Physical Commodities Help

Hi all,

I have been searching throughout WSO for help and information on physical commodities so I thought maybe by posting here people may point me in the right direction !

last year I applied and got the the final round of the Trafigura grad program based in Geneva. To say I was gutted not to get it would be a massive understatement. I was crushed.

I would do anything to get my foot in the door at one the the big trading houses (Trafigura, Vitol, etc) but I am coming up short. Don't necessarily need to be a junior trader either, commercial analyst or anything of the like would be just fine to start.

Can anyone help point me in the direction of where I can find help with calibrating my CV towards these companies/positions ?

About me: Business & Finance degree, CFA I, 2 year Citi graduate program completed, now working in small downstream oil co as an analyst.

Cheers,
