Reflection
I chose these particular examples because they highlight my strengths really well. The paper shows my analytical rigor, as well as my ability to form cogent thoughts and express them in writing. I chose the Investment Club slide deck because it shows my ability to present in front of an audience and work in a team to achieve a goal. I chose these projects with finance employers in mind because they demonstrate research, teamwork, and communication skills relevant to wealth and asset management.
I think the paper shows that I can write, research, and express myself on a given topic while remaining coherent. The slide deck shows my ability to work in a team and present on a topic. I want to pursue wealth management or asset management, but I’m still on the fence at this point.
