you did not say which is the highest, 1 or 10
10 being the highest
Is it really necessary to list out the topics in CFA L1? I would assume most of the places you're applying to would know what it is.
Very good point. Hopefully I'll be a C.F.A. Level II Candidate by tomorrow
4/10 To be brutally honest, you don't have a lot of substance. Assuming your still searching I would start cold calling small AM firms in LA, SF, SD and seeing if you can do an unpaid internship where you actually get some coverage or research experience.
Thank you for the insight. I need to go over my resume again. The only problem with me listing my GPA is that its a 2.9. In terms of substance, its missing because none of the jobs I've done so far has provided any. I've learned new ways to look at life, but nothing really to put down my resume.
Do you suggest waiting to cold call until I find out the results of the CFA in July?
You need to list your GPA if you recently graduated. I did not notice it.
OP,
Just a few points after a quick glance:
Hope this helps and good luck!
.
I would start now. There is a thread on here somewhere that talks about the art of cold calling/ perfecting your pitch. Your going to have to have a great story to pitch or sell someone that you will work your ass off for them though with those stats. Chin up, but definitely have your work cut out for you. I understand not listing your GPA if it is a 2.9.
Another route is getting some somewhat relevant work experience and applying for msf or mfe programs. Great that your sitting level 1 already. If you knock that out it will definitely help your search.
