Professional summary section. So I actually never had this section in my previous resume. But now I've learned more as I've coached clients as well as I'm have to update my own resume, I now have one, this is super important actually. Because when an HR person is reading your resume, they'll see your general information and then his professional statement section. And this professional statement section is basically a summary of your resume and where you want to go. So you can straightaway tell the HR person, hey, this is my list of experiences of my skills.
This is what I'm presently doing. And this is what I hope to do in the future. You can stay up front Exactly, and manage the expectations of the HR particular person or recruiter or manager. This is really important. So what's in a professional statement, you might not have one never seen one before. That's cool.
And we're going to go through it right now. In three sentences. Typically, it's who you are where you are Going and why you bring value to particular company, right? So, consider using a resume or profile or summary, with or without a headline. So some people say aspiring financial analyst straight off as their headline sort of professional statement. I quite like that and it's totally up to you.
Or they might say, you know, financial analyst, aspiring to be a manager, for instance. So you've had a lot of junior experience as a financial analyst, and looking to become more in leadership, people leadership side of financial analysis, okay. So let's just say you've got no experience, you could say, aspiring financial analyst is fine as well. It's totally up to you. I quite like that idea. So upfront, you're saying, yep, these are my ambitions.
I want to join your company because I'm aspiring to be a financial analyst. And these are reasons why you should hire me and this is how I can add value to your organization. Remember to tell tell your profile as well. So your your professional summary, your professional statement to match the job that you want, and he's available. a specific example. That's more specific and I'm just going to read it out to you.
I quite like it. So you could say something like a spine analyst, who recently graduated from a top tier University have experienced investing in stocks, bookkeeping and financial reporting have a proven track record of investing in the stock market with above average returns. This is great currently at 8.5% return on an investment of USD $4,000 with a majority of investment grade state, investment grade stocks and a modest amount of speculative stock seeking opportunities to grow financial our skills in a collaborative environment. So what this particular person didn't actually make this up myself. They said, Okay, I want to be a financial analyst. I graduated from a great universities.
This is who I am, what my past is, and I've invested in stocks during my time and university proving that I have some financial analysts acumen and in fact approve this by saying that my returns on my portfolio This is for people without any experience, a greater than the market returns. So I'm saying to my future employer, hey, I've already outperformed the market. I'm keen to do more analysts work and learn from you guys. And here's my skill so now I'm seeking an opportunity to add these skills and financial analyst skills to your particular company. And in that last section, seeking opportunities to grow financial analyst skills in a clever environment UK say something about a specific company seeking an opportunity to grow as a financial analyst at you know, Macquarie Bank, JP Morgan to sharpen my skills and learn from the best for instance, because we know they have a great reputation something like JP Morgan or Macquarie Bank, okay?
