Let’s imagine: you read a Stockbroker job description that you liked and for which you consider yourself “fit and proper”. What to do next?
First, read your CV all over again. Obviously, you know it by heart, it’s your life, but try to read it again while roleplaying, as if you were the recruiter that will get an impression out of that piece of paper (hopefully it’s just going to be just one piece of paper and not more…) within 6 seconds (set a timer on your smartphone, please). That’s the average time a recruiter has got to get an impression out of it.
How does your CV appear now?
Fine-tune it with those 6 seconds of absolute relevance in mind, then when you think it’s ready… you need to prepare your specific stock broker cover letter. And that can’t just be the same stock broker cover letter you keep sending together with any application you do. This is a big mistake.
Any stock broker cover letter needs to be tailored to the job description and the company, on the requirements of the position and, particularly, the “ideal candidate”, which, obviously, needs to look exactly like you do!
Let’s try and consider an example of a typical stock broker cover Letter:
Mr. A. Employee
1, My House
Any Street
This Town
PO57 3DE
Date
Mrs A. Manager
The Company
Employment Street
That Town
PO57 3DE
