Completing your finance degree is the first step — getting the right job is the hard part. If you’re targeting brokerages, trading desks, research teams or fintech firms, I’ll give you a realistic, step-by-step plan to land interviews and convert offers that match your skills, location, and career goals.


What we cover


  • Target-role mapping: which jobs actually match your skills (trade support, desk analyst, sales, research, quant, operations).
  • Resume & LinkedIn overhaul: bullet-by-bullet edits to highlight relevant experience, metrics and ATS-friendly keywords.
  • Application strategy: where to apply, how to tailor cover letters, and smart follow-up that gets replies.
  • Interview prep: role-specific questions, live mock interview, and phrasing to show impact and fit.
  • Networking & referrals: how to approach recruiters, alumni and hiring managers with messages that work.
  • Compensation & expectations: realistic salary bands, offer negotiation tips, and how to evaluate counteroffers.


Who should book


  • Recent grads and early-career finance professionals aiming for broker and trading roles.
  • Career-changers transitioning into trading, broking, or research.
  • Anyone frustrated by low response rates or failed interviews and wanting a systematic fix.


How the session works


  1. Pick a 30 / 45 / 60-minute session.
  2. Share your resume and 2–3 job links you’re targeting before the call.
  3. We’ll run a practical two-way session: resume edits, role-mapping, and at least one mock interview or outreach message draft.
  4. You leave with a clear, prioritized action plan and practical scripts you can use immediately.


Deliverables


  • Resume + LinkedIn improvement checklist (ready-to-paste bullets).
  • Custom job-target list and application schedule.
  • Interview cheat-sheet with sample answers for your role.
  • Outreach templates for recruiters / alumni.
  • Quick follow-up note summarising next steps and priorities.
