CAREER INSIGHT: The ONE standout quality you need to succeed with finance applications!
For this episode, I spoke with Ben Arnold an investment director in value and European equities at Schroders.Ben's got a really unique story. As a teenager, his number 1 dream wasn't to work in finance but rather to play hockey at the Olympic Games. Shortly after graduating from the University of Nottingham in 2012, he started working in the City part-time at RBS while he trained with the GB hockey team in preparation for the Rio Olympics.After spending time playing professionally in the Netherlands, he returned to finance and pivoted his career to work in asset management and is now heavily involved in their recruitment selection process.Ben is a true advocate for social mobility having come from a traditional working-class background and is always a willing candidate to help young people with their career decisions.In this segment, Ben shares with me his top tips for standing out in both the application process and in the workplace.Free daily newsletter https://bit.ly/3Oeu4WkFree Finance Accelerator simulation https://bit.ly/3GoyV5rConnect with Ben https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-arnold-cfa-76398a70/ Connect with Anthony https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonycheung10/ Hosted on Acast.
