Advice on Application for Financial Analyst (Surveillance) position

Hi @Mr_Excel, good to see you around 🙂

On your first question, have you seen my latest blog post on precisely this topic? I would add that you need to check the job spec advertised for that national bank role and tailor/highlight the relevant skills in your CV to fit the requirement. There is a section in Education and about stating your CFA status there too.

Once you’ve sent in your CV, it’s all about interview preparations really! Do you know enough about the role and the company? What’s your story, why do you want this role? Why do you fit this role? A lot of selling yourself in interview, it’s a broad question to answer!

Happy to help or elaborate more if you’ve specific questions or provide more details.

Sounds good @Mr_Excel, definitely keep us posted, we’re rooting for you! Good luck 🙂

@Mr_Excel, I’m afraid I can’t write your CV for you as it’s something you know best of.

I don’t see a problem in that your current job and CFA studies represent transferable skillset to your targeted role. You’d need to demonstrate your value add and relevant skills of your current work that is applicable to this new role.
