Summer Analyst Position 2011
Hello everyone,
I am interested in a summer analyst position this summer. I would prefer investment banking, but I am open to other positions as well, such as sales and trading or equity research. I was wondering if you guys may critique my resume and tell me if there is anything I should change and how can I improve it. I am from a non target university, but a slightly more known one, usually ranked around the high 40's to low 50's.
What do you think my overall chances are at getting one of these positions, not necessarily in a bulge bracket, just anywhere in the industry?
Thank you for any help, I appreciate it.
You need to be more specific and quantify. For example, you state that you "assisted investment advisors in developing asset growth strategies for clients by research various financial instruments across various market". What kind of instruments ( bonds, options, stocks, CDS,etc). In terms of numbers, how large where this client accounts in terms of assets?
Thank you for the comment. I will try to do that. I would really appreciate more suggestions. Thank you all in advance for any help.
-Either round your GPA up to a 3.6 or add an additional zero at the end of 4.0, your current GPA setup makes it seem like you never learned sig-figs. (I would count it against you, it shows a lack of attention to detail.)
-I can't stand when people break off their coursework into little bullet points, just list them horizontally and separate with commas or semi-colons.
-Break your major and minor into separate lines.
-Independently of the content within them, all your bullet points in the Experience and Activities sections look awful. You need to fix it so that second and third lines of a bullet point don't extend past the physical bullet above them. If you can't figure it out, you could always press enter then tab.
-Why did you keep the language anonymous? Unless it's something like Rama, it's a factor that will give you away on a message board like this.
Thanks for the comment. I should have mentioned that the bullet points just became formatted like this when I uploaded my resume. They are actually properly formatted. I am actually interested in any content advice anyone may give me, as well as my chances for finding some kinda of a position. Thank you.
Regarding your chances, how "non-target" is your non-target? CalTech and Carnegie-Mellon are both non-targets, yet so is DeVry. If you could give a hint as to where your school stands, that would certainly help.
Also, to fix the formatting problem on razume, simply convert to a pdf BEFORE uploading to the site.
Can you post one with the formatting cleaned up?
I reposted the resume with the cleaner formatting and I edited my original post to explain the university.
Some more comments regarding the content and my chances would be greatly appreciated. I would love more opinions. Thank you for any help.
