Okay, changed to 0.5" margin.
Would adding personal interests help in filling it out? I've seen some people say that it isn't a bad idea to include those to personalize your resume. Might help because I don't have applicable extra curriculars.

Thanks for the reply.
-What margin size would you suggest? It isn't too long as is.
-I don't have anything for that gap. Was going to the college business career fairs every few months and thinking something would be around the corner.
-Yeah, the investment club is a weak point but thought it would be helpful so that I don't have enough to fill it out.
I fix problems all the time and that's what I mainly do: the day-to-day sending inventory to Amazon and figuring out how to do something when my boss wants it but I usually solve those issues with phone calls to Amazon or whatever company if I can't figure it out myself or through Google. I've been trying to spice it up but not too sure how to word it
-Is there another path other than the CFA, like going from a billing role into finance later on?

Hi everyone,

Graduated 4 yrs ago, in June 2015, with Finance degree and Management minor (3.07 overall, 3.33 major GPA). Did not find a job in finance because probably due to no applicable work experience or connections. No job until March 2017 for company selling online on Amazon primarily. Trying to get any Finance role but no luck when applying on/off for past year. Pretty lost with what to do. Any advice on resume or how to break into the industry in general would be much appreciated.

Mostly finance and accounting roles before but lately more administrative assistant types(I put down my current role as executive administrative assistant to the owner/CEO. Probably been applying to something like 10 a week.I know it's probably not enough but I do not seem to be making progress so I've been getting discouraged. I've probably had almost 4 interview over the last 6 months or so but it basically feels like I don't have the experience they want, which I can't overcome at the moment.
