Roast my resume, please!

1. Sure! Here are a few general tips to help you polish your resume before applying for internships, especially at Big4 firms:

   1. Objective Statement: If you have one, make it specific. Instead of a generic statement, highlight your goals and what you can bring to the table.

   2. Experience Descriptions: Use active language and quantify your achievements. Instead of saying “Assisted with projects,” try “Contributed to three successful client projects, enhancing efficiency by 20%.”

   3. Skills Section: Tailor your skills to match the internship. Big4 firms look for analytical skills, teamwork, and technical proficiency. Be specific about software or tools you are proficient in.

   4. Formatting: Ensure your formatting is clean and professional. Use consistent font sizes, bullet points, and spacing. Avoid overly decorative designs that might distract from the content.

   5. Education: Include relevant courses or projects that showcase your skills and knowledge relevant to the internship.

   6. Extracurricular Activities: Highlight leadership roles or significant contributions. Instead of listing just clubs, mention specific initiatives you led or participated in.

   7. Length: Keep it to one page if possible, especially if you have limited experience. Be concise and to the point.

   8. Proofread: Check for any spelling or grammatical errors. A clean, error-free resume shows attention to detail.
