What wrong with my resume? Is it the content or format or presentation?

Curious to see responses. I'm no resume expert, but it doesn't look bad to me? Structurally, it's the same I used for myself: Education -> WE -> Additional Info. Some people might advise you lead off with your work experience, but I like yours having education first.

My format is a little different. I found a few resume compilation PDFs of second years from places like Wharton and essentially copied their template. You might change the font color on the digi url to black.

As far as content, you've quantified various points as most would recommend. Might try to add some bullets to the digi startup, and reduce the space given to additional study. Take out the last interests line, it's not adding much value.

I'm just curious as to who said your resume is bad? Did a school provide feedback and state it was lacking in certain areas?

Your work experience is probably on the low end for most business schools, and you don't go into much detail in regards to the company you founded. "High Profit Margin" means absolutely nothing to me. Perhaps you can detail what your sales are, how much you've grown the business, and how certain marketing strategies are increasing page views, click throughs, and duration of visits. Quantify everything!

Do you have any extracurriculars after graduation? I see a couple listed during college, however I don't see anything listed since you have graduated.

Bullet two of your primary work experience lists "financial literacy" three times. Is it necessary to repeat the phrase multiple times? Is there another way to say this?

To answer your orginal question, format and presentation look fine to me. The area that is lacking is content.

Definitely put the Education after Work Experience. The entire resume should flow in reverse chronological order, not just the work experience section.

I am not a resume expert by any stretch of the imagination, but this was shown to me as an example of a good resume. Most notably, yours differs in formatting and doesn't have a 'qualifications' section, but the language in your experience certainly seems results-oriented (which I think is what we MBA applicants want), so I'm not really sure of what you're troubled by on your current version.

Also, SINGAPORE! Love the place.
