<p>I previously posted my resume, but now it has been updated</p>

3

<p>You put seeking a finance internship twice…</p>

4

<p>Your objective or headline seems so fabricated for a college student that it is better off leaving it out.</p>

5

<p>take out objective and limit each job/work experience section to 3 bullets. Most firms don’t give a crap about objectives because they know what everyone wants and everbody uses excel, word, access, and powerpoint so it is a given that you should know all those; therefore, no need to put it on the resume. Don’t worry if your resume seems short. Shorter is better because employers don’t want to waste time reading a bunch of crap, they want brass tax.</p>

6

<p>You should give it more bullets and divide it into section, also the part talking about what have you done with word,charts etc …it´s not important. Maybe you should get some help with online resume builder. i´ve been using [Resume</a> builder](<a href=“Nothing found for %5Dresume”>http://www.resumesimo.com/). It make it also visualy attractive.</p>
