How do I make a career change from back office financial operations to investment banking with only an A.A.S ?
novdanb asked:
I am finding it extremely difficult to expand on my financial services background and need some suggestions. I have worked in back office operations management (collections, customer service, cash application) for 7 years and need a change desperately. I have applied for numerous positions as an admin asst to traders, operations support, etc. and keep getting turned down due to lack of experience in investment banking. Additionally, I only have an Associates degree in Business Admin. Why don’t these companies want a seasoned professional willing to start from scratch? I understand and accept the pay cut, just give me a chance…..

Goed, zou het korte antwoord dat u don' zijn; t heeft het onderwijs. In investeringsbankwezen, een bachelor' s de graad en MBA zijn zeer noodzakelijk. U zult dat onderwijs ondernemingen nodig hebben kunnen begrijpen als geheel. Als u de verandering wilt aanbrengen en uw chef-/potentiële werkgever tonen u ernstig bent, keer naar school voor uw BS (minstens) terug. De majoor in Financiën of Financieel Beheer zal en u de kennis verkrijgen u nodig hebt.

Ik ben het eens, u zult zelfs niet worden overwogen zonder een BS, laat staan dat investeringsbankiers behoefte aan een MBA van een hoogstaande business school. Ga terug naar school en je diploma is het de enige manier om vooruitgang te boeken
