Redid my resume. Which one is better? Having a hard time getting interviews. I am networking a lot, too. Any advice would be appreciated. Do you think I should get an SIE even after my Master’s? The coursework for the license seemed easy; I can do it if it opens doors.

I revamped my resume and would love your feedback on which version is stronger. I’m finding it tough to land interviews despite putting in a lot of effort into networking. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Also, considering my Master’s degree, do you think it’s worth pursuing the SIE? The coursework seems manageable, and I’m open to it if it could help me open up more opportunities.

  1. It’s great that you’ve taken the time to redo your resume! It can definitely make a difference in catching the attention of hiring managers. If you’re having a hard time getting interviews, consider tailoring your resume for each position you apply for, emphasizing your most relevant skills and experiences.

    Regarding the SIE (Securities Industry Essentials) exam, earning it can certainly be beneficial, even with a Master’s degree. It demonstrates your commitment to a career in the finance sector and shows potential employers that you have foundational knowledge of the industry. It might help you stand out in a competitive job market and open doors to entry-level positions at firms where some form of licensing is required.

    Additionally, while networking is key, you might also want to consider other strategies such as informational interviews, joining professional organizations, or seeking out mentorship to gain insights and connections in your desired field. Good luck!
