Hey All,
First, I want to say I have been lurking around since I started studying for the FE exam 6 months ago. I passed and I must say I owe a lot to this board with the various problems you guys posted.
Second, would anyone mind giving me a few suggestions or comments on my resume? I, like many others on this board, was unable to have an internship during my undergraduate program so I feel like that is holding me back a little. I'm looking for a few fresh ideas to add to my resume.
Once again thank you for taking your time out and looking at it. I have probably changed this about 50 times since I graduated and the career services at UNLV hasn't been much help for me.
It won't let me post a .doc file for some reason so I will just copy and paste. Under course highlights and computer skills they are bullets but the formatting isn't copying over.
Thanks,
William
