Description

A practical step-by-step playbook for breaking into competitive finance roles. We’ll cover how to position yourself to get noticed, build a strong recruiting strategy, identify the right people to network with, write outreach that gets responses, and turn networking calls into real opportunities. You’ll learn the exact do’s and don’ts of finance recruiting, what actually deserves your time, what students commonly waste time on, how to approach applications, follow up effectively, and prepare for interviews. The goal is to leave you with a clear system you can follow—not more information you don’t know how to use.

BlackRock Summer Analyst | Break Into Asset & Wealth Management

As an incoming 2027 Summer Analyst with BlackRock’s Financial Institutions Group, I recently navigated the competitive asset and wealth management recruiting process and converted multiple final-round opportunities into an offer. I also completed a sophomore internship in private wealth management at Raymond James, giving me firsthand experience with both recruiting and the day-to-day financial services industry. As a Penn State Finance student, portfolio manager, and SIE holder, I understand how students can position themselves effectively for competitive opportunities. I help candidates strengthen their résumés, develop targeted networking strategies, prepare compelling interview stories, and build a clear recruiting plan. My guidance is recent, practical, and personalized—especially for freshmen, sophomores, and students seeking an edge in asset or wealth management recruiting.
