      Hey @CFAcharterwannabe‌ – we admire your dedication and persistence on your job search.

      It’s definitely the right attitude. I think some work experience is better than none. So even if you didn’t manage to obtain an internship, teaching (is it finance-related?) is nevertheless a good experience, which fills out your CV with something useful that you can draw on to, e.g. leadership skills, the ability to present/explain complex concepts in a straightforward way .. all useful skillsets in the real world.

      It’s always tough to get your first internship/work experience, but it does get better over time. I certainly don’t think ACCA and CFA is a handicap at all, you just need to explain clearly what qualifications these are and what professionals have them. Go for it, and good luck!

      @Sophie‌ yes I forgot to mention, the institute is about teaching professional qualifications like CFA, ACCA etc and I feel that the fact that I self studied is a handicap. I think it matters where you receive your education from which is why I feel very inadequate during interviews.

      Thanks a lot for the vote of confidence!
