>> So, I always advise people that you have
to take a very serious active
interest in investing in general.
So, when you go in to an interview, you
should have been an investor yourself.
You own a stock, buy stock, buy a share
of a mutual fund, track it, understand it,
be able to have that dialogue
with whomever you're interviewing
to actually say you know what
it's like to be an investor.
Because when you advise a client,
you have to understand a little bit
about what they're going through.
Today, it's very difficult to find internships
and to find entry level positions more
so than it was when I started out.
But I always think that there's ways that
you can get informational interviews locally.
You can ask someone to shadow
their job for one day.
We have people that come in to our
organization that will work for free for a week
and there's always projects
that people need help with.
I think anything you can do to build your
resume is anything you should do, whether it's,
you know, an exciting internship at a Wall
Street bank or it's just spending a couple weeks
on your winter break with the
financial advisor down the street.
You should take advantage of
whatever opportunity you can.
