Hello,
Can i use “Professional Memberships: CFA Level 2 Candidate June 2012, CFA Level 1 achieved June 2011” in this wording in my CV under qualifications ?
thanx in advance
 
Of course you can state that you are a L2 candidate and that you passed L1, but you can only list it under “professional memberships” if you’re really a regular or affiliate member of CFAI.
 
I can’t fully explain why, but I just threw up in a my mouth a little.
 
I would NOT put that on your CV…very wrongly worded.
just put either “passed CFA level 1 exam” or “CFA level 2 candidate: sitting June 2012 exam”….or something similar to that.
I think it’s redundant to say you are a level 2 candidate AND that you passed level 1…
 
CFA Level 2 Candidate.
(explains where you are, and where you’ve been)
Seriously…..does no one remember there is a section on this in the Ethics portion of the exam. This question comes up once a week….CFAI clearly discusses exactly how you are to represent this on a resume.
 
You should say, “Achievement Unlocked: Passed L1”.
 
Card Shark is right….how did you pass Level 1 without knowing this?
You can only establish you are a Level II candidate if you are signed up for the Level II exam. I also agree with BuySide…it’s redundant to use both phrases…
Last Note: don’t be a chump, use Roman numerals
 
You can also say - “Level 2 CFA, thereby guaranteeing superior performance”.

ohai is a xbox 360 guy. halo or COD?
 
Given everyone’s input, I think this is exactly how to put it:
“Achievement Unlocked: Level 2 CFA, Passed CFA 1 , thereby guaranteeing superior performance”

+1
p.s. agree with the Roman numerals…this is a must in my mind.
