price to pay.

HAHA
Everyone relax. If you ask for help on this board expect to be raped if you don't bring your A game.
Resume looks better. Is there a reason why the education is broken into two segments? I am guessing you transfered. I suppose this is ok, just looks odd to me. Maybe there is a better way to express your transfer without butchering your resume.
Kill the MS Office reference. Did you use Bloomberg, Matlab, SAS, CRISP, anything else?
Certifications and Trainings should go on the bottom. Put WS Prep with the trainings
The last digit of all of your dates need to match up
Do something with that bottom finance association. It is screwing up your chronological order
Microsoft Office should be capital M and capital O
Yeah, I used Bloomberg a few times - I can't claim anything more than intermediate skill at best in it though.
Made the additional changes, Don't know what to do with the transfer section but any suggestions are welcome.

Put Bloomberg down there then. Go play with Morningstar and put that down also.
Left out an important component in my SA stint! Removed the finance association part, I don't really think it's important to have - It takes too much space and throws off the balance.

Whats with the extra bullet point after relevant course work? There is just a bullet an no sentence after.
I had removed something and forgot about the bullet point, removed already but thanks!
Did you have a chance to work on any live deals? If so, you should include that even if you were there for the duration of summer.
Wow, I can't believe somebody actually helped out CNB90 after his rude comment....... I guess his school's career resume review service isn't upto par with schools like U of Toronto. My career centre gave my resume a nice cosmetic lift.
What is wrong with you?
Alright guys, I've taken all advise extended from this board and from outside sources and I'm quite sure I've finalized my resume. Thanks to all those involved and if you have any further comments then please share!
