Need some resume feedback
Can someone please give me some feedback on my resume please?? I have completed a few internships and would like to go in to banking.
For some reference, I am at an Australian target university and have ~ 3.5 GPA (USA Scale). I would really appreciate feedback on my resume as I have little to no knowledge of the banking industry.
Yeah nobody can read that
Sorry I think WSO messed it up. I have updated it. Hopefully you can see it clearly now. Thanks
Looks much better now
This is blurry as fuck but can I see “Sci-Fi movies (Marvel & DC)” as an interest? I’d ding you just for that alone.
Hope you can see it clearly now. Looking forward to your feedback. Thanks
He just gave you some
Some thoughts:
Employment:
- convert paragraphs into page width sentences. Shows that you can both be concise and forces you to focus on the absolute highlights only.
- I'd remove "remote" and replace with the office you were working for. Some may contest that this is lying, but as long as your working for the location I think this is okay as almost everyone is working remote/hybrid now.
- Noticed some bullets have colons in-between points. If you need room, adjust with custom spacing. The tighter, the better
Education:
- Just masters, no undergrad?
Skills:
- The soft skills I wouldn't put. Takes away space from the rest. Also resume will only get you into the interview based on achievement and networking. You have to show these skills when asked behavioral questions
Certifications:
- Usually reserved for securities exams, CPAs, CFAs, or courses (WSP). So who's the issuer of these certs? That should be listed and emphasized
Interests,
- Remove anything that someone under the age of 15 would have. Need to know why you'd be cool to work with for 80+ hrs before speaking with you.
- Personal finance is not an interest. Elaborate on gym, maybe health and nutrition, or consistent weightlifting. Music, elaborate, genre? Pottery, favorite thing to create?
- Keep squash that's unique and a convo starter
Thanks for your feedback. It does help me in understanding how bankers view Résumé’s. Do you think that based upon my internship experience, I have a chance at a analyst position??
Yeah please remove Marvel and DC and lego as interests.
