Job Applications

 


It sounds like many businesses are having problems hiring. I am interested in working and I view this blog  as my free online job application. Sorry, Indeed, LinkedIn Premium and AI.  We all need to have an experienced copilot. The sophisticated instruments demand help. The second opinion helps too. A successful business requires several opinions even if the final decision is made by the pilot/founder. I could be a good copilot. 


The old approaches die hard. I’m surprised there are still Psychic offices in many strip centers. We need to rationalize our business to insure our approach is new world. We also need to confirm our services are what our clients want today. It is a difficult transition for all involved. We need to embrace the new and improved solutions. I am technologically proficient.  




We can use the success of a subscription box in our business. The box includes items we want but would never buy individually. The contents include items we know our clients need. Sending a weekly box will be enjoyable for both of us. We need to incorporate the box in our weekly routine. I can help you design your box if you will hire me. 



We learn lasting lessons from our youth. Dodgeball taught us who we need to choose for our team. We need to rank what matters for our team’s dodgeball success. Is it quickness or is it a good accurate throw?  We need both but one is the most important characteristic. I don’t want to be your first pick, but I think I can help you win.


There are many cargo ships that have the holiday gifts we need. I hope my job application  will be the gift your firm needs.

Wempy Popeye and financial advisors fall for the “I’ll gladly pay pay you tomorrow for a Hamburger today” pitch.  Unfortunately Popeye and and most financial advisors provide their hamburger but seldomly get paid what the firms and Wimpy promise .  Why?  The advisors need the cash and Popeye is gullible.  On Wall Street the deals adjusted when the advisors changed firms looking for a new deal every five to eight years.  The recent Luminous departure shows that the advisory contracts need to be adjusted.  The new contracts are written by experienced firm...

Career Hacks

Image
We are in constant pursuit to be the best we can be in our profession.  Is there a hack to help us?  Some days it feels like others have found one.  The Baby Boomer hack was to be a Doctor, a Lawyer or work for Goldman Sachs.  Millennials believe in the power of social media hacks and that a job at Google is on the Yellow Brick Road.  This week I’ll look at other experts and share my opinion that there isn’t an easy solution to professional success. Academia Those who  can’t do teach and those who can’t teach, teach gym .  Many of the established ideas that guide people in the wealth advisory business where researched in academia.  While their research is credible most academics remain as advisors not a practitioners.   William Sharpe  might be an exception to this rule.  He lost at Long Term Capital but was a recent  winner with Financial Engines .  Resilient and richer. Conferences and Media We...
