So I've nearly finished tightening up the resume, and though I have a post in the resume forum as well (would naturally love watching people tear it to shreds for my benefit), I have a question that I want to ask specifically to ER monkeys.
As I've detailed before, I'm an "old" coming from scientific research in academia and am moving to healthcare ER. These jobs want a science PhD (or MD) and varying degrees of financial experience, and I need to show how I have been working to improve my financial skillset. I already indicate that I've taken WSP courses in accounting, modeling, and valuation strategies, but I also want to demonstrate that I'm moving toward the CFA as well. Obviously I haven't taken it yet, but want to convey that I will be taking it in December.
In cases like this, is it best to include such a statement in the resume, cover letter, or do neither since it hasn't been accomplished yet? I have leaned toward cover letter, but I don't know how many people actually read those. Those of you who have the unfortunate task of reviewing resumes, what do you think when you see statements like that?
Much thanks.
