So tip number three guys attain financial analyst certification so we just told you before that sci fi looks great especially if you're sci fi level one candidates if a level two candidates a fellow three candidate whatever it may be a here's a list in my view the ranking of importance as well for becoming a great financial first aid gate financial analyst and secondly what looks good on your resume CFA at the very top guys world's most recognized certification. I'm also level one CFA candidate at the time when I you know, kind of started my role. So the next one would be certified financial planner, CFP, certified fund specialist. So, I mean, let me backtrack a bit see if CFP for finance Planning, those who are interested in CFS, those who are more interested in hedge fund management, that type of stuff, have fun, you know fund management, see FC, certified Chartered Financial consultant see FC.
Then you've got your accounting related certifications that help in financial analysts because you have a strong understanding of the financial statements. So, CPA certified public accountant, see a chartered accountancy, and see I am a certified Investment Management analyst. And so you can do a lot of online research for these things. So make sure that you're getting an accreditation is going to help you most in your particular field of financial analysis. And yes, and that's important. There's also bachelor's and master's degree that you can do online in your respective part of the world.
So let's just say you're in Australia, there's a lot of online universities. Now these days even Monash Melbourne, Open University, these types of new actually online offer online courses where you don't have to go to class you could on your own time, like a masters of finance, for instance. And this is super important. You probably won't get a job as a financial analyst straight off. If you don't have these qualifications. I'd be surprised if anyone's willing in the industry to make that happen.
Unless you're already in the company and promoting you into that job. You know, given that you're, you know, really good, perhaps previously in a different part or different division.
