Podcast - The hiring process at top financial firms

Hey guys,

We've been working on a podcast here at Achievable and today's release is definitely one of the best things we've made for this community so far. Brandon Rith, a former Fidelity instructor for over a decade, walks you through how large financial firms hire, including a breakdown of what the recruiting team is looking for at each step of the process. At each step we share how to how to maximize your chances of moving on and get that elusive job offer.

Our podcast is on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, TuneIn, and Podbean (phew) under Achievable Podcast, or you can listen to our podcast on our blog.

Enjoy!
