CFA JobLine

CFA Level III
#1

Does anyone have experience with the CFA Jobline? (That is the CFA job search database)

I was curious if there a sufficient amount of jobs posted to warrant the costs?

#2

It’s just like efinancialcareers. Once you apply for membership it’s free anyway, I wouldn’t purchase it stand alone.

#3

Thanks!

I wonder if there is an advantage to applying through the CFA site for positions?

#4

I doubt it. I look through the postings pretty often, and a lot of the links take you straight to efinancialcarers. The only difference would be CFA Jobline as your referral source as opposed to efinancialcareers.

#5

Those postings might be some recruiter throwing it up on the Jobline, but you do come across posting directly from smaller investment management firms from time to time.

#6

Agree with the comment that it comes with membership is a nice benefit, but it’s not a service I would pay for on a stand alone basis.

#7

Thanks! I haven’t enrolled as CFA member yet. Assuming I pass L3 I’ll enroll with CFA and check it.

Is anyone else on the job hunt?

I took the CFA to get a new job not to advance my position at a current company or because it was required of my current job. Anyone experience any success in the job market because of the CFA?
