Question:  I am a Finance graduate with bachelors degree in Finance. What kind of jobs can I get and what are my chances to get a job soon? I can work in different countries, including New York, London, and Mumbai.

Answer: These are difficult times to get new jobs in finance area because so many experienced people are jobless, and there is a lot of supply compared to less demand.

Finance is a vast field. Please identify what topics/areas within finance interest you the most, and try to approach companies as a motivated and competent person, who is willing to work at a low salary. That’s your best chance if you want employment.

You can also try for Banking jobs, especially in the Risk Management divisions, which I believe are still having budgets to increase their activity.

If you want to be in investments, then you should try to make 1-2 profitable investments, and show their proof to potential employers. Let the numbers speak.  Follow the financial markets like you would do when you are actually working for a company or for clients. And that practice will help you to convert good opportunities when they arise.
