Those looking for work in the banking sector may be interested to read advice from one company about what they should include in their CVs to help secure the perfect job.
According to eFinancialCareers, candidates need to make sure that their CV is attention-grabbing as bosses will be looking through many applications and will quickly lose interest if one does not stand out to them.
It is also advisable not to list too many status titles as there will already be people with these roles in banking organisations. It is better to describe ability and achievements.
"Do not simply list job responsibilities - quantify results, successes and outputs; investment banks want to see what you can do based on results delivered," eFinancialCareers also suggests.
Last month, Hays Senior Finance suggested that there is still a requirement for accountants in many sectors despite the financial downturn.
