How and When to Follow Up After Completing an Interview or Forwarding Your Resume
Have you been putting off sending a follow-up note after submitting your resume or completing that long-awaited interview? A word to the wise: Don't. A full 81 percent of senior managers who responded to a survey late last year said they expect job candidates to follow up within two weeks of applying for a job. Executives were asked, "How long should a job seeker wait to follow up with the hiring manager after submitting a resume?"

What to Say When Your Interviewer Asks, "Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years?"
It's been called the granddaddy of interview questions: "Where do you see yourself five years from now?" Many financial services newcomers and even those with experience continue to sweat it out over this question, but so long as you're prepared for your interviewer to make use of this old chestnut, you should do just fine.

Drained of Ideas at the Interview and Still No Offer
It's very hard not to feel dirty, very dirty, when you've been used. But according to a number of seasoned finance execs and financial recruiters, they've all known employers who pick the brains of prospective employees and later use the info to their own advantage. If you're the one being used and then you don't land the job, it can be more than a bit maddening. So what choice do you have when it's necessary to be specific about your new product or client-generating idea in an interview, but you fear the firm might have less than sincere motives when digging for more details?
