Roast my resume
Freshman getting ready for summer 2025 recruiting. Roast my resume any advice is appreciated. It’s a weird hybrid of the usual WSO template.
I got an offer I’m taking as a summer acquisition analyst for my old boss at the plumbing company. I’ll be helping him with IOIs, LOIs, some modeling and market research. It’ll likely go into the fall semester or even spring if I choose to. He sold his main companies and is starting a holding company / PE firm focused on the trades but I was told I shouldn’t put it on my resume until it’s started. He's already gotten a few IOI's out so hopefully will get to work on a live deal sometime in the fall. I’ll have to probably take off the marketing internship or my job as a swim coach to fit it in. I kind of feel like it’s too condensed but got good feedback from all my interviews, professors and upperclassmen friends.
I’m wanting to go into asset management, equity research or if possible PE, VC or pre seed investing in tech companies.
Let me what y’all think.
I do not like roasting resumes but will give some constructive feedback. It is not bad but it does not say investment banking. You had all of these amazing skills but they are not relevant for IB. If you were going for a Data Scientist/Analyst or junior quant, I would say it is an excellent resume, but I assume you are going for IB M&A.
I do think this is a buildable resume. I think this summer, find a job that is Excel and PowerPoint heavy. Something like an Executive Assistant, or a Corporate Finance internship. If you can find a local investment bank to hire you for the summer, that also would be awesome. Just try to find anything that has a lot of Excel, PowerPoint, income statements and balance sheets.
Another thing, take accounting classes. If you university does not offer them, go to Cousera, Udemy, Study.com. These will be helpful when learning the technicals for your interviews.
I do think the plumbing company opportunity is awesome, just make sure it is PowerPoint and excel heavy.
I hope this helps.
