Putting a 6 month full time 'finance' job on CV as experience?
Hi all
I graduated with a non-finance social science masters degree. My first job was at Bloomberg working on the help desk. Ie. I am the person replying to you when you pushed the 'F1 Help' button. I did not like the nature of the job and have quit since.
Coming from a non finance background, the basic financial traning bloomberg gave me was top notch.
I am debating as to whether I should put that 6 month experience down on my CV to show that I have had some experience in finance (so that I can leverage into FO markets jobs) or Or would it make me look bad?
Thanks!
What was the best question ever asked of you?
Post your resume, it really depends on what else you can put on there.
You went to LSE? Why aren't you working at The Goldman Sachs?
Priceless.

Would you leave 6 month back office job outta CV?
I only have this 6 month BO job and a FO summer internship in Trading.
No
yes i want.
Have you done anything before or after. If you've worked a few years in a FO role, or another role for that matter then sure. If you have no other work experience, no. Any experience is usually better than none at all
Leave it on, especially if the FO internship came after the BO role. Shows you have what it takes to "transition" to the FO.
