Guys, I have just completed CFA- L3 and planning to shift into investment banking/ asset management, from a back office kind of role. Would it be advisable to put my career objective in my resume-or will it hurt more than it benefits me- Kindly let me know your views.
Why would it hurt you?
I’ve been in the position to help hire people to our teams and all i have to say is that it had better be a super profound statement because 99.99999999% of the ones I’ve seen SUCK A$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!! if its something like “to secure a position in corporate finance and leverage my skills there blah blah blah” jsut leave it off the resume every single applicant for this position wants to work in corp finance and leverage their skills…how does it differentiate you
Seriously… I believe adding additional relevant information to your skills section is far more beneficial than an objective statement. Just my thoughts.
for investment banking…objective: To say goodbye to seeing daylight…oh hold that is no difference since you have been studying for CFA last few years… 
okay but jokes aside…I agree with BHahesy
investment banking is much harder than the CFA
how is investment banking harder? IBanks walk you through a training course and show you exactly what they want done and how…its just a lot more hours but you’re getting PAID to be there!
Thanks guys for your inputs. I have removed the Career Objective and replaced with a summary section.
