Help needed to improve resume and cover letter (for career change)
Hi, I am hoping to switch career, from teaching to financial analyst (or anything in the financial industry). Hope you guys give me some opinion on how to improve my resume and cover letter
Cover Letter looks great! I didn't actually read it (like what HR is gonna do), but the bullets will make everyone's life easier. It is a very good way of getting straight to the point. People are just gonna skim and make sure there are no mistakes. So you passed the test.
Your CV needs work, just go through my post on resumes I am quoting below:
Any more inputs please
I would get rid of the objective statement, it's pointless and shows naivete. The professional study bulletins look weird but then again I don't have anything along those lines so maybe somebody else can contribute to whether or not that's how you should list those.
Are there any hard numbers/facts for the start-up? If there are, you should definitely include those.
And a minor point just cause I'm a CS major, you may want to define your expertise with your coding languages to avoid hellish interview questions. Then again you probably won't even be questioned about them unless you end up in a quant field.
Wonderful suggestion! Thanks SirBarney
more help will be appreciated!
where do you see his cover letter ? i cant find it.
In your career change resume, you have to tell the story of your transferable skills to hiring managers, explaining how qualifications from your previous career are still applicable and relevant. (Here are tips on how to have a successful career transition overall.) Whether it's because of a shift in the industry or a shift in your interests, there are lots of reasons to make a mid-career transition. Here's how to get started developing your new resume.
Identify Your Transferable Skills
Get to know your new industry! Read job descriptions and industry news to gain a sense of the skills that employers require.
Determine Which Resume Format Works Best for You
A chronological resume — which lists experience from most recent to eldest — may be the most commonly used resume format, but that doesn't mean it's the only option out there.
