I am currently working in a managerial role in the Retail industry, I have good enough skills of operations, staffing, Microsoft office, CRM tools etc. I want to now move into the Office jobs like I used to back in my home country, but need some help to tailor my resume. What do recruiters really look into? because I have already used the office jargon and keywords and directed my experience towards the desk part of my job but I still haven't gotten any interviews.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry.

I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.
