Hi Daniel,

My thoughts are that the investment management business is very difficult to land a position in. In my situation I sent out over 500 resumes and cover letters over a 9 month period to investment management firms. In most cases the firms had no job advertised; so these were sent to them "cold." I had created a database of money management firms using the Internet - which you can still do to this day.

Of those 500 resumes sent I received 50 responses, 40 of which were "nos," 10 of which were interviews. Of the 10 interviews I got 3 job offers. That is well less than 1% of the resumes and cover letters I sent out. So an additional thought is to keep at it. You are in the hunt for the one "yes" not the multitude of "nos" - which are inevitable.

Best wishes for success!

Jason
