What is a financial Services professional?
Q. I have an upcoming interview (The company contacted me,However my resume is titled for an Administrative Assistant position.) They want me for a financial services professional, I really don't know what that is. Just hope I am not wasting my time.
Asked by Jonell J - Tue Nov 21 13:24:37 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The position can be anything from a Financial Counselor ( a person who counsels someone on how they will cover their cost in areas of liability, an example is a deductible for medical expenses they will owe $500 and you have to find out how they will pay that amount) or an actual product sale rep (someone who advises people on different investment options, such as retirement, education ect...) I am in the same boat I was contacted by an Investment Company and wasted over an hour of my time for a sales job when Admin Assistant is where my background is. My suggestion is look up the company, go on-line and gather as much information as you can. You should be able to tell what type of business it is. Then decide from there what is in your… [cont.]

starting a career in financial services industry?
Q. Hello, I am software developer with 7 years of development experience, and now I would like to break into financial services industry (as a developer). Could anyone suggest any courses/degrees/etc? Thanks in advance
Asked by STHOTAKURA - Tue Mar 23 15:29:52 2010 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Hi - It really depends on what area of software development are you in...To my knowledge I have heard of people working as consultants to banks or other financial services firms as staff in an IT department for a bank need not be core IT experts but functional as to say. You may want to check out the openings on job search web-sites to start with and as others must have said try to network through friends and family with people working for these companies who can help you with an opening of a specific kind what you may be looking for... I know its more general but depending on the area of s/w development you are in, you can seek more guidance... Hope this helps!
