Sample Investment Analyst CV Sample
Much of a research analyst's job requires extensive attention to detail and as such, your resume should reveal
these flawless skills to a potential employer. Be sure to include numerical evidence for your experience and be
as detailed as possible while still remaining brief about your previous job descriptions.
Since most employers spend less than 30 seconds on each resume, make sure your key points are presented
efficiently and nothing unnecessary is added. Include the programs and software you are proficient in and any
past experiences that helped you develop and present job-related skills. Also, be sure to utilize keywords
specific to your company's mission statement and the position's responsibilities. You will want to make sure you
highlight direct experience to the job position – and that they are quantifiable and results-oriented.
Key points to remember:
-
Think structure - the job of a research analyst revolves around precision and keen attention to
detail so even the smallest mistake on a resume could result in a fast trip to the trashcan. Your resume
should be laid out in the most clean and organized format possible, showcasing your skills from the first
instant a potential employer views your resume.
-
Watch your bullets - Even if you have years and years of related experience, keep in mind that no
employers want to read 20 bullets of information for one job. Three to five bullets per position are more
than enough, so remember to condense, condense and condense!
