Transcript of Financial job market
Employment in the financial industry provides
many openings for prospective employees, but it
takes a special person with the education,
previous employment history and a dogged
determination in this arena to succeed.

Where one begins in this industry is often just a
stepping-stone to where they strive to be in the
end, which takes years of persistent discipline,
intelligence and a tenacious attitude.

Career paths often change according to the
opportunities that arise during a person's rise in
the financial industry, and it is this ability to
smoothly transition, that finance recruiters often
find so appealing.

Characteristic traits that finance recruiters look
for are individuals that have a good knowledge
base of the financial institution, are compelling
and who are willing to work long hours towards
their goal.

A resume built from prior positions, aptitude,
and a willingness to explore other job options
will lead financial advisor recruiters to the front
doors of these new leaders in the
financial field.

Education is an investment of oneself
that is of particular importance for
the person headed for the brokerage
firms.

Whether choosing a position as a broker,
financial advisor or even management, a person
with a four-year college degree majoring in
business administration will put them at the top
of the list.

Obtaining this degree will open a path that
provides the most career options that he or
she may choose to follow. Although not
required, an MBA will almost certainly
catch the eye of financial advisor recruiters
from only the most prestigious firms.

With today's economy and lack of employment
opportunities, many students who would have
normally graduated from their college, are taking
advantage of this time and choosing to continue
their education to move further up the ladder, while
setting themselves apart from the rest.

Finance recruiters are also taking advantage of
this slower economy and lack of growth period
to find only the very best from a field of
applicants.

They are focusing more on the grade point
average and class rank that individuals
maintain. They carefully scrutinize the practical
experience the applicant has gained along the
way too.

Potential brokers should look for positions as
an assistant at local firms in order to place
experience on their resume, which finance
recruiters will be looking for under previous job
experience.

It is important that the prospective employee
show that while in an undergraduate or graduate
program, they found a good internship in the
chosen field of interest.

Securing work experience for the resume
may even require the prospective applicant
work free during some internships.

A letter of recommendation is what the
individual should be working towards which
could quite possibly lead into higher positions
and salary later because of past work
experience.

These licenses are difficult, but the firm the
applicant chose from the financial advisor
recruiters will sponsor the employee during this
time.

Financial advisor positions in the largest firms
with triple A ratings typically require series 7, 63
and 66 licenses to move up the corporate ladder.
www.willis-consulting.com
Here, the prospective employees will be
courted by finance recruiters of their
choice.

A well-rounded resume in education, experience
and licensing opens the limitless possibilities
for the person that the financial advisor
recruiters from only the most prestigious firms
are looking to employ.
