Calling Columbia applicants for 2008

what is your pitch for how you plan to make the transition from biomed research to finance? basically, i am wondering how you plan to utilize this interview opportunity (congrats on the opportunity!) to tell your story. i think it's critical that you really sell the transition you are trying to make. i definitely think that your research experience would add value to a capital markets biotech research team, but this may not be readily apparent to someone outside of the capital markets. you could do yourself a big favor by shoring up your story and making it as easy to understand as possible while simultaneously relating it to the extensive finance offerings at columbia. i mention this 1) because i know something about your area of interest and could potentially help you strategize and 2) to help focus you on what you need to succeed in the interview (the resume is just one component and is not as important as what you actually say during the interview). let me know if i can help!
