Finance undergrad Student looking for pointers?
Im 6 months away from graduating with a finance degree. My problem is that I just took two ( as far as im concerned ) very important finance classes. They are : Investments ( 300 level ) and Corporate finance . Problem is my teachers were terrible and although I passed I feel like if I missed out on a more challenging opportunity with another teacher. So with that in mind my question is really.
What must I know ( concepts ) in order to be successful at landing my first job. Things like ( Efficient frontiers, CAPM, beta, SML ) ??
I know i will need to tighten up my excel skills, thats a give in. But what concepts are most important for me to be thoroughly knowledgable about in order to secure at least an entry level finance job???
Finance best answer:
Answer by QWERTY
Supplement coursework with buying comprehensive Finance text , read and keep it with you. By finance it seems you are looking for investment type position, most of which involves specific training anyway. Personality and general aptitude are more important than being able to quote mean-variance to clients, at least in practice and maybe getting your foot in the door if you don't network enough .None of these abstract theories will be relevant for bank customer service, lending, etc. the other kind of Finance.

Mayor Abdul Haidous of the city of Wayne and Sterling Heights Mayor Richard Notte were in Lansing on Thursday, with Michigan Municipal League staffer Andy Schor, to testify at the Senate Finance Committee's first hearing on SB 34, which would eliminate the personal property tax. Read the Feb. 3rd Action Alert (http://www.mml.org/advocacy/alerts_advisories/2011_02_4_action.html) which explains the League's position on the bill, and the steps local leaders are taking to make sure committee members understand the devastating impact this would have on local public services should it be enacted without a replacement for the revenues to local communities. For more about the League and what we do go to mml.org.
