What to try next

[luie123]

Hi, I am looking for a trading job, and I have had limited sucess so far. I have a science degree 2:2 and I have done my FSA exams.

I work as business analyst atm for a clinal firm. I have had a couple of interviews (1 offer but a prop house and it wasnt right for me), and a lot of unsucessfulls.

What can I do to make myself stand out, should I try for interships, unpaid work experience (although I cant afford that for long), I know the market is very tough at the moment, but there must be a way in.......

Any advise greatfully recieved!!

why not trade for your self ?
Get educated in this business an then if your lucky you will never need to work for anyone again .

if you can get yourself into a trade support job then take it! this will defo lead to other internal jobs.

trust me, been there.

Excellent, i will try that. I can start to trade myself, but I have a mortgage to pay, so i need to consider that too.

Thanks for responses
