Remove this section and include the hard skill items in a section called "skills" (see my resume for an example).
Nice GPA, keep up the good work.
Your bullet points are very odd, go with a more traditional/professional looking bullet.
As I mentioned, quantify this experience much more! Especially for finance.
Add your skills section down here. Focus on Finance related computer skills.
Consider this order for your core sections "Edu.","Work Exper.""Activities/Leadership", "Skills"
Remove this section. Recruiters to not want to see this on your resume. Consider discussing your interests in an interview, if asked.

DaniNo, the content of your resume is not bad for a 2010 grad, but you will have to enhance your work experience section and reconsider your format/presentation. Prior to redrafting your resume, think about your overall job search strategy. Where do you see yourself in 3 years and how can you use your resume to accomplish your goals? Consider what recruiters want to find on your resume and now what you'd like to tell them. To that end, I would remove the summary section and the interests section. Use the valuable space on your resume to focus on hard skills and achievement oriented work experience. Your current work experience section lacks promise as you have not spent time crafting your bullet points. Turn "Trained new employees", which is a weak bullet into something like "Managed training program for X number of new employees for X result." See additional comments on your resume and best of luck. Be sure to keep your prior draft when posting a second to let members on Razume see your progress.
Well, thanx Big4. That's interesting. I just really wanted to see how my resume would fair on this site after I already secured an internship for the summer at a buldge bracket in a sophomore program where my resume was my main resource of being selected from thousands of people. thanx.
i love that my current resume "lacks promise".
Tell that to the 4 superdays I've attended and 2 I've been successful at.
My comments do not mean that your resume cannot get you an internship or position at a well know bank. Resume writing is more art than science. However, as a recruiter for one of the world's largest professional service firms, I can tell you that had someone decided they didn't like the look and feel of your resume, you could have very well not ended up with an interview. Therefore, it’s best to get a good deal of feedback ahead of time to mitigate such risks. Additionally, I do not know what school you are coming from, which will make a large difference at your stage. I’m guessing you’re coming from a good school (given you've blocked it out) if you used a traditional resume drop method for securing interviews. In any case, best of luck with your summer program and be sure to help other people out with their resumes on Razume or elsewhere.
