Opinions in using 'investing' as extracurricular section in resume to show interest as a lateral hire wanting to move into finance / transaction advisory?
Hi all,
Been trying to revamp my resume. I'm an engineering consultant (~2 years of grad program in big engineering consulting firm in an infrastructure advisory) wanting to break into big4 or boutique infrastructure advisory / transaction deals teams where it's less technical and more deals or transactional. Would like to go into project finance or infra PE down the track.
So far, my resume is just work exp, education, skills/interest and extracurricular.
For my extracurricular, I have put a few bullet points explaining my investing portfolio approach.
Primarily it is value investing in compounders so that involves looking at fundamentals and reading up on the business for what I think will lead to long-term success like capital allocation and high insider ownership.
Then I have another bullet point for just how I like junior miners for re-rating potential given board expertise in de-risking and financing.
These are just very high-level concepts but figured it's a better way to show my interest than just slapping more work experience projects (which are more engineering technical), whilst keeping it one page.
What are your thoughts guys?
Cheers
Ok to mention but recommend you have several other non finance oriented interests listed (if they truly are interests of course). Otherwise people will think you’re just a finance robot and won’t be fun to work with.
