View Resume
Remove this section. and dont have any paragraphs of text.
State this is your GPA. Make finding your GPA easier. Dont list so many couses, they are standard for MSF degrees.
Skills section is not bad. Try to use your laguage experience to your advantage when searching for positions. Add more finance specific computer skills. Bloomberg, Reuters, Stat programs.
This is more cover letter stuff than resume. I would remove. Most finance recruiters dont want to take the time to read a paragraph about you. They want to see your accomplishments in a format that is easy to read
remove. You already described the firm, no need to describe the position. Most people know what a research manager does.
normally Im against firm description, but in this case I think its warrented. Great international experience.
what was all this done for. I would look for a way to tie these items with the stuff you wrote about the position. How did your work as a research manager contribute to the 20% of fees earned? What benefits did your market studies provide your clients? Business is results driven, and the best way to get a hiring managers attention is to speak their language.
What does exposure to these systems mean? Are you capable of using them? If so, state it. Exposure can mean that youve seen it on somebodys computer screen....more description
I would move this section to under education. It ties more with your school stuff than just being listed at the end of your resume
Nice.
Have you tried playing around with different fonts for the headings?

A little congested.
Hihik, I agree you format is very congested. You need to rework your presentation and open the margins on your text to fill the page more eloquently. Regarding your school as you mentioned on WallStreetOasis, Clark is not a target school for investment banks. None the less, if you network with the right people and improve you job search strategy, you should find greater success. I think you will have a difficult time finding positions at top firms, especially in this bear economy. Figure out your strategy for approaching the job market, you may have more success at IBank feeder positions: brokerage, trustee work, rating agencies, etc. Then if you make the right contacts advance briskly might you find yourself at an IBank. Best of luck.
Not bad. Best of luck!
thank you so much guys
any comments on the content?
You definitely have some unique work experience. Best of luck!
I think your content is pretty good for the most part. You're not coming for a target school as someone mentioned, so you'll need to work hard to network with the right people. I don't like how you have an item for the investment group, but no bullets. Keep things consistent on the formatting side and try to quantify your content more.
i had a look on several high-rated ibanking resumes here and they all look more or less the same
i can defenitely re-format mine
but is not it good if it stands out from the rest of the pool? i mean, recruiter will see hundreds of similar resumes but mine would look different and therefore more likely to be remembered
dont you think so?
i agree that i need to open up some space on my resume, i'll try to experiment today and re-upload it
thank you again guys and keep the comments coming
You violated a CFA rule by stating you "progress toward CFA Level I." You cannot imply that you will pass.
