Additional Information

• We of course are looking for candidates that can hit the ground running but we need folks who can handle financial data in large data bases and a lot of the resumes the folks have not had much exposure to this or from what we can surmise. It would be helpful of course in some cases if there were some examples of this but if not we passed on the individual.
• There have been a few resumes that hardly listed much of their skill set or how they used it and we are not sure of those individuals.
• I think the key items that we are looking for is someone with experience with large data sets using some type of extraction software and doing a lot of analysis review (data analytics) and calculations is a plus. I will consider someone who might have the skill set on a smaller basis but we need to understand how it was used as the resumes are not always very clear in these situations
• Hope that helps as some of those resumes where they just listed skills were not helpful as I tried to see if the skills were current or some examples were provided.
