Asking a Financial Analyst About Resume Writing- Tips for Finance Majors

Back in 2019, my resume sucked. It sucked so much that I would use it as toilet paper if I wasn’t scared of clogging the toilet.

When I saw this financial analyst’s resume, I was shocked. It was so neat. We are the same age but his resume looked so professional at first glance.

That was when I realized why I hadn’t been getting any internships and any interview requests. It all made sense.

It took a while but I finally got the courage to ask him to send me a copy of his resume and I studied it for a while. It wasn’t until I was about to finish my bootcamp that I finally understood how to create a good resume. It took me SO long to finally figure it out.

But I’ve written a lot about my tips and tricks, so it’s time for a more refreshing take on resume writing. This time, it’ll be through the lens of a financial analyst who was originally an accounting major, but later changed to be a finance major. He just passed his CFA level 2 exam and will be taking the last one next year.
