Tell me about the systems and tools that you lean on to do your job.
If Fidelity mentions any tools or tech in their job posting, be prepared to discuss your exposure to those during your interview. Perhaps they use specific software or programs to help analyze trends in the financial market. Talk to the interviewer about the tools you currently use and others you have used in the past. Share your methodology, any systems you've implemented for yourself or the workplace, and how you shore up your success. "If you're the type that's always looking for ways to improve performance and efficiency, Fidelity's team is for you." If you are new to your career, you can mention any programs you used at university or during your internship. Show the interviewer that you are eager and willing to learn.
"First and foremost, I use my CRM all day long and rely heavily on it when it comes to my pipeline of business and existing client portfolio. I use Capsule because it's a CRM that allows me to share progress with my team should we work on larger investment accounts together. Aside from my CRM, I also use email marketing automation software, allowing me to keep my leads warm with an email funnel that I have automated. A new tool I love is NestEgg Estimator, a Google app that takes my client's finances and breaks them down into income, taxes, assets, and debt, better helping me calculate their retirement needs. The app allows me to play out various scenarios, such as changes in job, expenses, and spending."
"I have been teaching myself a few new tools in anticipation of my first job in wealth management. These tools include Salesforce CRM, where I have been taking their free webinars and tutorials. I have used YouTube channels to learn additional tech, such as Black Diamond, a cloud-based portfolio management platform. I understand that Black Diamond will help me with information aggregation, customizing reports, and other tasks required as a junior advisor."
