Banking & Finance

Our dedicated Banking and Financial Services team members are financial services professionals. They have a deep understanding of the nuances and technicalities of a broad spectrum of roles across the sector.
The banking and financial services sector is central to the health of the global economy, a critical factor in wealth generation that contributes to country and regional development and has a major impact on peoples’ lives. It comprises a range of subsections and associated career opportunities that attract forward-looking, aspirational individuals with a strong work ethic, an inventive approach to problem solving and a talent for multitasking.

This highly regulated sector has worldwide reach. It is constantly evolving to keep pace with and anticipate change, and its success relies on cutting edge technological developments that can accommodate the shift to a digitized culture. It is a sector that often operates at high pressure, where strategic thinking, interaction with colleagues and the ability to build productive business relationships based on trust are paramount.

Because it is such a highly competitive sector, hiring practices for jobs in banking and financial services can be particularly sophisticated and exacting. A resume will almost certainly have to get through the initial test of the automatic candidate tracking systems before moving up to the next level of rigorous personal scrutiny. To be fit for purpose, any resume must satisfy both technological and human requirements, while it is equally crucial to have a winning interview pitch that is polished, professional and inspires confidence.

City CV knows how to address and overcome these challenges. Our team of writers comprises former industry professionals and recruiters, who have perfected the art of writing attention-grabbing resumes, cover letters, compelling LinkedIn profiles and whose interview coaching sessions are specifically designed for banking and financial services. At the same time, our executive coaching packages and career transition service prepare clients for both a sideways and an upward move.

Whatever background, expertise or level of seniority, personal branding in every job search will ensure that each individual stands out and has the greatest chance of success at all stages of their career.
