One day on the job, opportunity knocked. His boss asked if Landon could create a spreadsheet for a special client portfolio project.<\/p>\n
Landon not only created it, he became the primary data-entry person for the project. This was the beginning of his professional experience for his upcoming career in finance.<\/p>\n
Landon was able to stay on at his internship and, by his senior year, was on track to accept an entry-level position in any financial services firm. Just before graduation in 2019, he put together this resume. He is using it to apply for a position at the firm where he is currently interning, as well as other financial entities.<\/p>\n
Things to note about Landon\u2019s resume for a job in the Finance sector:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Because his B.S. in Finance is new and highly relevant to his objective, he placed his education information near the top of his resume, just before his professional experience<\/li>\n
- Highlighting an internship is a great way to tell the employer he’s a hard worker: He held down a job while going to school full-time.<\/li>\n
- Achievement statements are modest, yet meaningful. As he is new to the field, Landon doesn’t use dollar signs and percentages to state his value. Rather, he uses industry-specific keywords and special achievements from his college years. This is excellent for the accounting field where modesty backed by a good work ethic is appreciated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The overall look of the resume is clean and straightforward. In fact, Landon chose a resume format with lines because he felt it looked organized and represented his professional approach.<\/p>\n
