Education is an investment of oneself that is of particular importance for the person headed for the brokerage firms.

Whether choosing a position as a broker, financial advisor or even management, a person with a four-year college degree majoring in business administration will put them at the top of the list.

Obtaining this degree will open a path that provides the most career options that he or she may choose to follow. Although not required, an MBA will almost certainly catch the eye of financial advisor recruiters from only the most prestigious firms.

With today's economy and lack of employment opportunities, many students who would have normally graduated from their college, are taking advantage of this time and choosing to continue their education to move further up the ladder, while setting themselves apart from the rest.

Finance recruiters are also taking advantage of this slower economy and lack of growth period to find only the very best from a field of applicants.

They are focusing more on the grade point average and class rank that individuals maintain. They carefully scrutinize the practical experience the applicant has gained along the way too.

Potential brokers should look for positions as an assistant at local firms in order to place experience on their resume, which finance recruiters will be looking for under previous job experience.

It is important that the prospective employee show that while in an undergraduate or graduate program, they found a good internship in the chosen field of interest.

Securing work experience for the resume may even require the prospective applicant work free during some internships.

A letter of recommendation is what the individual should be working towards which could quite possibly lead into higher positions and salary later because of past work experience.

Management positions require an additional series 24 license.

These licenses are difficult, but the firm the applicant chose from the financial advisor recruiters will sponsor the employee during this time.

Here, the prospective employees will be courted by finance recruiters of their choice.
