Every employer wants to know that they are hiring someone with a strong reputation in the industry. In finance, reputation means a lot because reputation equals trust. Talk to the interviewer about your reputation in the industry by drawing on compliments you have received from clients, reviews from current or previous employers, or co-workers. Share any financial analyst communities you belong to, such as your CFA Society's local chapter, Financial Analysts Societies, and networking through industry conventions. If you have any written references to bring with you - even better!

"For me, reputation is everything. I have two written references for you from previous clients. You can also call my past two employers if you would like a character reference. I can best describe my reputation as honest, thorough, and invested. I want to see my clients succeed."
