It felt very much like a job application. I sent in my college transcripts, my resume, a couple essays, and a few letters of recommendation to my local society (CFA Los Angeles). Also, they definitely call your references to ask about you. I was actually in the room of my former boss when they left him a message asking about me hahaha.

It doesn’t seem to be on many people’s radar and even those who find out don’t feel like putting in half a day’s work to apply for it. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with 🙂

        look @Sarah ! Expectations always cause a pain. So I strongly suggest you to take it easy and who do not be able to face failure does not deserve success.

          I would recommend to have another dept solely for careers counselling and helping candidates in getting jobs or at least internships specially for the CFA’s in the third world countries who get it but don’t have appropriate opportunities to put his/her knowledge in practical field.

            I don’t know anyone in my area who is doing the same (CFA) .May be because there is no one or anyone whom i don’t know. problem is that there are only 5 to 6 IB’s in PAkistan and they don’t offer internship program. In order to get in in the equity market (specially)you need a string reference which i don’t have… @sophie

                @MockTurtle problem is that i really lack in making network. May be reason behind this is uneducated family background. and also no one there whom i ask about job and reference. and second problem is that currently i don’t have Experience. so i don’t think it would be good idea to go Dubai without experience. what do u suggest??

                    Hi @um333 ! The email was fairly simple as you’re really just sending over a PDF of your application materials. But my email read like this:

                    Hello,

                    Please find the attached PDF version of my application for the 2013 Access Scholarship. If there are any problems with the attachment please let me know.

                    Thank you and have a great evening,

                    thank you
