I decided that I would document my search for employment as I prepare for my graduation from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Science in Business with a major in finance and a minor in economics.
I have a few goals in creating this series. The first goal is to gain more recognition in the finance world through my website. The second is to educate others who seek to follow in a similar career path. Several fellow finance majors have contacted me since this site’s inception, and I thought they might like to share in my journey into the “real world.” The third and final goal, and possibly the most important, is to secure a definitive job offer by December 16, 2007 in the field that has been my passion for over seven years.
My job search focuses on specific jobs because, ideally, I would like my job to be something I truly enjoy. Investing is my passion, and I would be thrilled with doing it full-time if I didn’t have to worry about personal finances. Thus, I would like to incorporate it into my full-time job after I graduate, if possible.
The specific field of interest in which I am looking to obtain employment in is investment analysis. Such a job could come in the form of a stock research analyst or a financial portfolio strategist. I want a career that will challenge me to think creatively and will drive me to exceed all expectations. On a more general level, I would enjoy employment opportunities that deal with stocks, options, and/or foreign exchange.
I would appreciate any help that the readers could provide me in my search for a job. Any bits of wisdom that you have found helpful in your prior experiences or a suggestion on a potential employer (or even an introduction) are welcomed. If you would like to leave advice or a suggestion, I would encourage you to use to comment field so that there can be a discussion available to other job hunters, but you may contact me through email as well.

Thank you,
