Hey everyone,
I'm hoping to get some brutally honest feedback on my resume.
Here is my situation: I’m currently an Economics & International Business undergrad. I am transferring to the University of Mannheim soon and will be relocating. Because of the move, I am looking for a new working student (part-time) job in my new city.
My absolute dream career is to become a Financial Analyst. I know the industry is shifting, so instead of just relying on Excel and my traditional banking/operations internships, I’ve spent a lot of my free time upskilling in the modern data stack (Python, SQL, R, Power BI).
To prove I can handle complex financial data, I built the data-driven finance projects you see on my resume (cashflow forecasting, financial efficiency analysis).
My main concerns:
- The Finance/Tech Balance: Does this resume position me well for modern Financial Analyst / FP&A roles?
- Too Tech-Heavy?: Are the project descriptions (mentioning 80% confidence intervals, ggplot2, etc.) too technical for finance recruiters, or does it make me stand out?
- General Polish: Is there anything you would cut, rephrase, or format differently before I start sending this out to companies in my new city?
Any general feedback, roasting, or advice on how to position myself better would be hugely appreciated!
(Note: Personal info like phone, email, and exact location have been anonymized for this post).
Thanks in advance!
