Would a non-finance related bachelor's thesis on cv intimidate recruiters?
Dear friends,
My goal is to break into finance, either S&T or Research. I have just finished my bachelor's thesis in Economics and have received a very good grade at it. I was initially going to write a thesis within financial economics but my mentor was not into finance at all and said he wouldn't be able to give any advice if I wrote about finance. So I chosen to writing about immigration.
When I've been on interviews it has sometimes been brought up by the interviewer; "Oh, so you're in the end of your Bachelor's, what do you write about for your thesis.". And many cv:s I've seen include the thesis topic etc.
What do you think about this?
why would you even include your thesis on your cv
its totally optional, most of the people i know never include it, even when finance relevant..
Yeah, I never thought of doing it until I saw others doing it (for example the ones here on WSO (cv-help section).
But let's say I get a prize for my thesis, then I would like to include it, would it be considered strange that it's not within finance if I apply for a job within finance? I know it's a long shot, but would really appreciate some thoughts on this :)
not sure if "intimidate" is the right word...
Yea but you got what I meant
Who do you think these people interviewing you are, finance robots? I know it sounds crazy, but it's allowed - dare I say encouraged - to have interests outside of finance.
