Big Chief2011647545501 Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 I am graduating from OU in June, and am looking for a job to start out with. I'm a finance and Economics major. I've had and extensive background in fine dinning restaurants and manual labor positions. I'm free to travel and trying to find a home base in columbus's German Village or that area since my girlfriend is working for riverside hospital. I dont really want to go into politics but if I have to thats fine. Anyone that can help please let me know. Thanks, Keith Semrau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MissTypeS Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 National City, Huntington, JP Morgan Chase, Bank One, Discover Card, Nationwide... are you seriously having a hard time finding a job with your degree? It seems like all of the banks are hiring and I'm sure there are opportunities in the finance departments of nearly every major corporation.

Mike_Shepard Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 HaHa this is why im a loser.. No degree in anything yet I have no problem finding a job. It seems like the more important you degree the less likely you are to find a job in that feild "sometimes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief2011647545501 Posted March 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 i completely agree JPmorgaqn are assholes you hvae to have the perfect resume and be a 4.0 student to get even considered. I want to work in cost analysis type area not a bank bitch, I did get interviewed for ameriquest financial as a finacial advisor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MissTypeS Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I'd stay far away from financial advisor positions... they're usually a "we'll teach you, you open your own" type situations. And there's nothing wrong with being a "bank bitch" - you have to start somewhere. There are too many new college grads with your degree for you to expect a middle-level position right out of the gate. I'm not trying to be a bitch or put you in your place... just be very willing to consider anything that will get you to your final goal in 5 years.

Unless of course you are a girl with a similar degree...then you go straight to Marketplace Sales Account Coordinator... -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 I got into Bank One (now Chase) 4 years ago without a degree. However, I did have 10 years of job experience . I guess that helped out. The morale around here at the bank kinda sucks. They're always canning people left and right now that we have merged with Chase (overlapping jobs). I will say it's pretty tough to get in (Depending on what job you want) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My degree isn't in finance and my position is still relatively basic, so don't get all huffy on me I also have 2 years of business experience on the recent college grads so I'm no longer entry-level. I started at the bottom just like most newbies, I'm just quickly working my way through the ranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryBMW Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 haha Hey now... My degree isn't in finance and my position is still relatively basic; so I have boobs and that's how i'm quickly moving through the ranks jk. Everyone starts at the bottom. The people that are good at what they do and show strong initiative are the ones that will advance quickly. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngryBMW Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 Fixed. Not true where I'm at. Those are the ones we flip a coin to decide if we fire them or not. Seriously. -Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJ Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 actually with a finance degree in Columbus you shouldn't have a problem finding a job that pays 35-40k to start out with. Apply for analyst jobs, you usually advance pretty fast with those and they usually have a very nice pay scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Chief2011647545501 Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I got a job with ameriprise financial anyone know anything about them? Bad or good? Ive heard both but not from the c-bus region. I've been thing about going to work for some representatives at the state house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MissTypeS Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Yeah they called me to work for them too. As I mentioned before though, I'd stay far away from financial advisor positions... they're usually a "we'll teach you, you open your own" type situations. Also, check these out: http://www.ameriprisesuck.com/ http://www.amexsux.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi I realize that practically all companies have the potential to have these kinds of sites against them, but its always interesting to learn a little from those who have already dealt with the company.
