thecoldburns^ agreed.

I thought items like passed CFA Level 1, 2, 3 could be summarized into Certified CFA etc. Also, lack of power words.

Nice, NUS grad. Just completed your bond with MOE?

Certified CFA? Um no... that said bump your CFA to the top of the list since that is the most prestigious one you have. Also just say FRM L II candidate, as written it seems like you're candidates for both. I might be wrong but I was pretty sure they changed it from one big test to two. Correct me if I'm wrong. You're obviously very smart you just lack a solid finance gig. Find one of those and you should be solid.

 

I don't know why (maybe it's the late hour) but when I saw...

FIND A TUTOR Founder

...I started laughing uncontrollably.

Oh, and I'll give real input after you switch to the M&I format.

@FutureBanker09: If I put FRM 2, I am worried adcom that I have taken FRM 1 @Nouveau Richie: I was wondering whether should I put that in as that really quite minor. But I have too little experience. @eriginal: Ok, I get my ass started to change to M&I

Ahh, you misunderstand me; I apologize for not affording you more clarity.

I was literally only making an innocent remark as to the word play of Find/Founder (hey, it was 3am and I was about to go to sleep), sorry for the confusion. If I were to criticize a man for his perceived accomplishments, I would at least elaborate with some details.

He's got a 750 GMAT and is CFA certified..

To that end... nothing else on your resume says I'm a finance guy; it's not essential, but would probably help. Clearly you are smart though.

Go to Bschool. FUCK.

@melvvvar: I don't like being one too. Was automatically enrolled into the army when I was born. But how do I makes MS wants to hire me? Suggestion? BTW MS stands for Masters Finance and I am looking to get into a school and not job.

@BepBep12: How do I portray myself as a finance guy?

 

Actually I did a 2.5 years National Service where I serve as guardsmen (something like US marines). No war, no impressive records and my rank is only a corporal.

I was wondering whether to include it in the resume as all of the people in my country serves NS and the norm is sergeant or officer. The Adcom director is a local himself.

 

Pls bash me. The harder the merrier.

I work in a educational environment. The coworkers there are too nice to the extend being sissy... Any f word is frowned on and even how bad you are, they will keep encouraging me. I despise the environment. I love finance forum as some comments can be crude and rude. This should be how we learn and improve

 

750 GMAT and CFA? Dayyyyum.

Consider an MBA, son. And change the format to Mergers and Inquisitions format or Wharton format.
