Please shred my resume! Be as brutal as possible

Fellow monkeys I have attached my resume and would like some feedback urgently. I have been applying for summer internships, graduate schemes, from everything ranging from Asset Management to equity research. But nothing is working. Really starting to get desperate now as I'm in my final year at uni and it looks like I'll be doing a Masters if I can't get anything.
Any advice or insight you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Honestly, it looks great, but if I were to 'look for something,' I would address these:

  • Expand the "Interests" section a bit if you feel like you can free up space. My initial thought was that 'You' are missing on the resume.

  • Toss in a "Skills" paragraph for the type of jobs where it is applicable. What I am implying here is that you could build a 2nd version of your resume for places where the application process does not provide your potential employer with this information. (E.g. I use it to show off my familiarity with several programming languages, as they do not really show up anywhere on my resume and would have no place on a cover letter.)

  • Personally I ditch the "Entrepreneurial" experiences and keep them off my resume, but that would be up to you. If you were to eliminate from that section in order to free up space, perhaps keep the pro-bono experience /Microfinance Initiative thingie/.

These are my 2 cents, but bear in mind that I was somewhat in a similar place about 2 years ago, so I do not really get to see resumes and judge them that often.
