[QUOTE="Giovanni Figa, post: 14248, member: 3238"] Hey Jessica I'm looking at a career change having worked in Finance for the last 15 years. I was wondering if there was anything specific I should address when explaining why I am looking to change career? I'm planning to use the below - any pointers would be greatly appreciated. "My career in Finance has increasingly incorporated regulatory and legal dimensions, a synthesis I have really enjoyed. I believe the perfect role for me would incorporate a greater legal dimension so a move into law is a natural progression at this stage. My interest in Law stretches back to my A-Levels where I studied the subject. After graduating I opted to take the Graduate Diploma in Law as this could lead to a legal career or give me invaluable transferable skills for a career elsewhere. After completing this course and having studied for the last 4 years I opted to take some time out to travel. On my return I was given an opportunity that was too big to turn down at HSBC. My career in Finance began here, first in a number of roles that combined banking with applying and advising on rules and procedures within Human Resources and then in a more Finance orientated role in Middle Office commencing in 2010. Over the last ten years I have really enjoyed supporting the trading and sales desks as well as dealing with financial products. However I have enjoyed this most when it has been mixed with the application of regulations or laws." Giovanni [/QUOTE]
