Sales & Trading LinkedIn Review

“As a career change applicant I was unsure if my linkedin was ready. Im happy to say that Brandon was not only encouraging but was also able to explain what on my linkedin worked and what needed adjusting. I would gladly work with Brandon again and recommend him to anyone else interested in sales and trading or hedge funds. ”

“Had an incredible call with Markus, he really dug deep into the micro and the macro of what exactly i need to do in order to get the edge on other candidates. I really enjoyed his direct way of speaking as I learn best from blunt feedback. He has given me a lot to think about in terms of what i can do on a day to day basis which i really needed. Even though the first call did not happen as he missed it, he was very open as to why and I didn't feel like it was forced so i really do appreciate that.”
