Trading internship

[fab_]

Hi all,

I really need your advice. I am 29yr F and having had a whole other career I am now burning to get into trading for a second career. I've been reading and learning over past year and a half but I have no qualification as in degree, etc. in this area- as of yet anyway.
I have been trading from home and have found that I'm really good at it, I love watching and reading about the markets and I would do anything now to get a trading internship.

How up against it am I, being female, 29, and having no qualification in finance? I can sell myself to them in that I've been successful in my previous career and studies and other hobbies and I know I have the character traits they want and my cv will illustrate that, but I still wonder what can I do to make sure I won't be overlooked for a male, younger, with a finance related degree. I am prepared to do whatever study it takes to get to my best level in this.

Also, if anyone has any advice about how I should go about applying for an internship please post.

Thanks a mil.

Big time.

A bit like Lichenstein trying to win a war against Israel I'd say.

Why are my messages not being posted????????? This was a legitimate thread and moderators have allowed sexist comments to go through, and yet have been moderating me?

 

[Ambrose Ackroyd]

A GSOH would be a good start for a trader.

Thats t2w for you. Were you swearing or committing flame offences?

 

[Ambrose Ackroyd]

WTF are flame offences ?

Yes this thread quite neatly proves why so many deks afraid to hire women, no matter how much they claim to enjoy banter they're a lawsuit waiting to happen

 

[Ambrose Ackroyd]

Yes, better they stay chained to the kitchen sink really.

It's a more familiar environment.

your post is up now, sorry about that. what can i say, you must be a naughty girl out there on the wider web somewhere as it's an auto function. seriously though, if there are any posts that offend then please use the report function (red flag) and we deal with them - ok
