Hi all,
I've been working at a mid-sized asset manager in NYC since I graduated Hofstra University in December. I would reallllly appreciate any resume advice you could give me.
I would love to go into anything except corporate finance and would really appreciate. I'm seeking to upgrade to a more rewarding/demanding/respected buy-side role.
Any career advice would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
hofstraguy

Two questions.
What exactly is a CFA level I candidate? Do you really think it is wise to change positions after only 7 months in your first position?
CFA level one candidate is just meant to draw attention/notice to the fact that I intend to obtain my CFA. It isnt meant neccesarily as an accomplishment. I've heard mixed things about mentioning it.
Do you have any other suggestions?
My role now I believe has a limited future so I just want to plan ahead incase I am correct.
None other than reconsider leaving your first position this early. Also, you need to be registered for CFA level I to put CFA level I candidate on your resume. Just saying. Hopefully you've done so, just in case you're interviews by some douche who knows the technicalities asks you if you're registered and you say "no".
I'm out of my element passing judgment on this, but do people actually list things like "while working 20 hours per week" alongside their GPA, rather than maybe bring it up in conversation and that's it? It just seems kind of sophomoric.
Thank you. And yes, I am in fact registered and paid in full for December.
Any suggestions as to where I shoukd apply/look for jobs? Why do you think I shoukd stay that much
Do not put CFA Level 1 Candidate on your resume.
Instant ding.
