Overall, your resume utilizes excellent use of statistics. Would it be beneficial for you to quantify the number of universities? Also, would it add value to list prestigious universities that you worked with?
Should "report" be plural in this context?
HI! When I was working in fixed-income finance, we used:mortgage- and asset-backed. Generally, I advise clients to avoid "assisted," as it is a bit vague. Same with "aided." What were you doing? More importantly, how? Why was it important?
You dont need a start-finish date for school, just degree date. Also, consider putting your awards in reverse chron order - most recent first. Honestly, your first-year student award isnt really necessary, or even Deans list - your GPA is high enough that its clear you did well. Could use those lines for other, more interesting topics.
Consider a highlights or similar section...Keywords might be useful. See my site for examples:www.keppiecareers.com. Follow link to transformations.
Consider blocking out less text next time.

Overall an excellent resume. I am not familiar with financial markets, so I am not sure about certain verbage.
Your resume looks fantastic, I've picked up a lot from it. May I know what font you used?
For headers I used style (under format) "TableMatrix", format"Times New Roman" and size "10". I also varied some headers with all caps or italics. For bullet text I used the same font and size with style "bullet 4". I have been told this format is used by Dartmouth MBAs.
Thanks a lot mate! Much appreciated.

Since this is one of the best resumes on here could you put up a template of it somewhere? This site should have a feature like that build in.
Hello Big4, you put my resume to shame. I am in no position to critique your resume. Nonetheless, please review mine and let me know what areas I could work on to land those jobs. If you don't think I can make it, do let me know, real talk is much appreciated. Thanks, cansung.
Looks very nice...Some suggestions to consider. Include more accomplishments. Think "resulted in..." and say how! Should the Lehman and Citigroup jobs be reversed? Dates are a bit confusing, as you have 2005 working for both.
Good luck!

Your resume is fantastic. I was just wondering if you could give me some advice and suggestions on mine! Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
Your resume is excellent. Thank you for sharing this.
Excellent format. Nice work with this resume. Continue with your great reviews for others.
Hey Big4, great resume! I have a question, what font/settings did you use for your headings like Citigroup or Lehman Brothers? I tried Times New Roman and it doesnt come out that way.
It is difficult to comment on potential to be hired without the the goals explicitly stated, but I would say that relevant experience is important. Ideally, employers (especially in the current environment) like to progression and commitment to a position.
One page is a plus - highly recommended.
Salary ranges are consistent with the relevant experience.
I like your format and the fact that you highlighted your achievements.
could you review mine please ? I have looked at some of your reviews and they seem incredibly helpful. thanks
Very impressive. Would you be so kind as to take a look at my resume, please? I could definitely learn a lot from your expertise. Thanks so much.
Great CV for Operations Division!
Thanks for your critique. Your resume is fantastic, and I am in no position to grade it (good or bad). I've used couple of your ideas in my new draft (v4). Could you take a look? I appreciate it.
As someone else notated, the dates seem to fit better on the right side next to the location. Also, you may want to consider making your header stand out more. I can't tell because it's blacked out, but do something bold and simple with definite character that will stand out when an employer first sees your resume.
Your resume looks great! Would you review mine. I would greatly appreciate it.
