CFA in a line...

[rtcol88]

I’m currently sending out my CV and writing short cover letters. If you had to describe the CFA in one or two lines how would you do it?

In my cover letter, I put something like, “I wanted to learn more about finance so I became a candidate of the CFA program.”

Too bad the good old days are (mostly…) over thanks to compliance departments and liability, and usually these days it’s just dinner, or what I call “Dorks and Forks”

Haha, I like that.
