本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Share some suggestions on how to build up an IT resume in Finance Industry
Context Assumption:
Job: Senior/Intermediate level Application Programmer/Consultant position in a Top Investment Bank MBS Analytics Department.
Location: NYC
Salary: Full-time $100K to $150K (base + bonus)
1. Recruiters scan resume in less than 10 secs. So, I believe the following items are important.
a. Key words, such as Bell lab, Lucent Technology, J.P.Morgan, C++, Java, Java Architect Certificate, Distinguised Award, (at least you have one or two key words that can be immediately highlighted by recruiters)
Of course even more better if you know break-even oas, dv01, and so on.
b. Degree, of course better if you got Master degree
c. Certificates
2. Some problems.
a. Previous job history is not stable. If we have worked for five companies for the last five years, then it is a big problem. I understand we have to survive when we come to Canada. But I have to say that we must build up very stable work history in our resumes.
b. Previous job history is not solid and aggressive. Solid does not mean that we have to work for big companies. Solid means you have to demonstrate that you did make impressive progress every year. E.g. you got some certificates every year. Java programmer --> java developer --> java architect
c. Lack of a list of major achievements or accomplishments.
E.g. "Major Accomplishments I managed a team to successfully deliver XXX product. This product generates over $10 Million revenue per year for the company."
Second example: “Major Accomplishments: We successfully deliver risk data to all major trading desks with over $15 billion dollars as portfolio current market value”
See, I use two achievements and I believe better than two-pages decription of what you did before.
Hopefully the above suggs would be helpful for our resume built up.更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
