Lots of job seekers include an “Affiliations” section on their resume to highlight the professional organizations to which they belong. But not every group with which you’re involved should necessarily be listed on your resume.

If there’s one thing to remember as you write your resume and cover letter it’s that employers are interested in what you can do for them, not what you want from them.

Shortlisted job candidates are not the only ones who need to prep for a financial analyst interview. See how hiring managers should and can prepare as well.

Many accounting and finance organizations need the help of talented professionals with specific subject matter expertise to contribute to or manage complex projects. But often they don’t have the budget — or the ongoing need — to hire these individuals on a full-time basis. Bringing in a finance consultant or another type of interim management professional is an effective way to fill these skills gaps as needed. 

While it is true that a single typo on your resume can damage your chances of landing a job interview, all errors are not created equal. For example, if you’re a strong candidate with highly marketable skills, a hiring manager might be willing to ignore the fact that you wrote to instead of too.
