Wall Street has undergone a radical face lift, but finance industry recruiters are expected to stick to roughly the same formula when looking to fill entry-level positions with college graduates in the future。
华尔街已经彻底改头换面了。不过,金融业招聘人士在寻找大学毕业生填补初级职位空缺的时候,预计仍将坚持与以往大致相同的甄选原则。
Wealth management, investment banking and research are expected to see a hiring surge in the coming years, according to Joseph Logan, founder and managing director of Pinnacle Group International。
Pinnacle Group International创始人兼董事总经理约瑟夫·洛根表示,财富管理、投资银行和研究领域有望在未来几年掀起招聘热潮。
“A strong background in accounting plus financial knowledge in uation is the key-and being well-rounded will help a lot,”says David Smith, an associate professor at the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia who specializes in corporate finance and banking。
会计和财务估值方面的过硬背景是应聘成功的关键,知识全面也会大有帮助,”弗吉尼亚大学麦金太尔商学院专门从事企业财务和银行业研究的副教授史密斯表示。
Mr. Smith, who helps prepare students for finance job interviews, advises the students who want to head to Wall Street to eschew finance fads like the current demand in restructuring or credit derivatives
which were hot two years ago and focus on becoming fluent in accounting and financial uation fundamentals that are applicable to any specialty. As the economy recovers more traditional financial services functions, such as mergers and acquisitions advisory will make a comeback。
史密斯帮助学生们为金融职位面试做准备。他向那些希望在华尔街发展的学生们建议说,要避开金融业一时的潮流,比如眼下对两年前颇为流行的重组或者信用衍生品方面的人才需求,而将目光集中在像会计和财务估值基本知识这样适用于所有金融领域的研究。随着经济的复苏,那些更为传统的金融服务业务比如并购咨询行业将重新焕发活力。
Since most of the small firms lack the infrastructure to train new hires as intensely as their larger rivals, finance or business majors could be more attractive than an English or history concentration, says Barbara Hewitt, senior associate director of the career services center of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania。
由于大多数小公司缺少像大公司那样对新员工进行严格培训的组织结构,金融或商业专业的毕业生可能比英语或历史专业的毕业生更受青睐,宾夕法尼亚大学沃顿商学院职业服务中心高级副主任休伊特表示。
Students at liberal arts schools that don't offer intensive finance and accounting classes can develop a solid entry-level finance resume by enrolling in basic accounting and macro and micro economic courses. They can also bulk up on the more technical areas of finance by enrolling in summer classes at other institutions。
在没有金融、会计高级课程的文科院校读书的学生们通过注册学习基础的会计和宏观、微观经济学课程也能拥有一份适合金融业初级职位的简历。他们还可以通过报名参加其他学校的夏季课程增强自己对更为专业的金融学知识的掌握。
Fields like risk management may be gaining traction on Wall Street today in the wake of the financial crisis. Employers have also been posting more positions in risk management these years than before。
在金融危机爆发后,像风险管理这样的领域或许正在华尔街日渐走红。今几年各大公司在风险管理方面的招聘职位也多过往年。
