I have many interests, and college in I was able to explore and develop a range of skills.

Though I majored in Economics, I was able to study philosophy, psychology, and fine arts. While this undergraduate experience helped to shape me into a well-rounded person, my aspiration was to secure a job in the financial services arena, and for this, I felt that a specialized training program like Swiss Finance was a smart choice. I decided to attend Swiss Finance because it covered so many aspects of financial services, and judging by the amount of hours of instruction, it seemed to cover everything thoroughly.

How did Swiss Finance enhance your career skills?

I feel that the Swiss Finance experience polished the skills I already had, taught me new skills, and showed me the best way to present myself as a desirable job candidate. By the time I had completed the program, I had so many tangible skills and abilities immediately relevant to financial services. As a first time job seeker, I was able to speak confidently about my ability to do the work a practicing analyst does. Do you have any advice for people considering attending Swiss Finance? For people who may be intimidated by the pace of the program, and the amount of materials the modules cover, I would strongly advise them to attend. Just as in college or university, even if you do not master everything you encounter, you still walk away with much more knowledge than you started with. You will learn much more by challenging yourself and reaching to give something your all. Being around executives and other people with similar aspirations will likely make you realize how capable you are and how much you do understand. Surrounding yourself with experts like the Swiss Finance instructors places you in an environment designed entirely for learning.
