How can I find a job in financial service industry?

  • I am an international student and just got my MBA degree in Toronto, Canada. However, I dont have any working experience. Right now I am trying to find a job in financial service industry because I am very interested in it. I don't mind to take any entry level position of this industry but I just don't know which kind of job is better for me.  I think I will start to take CFA exam as long as I find a job in financial service industry.

  • Answer:

    Identify the top 10 target companies you want to consider working for. Research those companies to understand their markets, their customers, and their cultures. Build your network of contacts to include people inside those companies, and do as many informational interviews as you can. Ask those people for referrals to others inside the company. Build your resume/CV with a very clear objective of the type of position you are interested in, based on what your research and informational interviews have uncovered. You want to position yourself as the answer to a hiring manager's problem. Subscribe to your target companies job boards to find the obvious opportunities, and let your network of contacts know what you are looking for, and ask for their help in networking to hiring managers, reviewing resumes, and getting job leads. As you work through your top 10, start building your next 10, and repeat. If there are opportunities that present themselves outside of your target list, you will need to evaluate them on a 1-off basis.
