QUESTION 6 OF 30

Walk me through your education and how it relates to a career in wealth management.

Your formal education and industry training might be on your resume; however, the interviewer would like you to dig deeper and bring this education to life for them by discussing how your education has prepared you for this job with Ameriprise Financial.

If you have a finance-specific post-secondary degree, this answer will be straightforward for you. You can list completed coursework applicable to the products and services offered at Ameriprise Financial.

If you do not have an applicable degree, it's time to think about what you learned at your highest levels of education and how that knowledge applies (or will apply) to your work. Some of these skills could include:

- Proposal Writing
- Public Speaking
- Presentation Building
- Independent Learning
- Academic Research

"I earned my masters' degree in finance from ABC University. My degree exposed me to the financial world and specific topics such as bonds, econometrics, economics, corporate finance, governmental finance, individual investment, statistics, and portfolio management. I am grateful for my education and how well it has supported me in my career."

"I will never be finished when it comes to my education and learning. Although my degree is in business administration, and not specifically finance, my school did prepare me very well for a career in wealth management. I took courses in economics, finance, management, and marketing; all important facets of wealth management."
