I have always had a passion for helping people develop successful careers, specially when it comes to professionals in financial services.

First in investment banking (as Recruiting Captain for Morgan Stanley’s Sales and Trading division), and later again as an entrepreneur, I have continued to invest focus and energy in identifying, recruiting and training talent.

Today, among other activities, I collaborate with the IE Business School as an Assistant Professor, where I lecture on topics like self-awareness or execution, and I also help Masters in Finance and MBA candidates understand the world of finance and maximise their chances of getting a job in the industry.

Over time, I have identified seven key aspects that determine a candidate’s effectiveness in a recruiting process, regardless of industry, applicable for both graduates or experienced hires:

  1. Applying for the right position for you (my example early in my career comes in handy).
  2. The understated — yet critical — importance of your Resumé.
