[Decent Exp., Strategy Associate, Corporate Strategy / Consulting / Ops roles, USA] What is wrong with my resume or my process???

Looking for blunt feedback on this resume before I keep sending it out. Background: consulting/strategy work across financial services, FMCG, and infrastructure, plus two master's degrees, currently finishing up and job hunting for a US-based strategy/consulting/ops role. I am doing a dual degree having a partnership between the US and French Business School. So I graduate in Dec 2026

I run every application through a structured tailoring process before it goes out like matching the resume language to the job posting, checking it against a scoring model, and rebuilding it to fit one page cleanly. I'm not going to get into the details of that here, but the version below is a representative baseline, not tailored to any specific posting.

What I want feedback on:

  • Does the summary read as too generic or is it fine as a floating baseline?
  • Are the bullets landing as impact statements or do they read as task lists?
  • Anything screaming "entry-level dressed up" vs. genuinely associate-level?
  • Formatting/readability issues from a skim-in-6-seconds recruiter read.
  • Also, I have sent out almost close to 200 applications in the last 1-1.5 months and I have barely got any interviews that are not assessments. So any help is appreciated!!

Thank you!!
