Failed entrepreneur pursuing Sell Side S&T, Hong Kong

Hi All,

I'm pursuing a sell side S&T job and was hoping the wall street oasis community can help to criticize the format/content/whatever else regarding my resume is greatly appreciated.

Please be as critical as possible.

That's a struggle dude.

UBC/SFU are not good enough to get in even if you weren't a failed entrepreneur. You might have a good shot with PWM, or the other way is to cold call alums from UBC/SFU who are based in Hong Kong and go from there.

I would advise to do the latter. It works really well in Asia, especially when everyone is so passive.

 

List your GPA. SAT Score. High School GPA --> one/two lines. Remove solicitor experience and expand on your experience on PWM's internship focusing on communication with internal teams/clients. Remove the strengths --> looks lame and tacky.

 

My guess is that you are probably somewhat connected/related with some corporate boss at ASE. Start from there. Resume looks not coherent.

Dont bullet point your school. Dont bluff your continued education at HKU as if its a formal degree/education. LIst what's actually relevant or what you are actually very good about. Last thing you want is list some coursework on your resume and be picked apart by the interviewer.

Take out the strength part. it sounds lame.

And for your startup experience (sounds more like import/export to me), the bullet points should not be what have you done. it should be what have you achieved.

 

Nihil voluptatum aliquid ea voluptatum tempora ad. Et alias id non laudantium aperiam. Fugiat aliquam rem culpa nisi alias.

Et et ea modi aut. Sit autem pariatur molestiae reprehenderit placeat rerum sequi. Reiciendis rerum molestiae non et odio suscipit. Nemo autem veniam eveniet asperiores architecto. Qui similique aut voluptates et et nobis.

Nemo ad non debitis officiis vel. Quisquam molestiae praesentium autem occaecati.

Impedit dolore qui recusandae tenetur reiciendis illo. Atque dicta dignissimos porro rerum. Sunt rerum maxime ut quod molestiae.

looking for that pick-me-up to power through an all-nighter?
