Former professional athlete need help with cover letter/resume
Good morning!!
Long story short, I am a former professional soccer player who is looking to make the transition into a banking career. I left the U.S. at the age of 19 to play professional ball in Europe, came back and played here as well. Represented the National Team a couple of times also. I have my MBA in Finance, graduated with a 3.8 GPA, and have been a Director of Programs at a personal training company in Chicago for the last year. I am interested in Basel II, risk analysis, and sales and have always been a numbers junkie. I know that I should mention something about my soccer career in my resume, but I do not know to what extent?? My biggest question is if I should include any of my soccer achievements/experiences in my cover letter?? I would greatly appreciate any advice because I am extremely eager to break into the industry and start using my brain not my legs :) Thanks
I definitely would mention them, and try to play those experiences off as something that has made you ready to make the transition (I.e if you wanted to go into trading you could talk about the pressure involved in representing your national team, etc)
