Message: <blockquote data-quote="Carl Morris" data-source="post: 95547" data-attributes="member: 17005">Thank you Andy for the informative post. I find your recommendations very motivating. I can foresee posting a thread on this topic in the near future, but I will do some more reading on this site and others to ensure it hasn't been discussed already. In particular I would appreciate any advice on acceptable ways of marketing myself. This particular avenue seems very appealing to me to help round out my skill sets and demonstrate my abilities for future employers. But this is somewhat off topic from this thread, so I don't want to get too much more into it. Given the rapidly changing regulatory environment on Wall Street and the recent troubles starting in 2008, I agree with you wholeheartedly on this point. I look forward to reading more on this forum, others, and researching the industry further to make sure that I develop marketable skills. Although I have many more questions that are more suitable to other threads, I do have a follow up question that I feel is related to career development. What are the best ways to demonstrate on your resume and in interviews that you have the "skill sets" for the job? Over the course of the next several years, I am sure that I will read a lot books, attend some courses, and even complete a few projects. Documenting project experience seems like a good way demonstrate skills that were used on particular projects, but what can I do if I have a skill that has only been acquired in the class room or from reading?</blockquote>
