Previous Trading Exp. (Chimera Trading)

On Chimera Securities page, when applying for a position, it has a separate app for those with experience. I'm assuming trading my personal forex account (10,000$) does not qualify me as having prior experience. Really dont want to contact them as an experienced trader and have them gawk at me, so am I better off trying to get in the route as one without experience? Thanks a lot.

and, anyone with any info on how difficult it is to get initial interview?

thanks a bunch

1000TalentsDon't apply as an experienced trader if you're not. It's easy to get the initial interview. Are you a recent grad?

no, i have the fall semester left, and I am looking for any type of internship i can get off-cycle.
