ER entry level

Hi,

I am looking for opinions. I would like to get an ER position but not sure where to start. I have been working for a major financial services provider for the last year or so as a Trader. I am currently studying for CFA level 1. Series7, 63 and 66 licenced. I have a BA in Finance and Accounting. I live in Cincinnati, Ohio but willing to relocate. Any ideas on where I should start looking? What kind of language should I use in my resume? Thx!

What kind of "trader"?

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
