Profile Evaluation

It's likely you have more leadership and involvement than you give yourself credit for. Even if you go back to your college days, surely there were clubs and organizations you were a part of. What usually resonates it some sort of consistency or theme of involvement which points towards a passion or interest rather than just random service which can come across as resume fodder. As for leadership, you don't have to have led an organization in a cabinet position to demonstrate leadership, in fact, leading when you are not in charge is a valuable tool. Try to indicate how you have impacted a group or organization whether or not you held an actual leadership position. Asset management is more about teamwork than leadership, so showing some deep experience working in teams, building consensus and co-governing analysis efforts in your career would be good.

Wow, that was really great advice. I never thought of it that way until I read you comments. I will incorporate those themes you mentioned into my essays, and notes that I am using to prepare for interviews. Thanks again!
