“I recently had a LinkedIn audit call with Arnau as part of my WSO Academy program, and it was one of the most practical and useful sessions I've had so far. I came in thinking my profile was in decent shape. I left with a clear picture of how recruiters and bankers actually see it, and a concrete list of changes that will make it work much harder for me.
Some background: I'm moving from corporate finance into investment banking, corporate banking, and private equity. I have an MBA in Corporate Finance, a PMP, and several years of finance and project management experience. Making that kind of move depends heavily on how you present your story, and LinkedIn is often the first place a recruiter or analyst sees it. That's why this session mattered so much to me.
From the first few minutes, Arnau was well prepared, direct, and focused on what actually moves the needle. He didn't just give generic tips like "add a professional photo." He went through my profile section by section and explained why each piece matters to someone in finance who's quickly scanning candidates. His feedback was honest without being discouraging, which I really appreciated. He pointed out where my profile was underselling my experience and where it wasn't clearly showing that I'm aiming for banking and PE.
What stood out most was how he helped me think about positioning. My background covers corporate finance, project management, hospitality, and real estate, and it can be hard to make that read as one clear story. Arnau helped me connect those experiences to the skills banks look for: financial analysis, modeling, managing budgets and capital, and working with senior stakeholders. He showed me how small changes to my headline, About section, and experience bullets can make that story obvious within seconds.
The session was also very actionable. I didn't leave with vague ideas. I left with a short list of specific edits I can make right away. That matters a lot when you're job hunting and every week counts. He also shared advice on using LinkedIn more actively, such as engaging with the right people and content, so the profile supports my networking instead of just sitting there.
I also want to recognize the overall WSO Academy experience. Between the modeling bootcamp, the company research work, the mentorship, and sessions like this one, the program has given me structure and support during a career transition that can otherwise feel isolating. This call was a good example of what makes WSO different: the people coaching you understand the industry you're trying to break into and give feedback that reflects how hiring really works.
If you're a WSO member and haven't booked a LinkedIn audit yet, I'd strongly recommend it. It's a short time commitment, and the return is significant. Your LinkedIn profile is often your first impression, and having an experienced set of eyes on it is worth it.
Thank you, Arnau, for your time, honesty, and practical guidance. I'm excited to put the changes in place and keep building toward my goal of breaking into investment banking.”
What would you be doing at Uniqlo?
Honestly, you don't really learn any transferable skills as a bank teller. Depending on what you do at Uniqlo, I don't think it will make a difference (besides maybe the pedigree).
You might encounter penalties if you quit your job at Uniqlo. Check your contract closely!
Not sure havent started training, job title is sales associate and from what i have read it includes alot of folding. ok i will keep that in mind.
The teller position, could there be any accounting work that would be good to include in the cv ?
With the teller position there is a lot of room for growth. Right now you can be part time teller, then a sales rep, then an investment consultant, then I'm sure you'd be able to transfer to IB. It would probably be easier than not working there at all. You'll probably get paid more, but it will be a million times more stressful.
Terrible troll.
OP, I doubt that the teller job will involve any accounting work. However, having an experience is better than having none and you might get a good story or two out of it. You should also consider taking the teller job and then just network with boutiques/cold call/connect with alumni
If Uniqlo hasn't actually paid you yet, there shouldn't be any legal recourse or penalties if you suddeny quit (not that there should be any for a part-time, entry-level job). Even though a job as a teller won't add much value to your resume, you can lateral over to being a personal or business banking officer & actually learn some finance.
Teller positions dont require accounting. Just basic math and extremely good customer service/people skills, which of course is useful for any job.
Haters 'gon hate, troll so harddddd
i'd take uniqlo just for the discounts on collabs
This.
thanks for the reply, I might just stick the the Uniqlo position since its a more convenient location ^ & the discounts.
I would do Chase bank teller. It's probably better paid. Plus it's still a financial institution. Which city is this position at?
But in the end, it doesn't even matter.
