Resume Review
Before you apply, make sure you have the right resume to beat the ATS system and get noticed by recruiters. Also, if you are able to get a direct referral and bypass applying via website, will your resume pass the six second read or end up in the rejection pile? Take a few minutes to review these videos and give your resume a quick review before you apply for that next job opportunity from our JOB BOARD.
Please use this template for your resume. We will not share resumes that are improperly formatted with recruiters.

Interviewing Tips
The interview process can be GRUELING when you are looking for that next opportunity. The better prepared you are, the easier it can be. Here are a few tools with some general tips to aid you in your process. We highly recommend leveraging the Wall Street Friends network to connect with those who may currently be in the roles you are looking to attain, and seeking informational interviews.
Understanding Wall Street and It’s Culture
Technical skills in finance and accounting are only half of what you need for a successful career on the street. Learning history of the industry, firm culture, and all the “unwritten rules of engagement” are the other half. View our playlist of select videos below from YouTube to get started. We also like Wall Street Oasis’s content which you can find on YouTube.
Performance Coaching
Managing through adversity and setbacks is key to achieving success as well as longevity on The Street. While this isn’t exhaustive, we provide a few resources here to provide a bit of an extra push when you need it.
