pretty funny J's, but seriously. Do you have any advice? I know you're a professional. Your input would actually be cool to hear.
I think an objective/personal statement is a nice look on a resume if the job doesnt request a cover letterYour resume looks good to me...and the only thing I could think of (and I've heard varying opinions of doing this) is including some sort of a personal statement. Best of luck to ya, bro!pretty funny J's, but seriously. Do you have any advice? I know you're a professional. Your input would actually be cool to hear.
what's the point of mentioning how many shoes you have?
some of your descriptions are awkwardly worded: "Evaluated budgets of 200 organizations via budget record analysis in order to allocate budgets effectively."
you have several words that have an apostrophe... "hosting's" or "reporting's"
I would encourage you to try to recreate your resume, but only use half as many words. just as an exercise. it will help you determine what is most important, and what's really just filler.
Nice resume bro...any tips for Money & Banking class?
What font is that brah?
It's not bad but it doesn't jump out at me - I tweaked my dad's a year or so ago when he retired (was a doctor and was applying for some p/t stuff when he retired at 59) and I think it looks good. In a pile of paper resumes this stands out a bit and it looks clean and interesting without being fussy. His was 2 sided - for a specific position like this he had to list all his qualifications and current/past positions. Definitely don't go more than that though.
I would agree that I would definitely take the bit about shoes out - there is no way my resume would say 'is currently an admin on a very large internet message board' unless I was applying for something that it is really relevant for. It makes you sound a bit weird. We think it's cool that you have 500 shoes - but most people look on 50 pairs as being really strange.
The last part isn't great too - I would make it a bit more personable - use your hobbies and interests to say something about you. Most people applying for these jobs will have good experience so you want them to think they will be an asset to their company. A couple of hobbies but written as a paragraph would look better IMO.
Most people I talked to told me to have a hobbies section on my resume. It makes you stand out and not look like a mindless zombie and can be a good conversation point within an interview. I have no issue with the sneaker section. I also have a personal statement on my resume but its very generic. "I hope to land a positon that enables to me to blah blah blah blah and contribute to the growth of my employer"
Yeah I've always heard two lines max myself. I didnt even have that, cause I wanted to put hobbies that were "corporate friendly". Beware though, they actually do remember what you put or at least keep your resume around, cause I put down that I like camping even though I've never been and now I gotta go camping with some coworkers eventually. SMHYeah, you're right about that. It's always encouraged to put hobbies and interest in your resume. But I've heard from several people that you should only use about 2 lines for that section and it should be at the end of a resume. Again, this applies for finance jobs, because a large part of the hiring process is "fit" and companies will not hire you if they see that you're not a great "fit" with your perspective group. Remember, you're going to work about 10-11 hours a day. Would you want to spend all the time with someone you can't stand?
I think you have plenty. Most college grads wont even have what you have to begin with, and you have two high profile internships, you'll be fine. There isnt any room to add stuff being that you're a recent grad you have to follow the one page rule. I would just leave it as is.Also, quick question guys.
I've had an internship with UBS doing Wealth Management a couple of years ago after I left my FOA job of 6 years.
The problem is that I didn't do much during the internship nor was I apart of many transactions. At most all I could come up with was 2 bullet points. Should I put it in there as another credential or just leave it out?
Another problem is that it would be in the middle of my Investment banking internship and my Full Time Job as an FOA. The bulk of my experience comes from working 6 years as an FOA and I would really like to highlight that in my resume, but putting UBS in the middle and FOA at the end would counter produce that. I have no choice but to put the FOA job last, because it's in chronological order.
What should I do? Am I lacking anymore experience or job I add some more? I'm really running out of space though
reminds me of this cat I used to work with, his linkedin page is full of ducktalesWork Experience is week , nobody will hire you , you need to LIE and LIE the more experience the more you qualify
