The CFA Institute Career Center has launched a new section devoted entirely to students: Career Planning for Students. Using our global network, we are sharing knowledge of careers in finance and investment to help students bridge the gap between university and the world of work.
We invite societies to share this resource – intended to better support your society’s relationship with universities. Career planning and job role explanation can be a great way to engage students and promote the benefits of the CFA Program.
Students can explore a five-step career planning guide:
- Preparing for Your Career: Informs students about CFA Institute programs® and other ways to prepare for a career in finance.
- Exploring Opportunities: Offers students a guide to categories and titles of job roles in the industry. Provides interviews with successful leaders about their own career paths.
- Applying for a Job: Gives guidance on crafting a compelling CV perfect for the finance industry and developing impactful LinkedIn profiles.
- The Interview Process: Provides video advice for young professionals from experienced recruiters and tips on interviewing and communication skills.
- In the Workplace: Offers strategies for thriving in the workplace and managing yourself and your career.
