Isidra tells us:


I have a MBA degree and concentration in finance, looking for an entry level financial analyst position in the corporate finance area. What are the important skills normally required? I have a feeling that what I’ve learned from school does not match what are wanted in real world. So what skills are really expected from an entry-level financial analyst?

    you need to have a Wide Business Understanding and People Skills Needed
    To be good in banking you need a broad understanding of business because your job will most likely involve interacting with businesses. People skills are essential because you will be helping people get the loans and investments that they want.
    Accounting and Writing Skills are Crucial
    The most common jobs in commercial banking are as a credit analyst and as a lending officer. These jobs require a strong understanding of accounting. Because banking often requires that you document loans and justify credit analyses you’ve written communication skills are extremely important.
