WALL STREET PROFESSIONAL'S SURVIVAL GUIDE, THE

This is the only complete, up-to-date, and practical guide for financial industry professionals seeking new or better jobs in today's brutally competitive environment - where fewer opportunities exist and the marketplace is flooded with out-of-work candidates. Authored by Roy Cohen - who spent 14 years as Goldman Sachs' sole "in-house" career and outplacement counselor - this book delivers industry-specific insider insights not found anywhere else. Drawing on his unsurpassed experience helping financial industry executives succeed in their job searches, Cohen tells readers what to do when and if they are fired or are seeking new employment opportunities: how to develop a "game plan" and job search targets, how to build your "story," how to position a move from sell-side to buy-side, and more. He offers finance-focused guidance on interview strategy, resumes, follow-up, references, and even negotiation, with examples from his practice. The career advice delivered in this book will be indispensable for readers who want to successfully navigate the forces that are transforming the finance industry and prosper in it.
