Please crush my Equity Research dreams

Well i hope it won't come to that, but i would ask you to be brutally honest.
I am currently living in China and hoping to break in to ER as an associate at a boutique most likely covering Tech in China/Hong Kong.
However I will also be applying for BB and boutiques in the states, just to test my luck.
I have zero Finance work experience, and an E-Business major, but I have studied quite a lot of finance these past years.

Thanks in advance.

I don't like that font. Looks too science fiction ish. Stay consistent - same font for everything, just different size and formatting.

In your interests section, you wrote a sentence and not a phrase. Ergo, capitalization rules still apply. "Amateur"-->"amateur", "Passionate"-->"passionate", etc.

You have a good background, except there's not enough related to equity research on your resume. Delete some irrelevant stuff and expand on your business school an Linkedin Valuation. Mention specific approaches you used and analyses you conducted.

 

wow this is a train wreck i'm going to point out the non technical things

-don't talk about your son, or family life -did you seriously request for a certain level of compensation? -talk more about your work that's actually relevant to this job

packmate:

Yeah definitely take of the parts about your son and salary

Agreed. Just kill everything under the "Personal" section. The salary request is a horrible idea. If I'm not mistaken, you're asking for less than $50,000 USD (more like demanding in a weird way).

I would use a standard resume format because this format is very confusing. Also, there is very little on this page that makes me think that you want to do (or would be good at) equity research. You need to think about how the reader perceives what you are writing as that seems to be entirely missing from this resume. My suggestion: drop a little money and get someone else to write this over for you.
