CFA in a line...

I’m currently sending out my CV and writing short cover letters. If you had to describe the CFA in one or two lines how would you do it?

golden standard of professionalism in the investment industry

bottles and models

In my cover letter, I put something like, “I wanted to learn more about finance so I became a candidate of the CFA program.”

If you have to explain it, it’s probably not worth a whole lot to that job

it’s actually “models and bottles”

Ahh. I see. Guess I have some things to learn before I can become a charterholder. Gotta keep truckin.

Too bad the good old days are (mostly…) over thanks to compliance departments and liability, and usually these days it’s just dinner, or what I call “Dorks and Forks”

Haha, I like that.

The imaginary golden ticket to a front office gig.
