Hi Camila. You need to prioritize your academic performance. To get a solid foundation in finance, you should focus on doing well in your core courses like finance, accounting, economics, and math. A good GPA will make a big difference when employers look at your resume.
Next, you need to gain real-world experience. Internships are one of the best ways to build a resume that will catch the attention of hiring managers. You can look for finance-related internships, even if the internship is unpaid or part-time, as it can provide valuable experience that helps you understand the finance industry better. Whether it's in financial analysis, investment banking, or corporate finance, any hands-on experience you gain will help you build your skills and make connections in the industry.
Networking is another important part of your journey. You'll want to start building connections with professionals in the finance field early on. You can attend career fairs, industry events, and conferences related to finance. These events are great opportunities to learn from people who are already working in finance and to hear about job opportunities.
It's also essential to work on both technical and soft skills. In the finance world, being good with numbers and financial software is a must. Learning how to build financial models, analyze data, and understand financial statements is important. Additionally, many finance jobs require you to explain complex ideas to clients or colleagues. Therefore, developing communication skills, learning to solve problems, and being a good team player will help you in the long run. All the best.
