Hi Jason,
When you say networking with others in CFA society, I have a concern. I find that CFA society has very limited resources to the CFA candidates. The local society only accept CFA charter holder. For people who are still on the way to attain the charter, the only networking opportunity is discussions round the exams-learning material, exam preparation. For people who have passed the exams will have no intersts in those stuff. In fact, as we want to set foot in the area, we would like the opportunities to get to know more people already in the circle. However,I can't see such support from CFA society. The situation is people who are already in the circle tend to have more solidarity via the CFA society, whereas people who are outside the circle are casted off and see few chances to merge into the investment profession's group.

Another question is how to make myself known by the potential recruiters. Follow your advices, I have started to write my own research report. I selected a few companies and did in-depth analysis( the companies I selected don't have anything in common, not in the same industry, not in the same geographic region, not sweepingly high dividends stock, nor growth stock- could be either style. The only thing in common is that I believe they are good choices for value investors). I create my blog. The problem is how I can let other people, particularly the potential recruiters know? Do you have any suggestions on how to market myself?

Thanks, Jason.

Cheers,
Ruthy
