I have looked at more resumes than I can remember. To say I have looked at 10,000 resumes in my career would be a gross understatement. Here are a few hints and tidbits I hope you will find helpful, most of which you won’t find on the typical resume checklists out there.

With Bank of America (BAC) buying Merrill Lynch (MER) and Wells Fargo (WFC) buying Wachovia/AG Edwards (WB) there are over 30,000 financial advisors in flux. When you include over 20,000 advisors from powerhouses like Morgan Stanley (MS) and UBS (UBS) whose fate is uncertain of late (both have talked with other suitors this year about merging or selling) the advisor count nearly doubles.
