This talk is open to all CQF Institute members and would be particularly valuable for students and professionals considering different careers in quant finance.
Abstract:
With specialised skills that are in high demand around the world, quant finance professionals are often forgiven a multitude of mistakes on their resumes. From foundational elements such as incorrect formatting and length, through to presenting complex academic research in an unappealing or uninformative way, these errors can limit opportunity and advancement.
Having a top-quality resume can be the difference between getting a job, and getting the job you really want. As a crucial piece of personal marketing, it is particularly important for those looking to move into more senior roles, or find work in a new market.
Join Patrick Flanagan as he provides unique insights into building an impactful resume. With over 15 year of experience in quant finance recruitment, Patrick will outline common mistakes to avoid, provide useful hints and tips on developing an engaging document, and offer some advice on standing out from the crowd during the recruitment process.
This event can earn you up to 2 CPD credits.
