http://www.theladders.com/
This site is made for MBA students and top level executives to find jobs typically paying $100 k or more. Thats what the advertising says anyways, but I havnt used the site yet personally. If anyone has any experience with them, please let me know.
Jobfox, the “personal branding” site for job seekers that allows them to market themselves to potential employers, says it is doubling its sales staff in response to strong demand.
Based in McLean, Virginia, the company also has sales offices in four major cities, and will be expanding to six more. It is also entering into a deal with Australian jobs site MyCareer.
We’ve previously written about the strategies of Jobfox and a competitor called Trovix. A third company, Jobster, recently showed signs of weakness, replacing its co-founder and CEO with a more experienced exec. Draper Fisher Jurvetson led the $20 million round, with Menlo Ventures and New Enterprise Associates also participating.

Resumes
Resume Building:
1. Education: get a masters degree, doctorate degree PhD, MBA,etc...
2. Certification:
- for careers in finance, there is a CFA charter, which might be more valuable than an MBA for advancing your career. See article from the Economist here
- In Hedge Funds, there is an innovative attempt to make a new "Chartered Hedge Fund Associate" (CHA) designation ....see discussion here . This one was launched as a LinkedIn group (HFG) that attracted some 15,000 members...then they decided to launch a certification program...not sure if it will succeed, but its a good attempt.
Resume tips...
Rules to follow:
o Examine how you use white space on the sheet of paper.
o Use the HEADER to conserve space so that you can tell your success stories.
o Where appropriate, choose the bullet point over the paragraph. Keep it clear and precise.
o Use Times Roman for the best text look.
o Use no smaller than a 10 font, and no larger than 12-14 for your name in bold.
o Contact information should appear clearly under your name in the 9-10 font.
o Addresses, phones, fax, cell numbers, and email addresses are important.
o Use categories, in 12-14 font in bold.
o If you use the OBJECTIVE category, limit it to one line, clear and precise.
o Your next or even first category should be professional experience.
o You may even use a category of Summary of Qualifications. Bulleted, of course.
o List the most recent entry first, whether professional or educational.
o Use action words to describe responsibilities and results: Managed, designed, supervised, etc.
o Avoid errors in grammar, spelling, and spacing.
o Computer proportional text spacing requires one space only after a . or a :.
o Indicate quantitative accomplishments with numbers not percentages or use both.
o For personal information in the U.S., you do not need to mention birth date or marital status.
o Include information about your computer literacy and software fluency.
o Include information about your other languages: Conversational Finnish.
o Add information about awards, recognition, and the like.
o Include information about your outside interests.
o Avoid stretching the truth about any item you include. Be honest and frank.
o You may use your GPA once you finish a degree. Otherwise, it’s a work in progress.
o Your résumé is a work in progress. Work on improving it. Never look at it as a completed task.
o Ask a friend or colleague to look at your résumé and comment.
o Before you print it, go into Word, click on Print Preview and notice the use of black/white space.
o Use xerographic paper that has rag content.
o Use white paper.
o Know your audience.
o Know the purposes of your résumé.
o As a rule of thumb, keep the résumé to one page, with margins no smaller than .5 inches.
o If you have more than 7 years experience, consider the two-page résumé.

Interview questions
The hardest part of an interview is sitting through the series of strange, tough and interesting interview questions. To help you with this process, there is an interesting website: take a look
Salary info
www.salary.com
www.payscale.com
You should visit these sites to get an understanding about how much money you could / should be making based on your level of employment, type of job, location, etc. It is well worth a visit to these sites before going on any job-hunting, or any interview.
Notice to Bankers
If you want to be compensated like a banker, then stay in banking. Every week, I talk to candidates who want to move from banking to private equity or venture capital and then tell me that they need the compensation to match what they make in their banking role. There’s a tongue-in-cheek recruiter’s joke about why the investment banks pay more – it’s to make you forget that you don’t like the work, or the people or not having A LIFE – and it works, until you remember, and that’s just about bonus time so they give you more money to help you forget! Seriously, banks have historically paid more than principal investment firms and, although that gap has narrowed at the very large PE shops in recent years, it remains true for the overall industry. Private equity and venture capital firms have different business models, different job responsibilities and usually more attractive work cultures. If you’re focused more on maximizing immediate cash comp, keep doing banking. If you are interested in improving your long term net worth, then accept the short term cash flow adjustment. If you’re focused on the long term opportunity, be prepared to stop thinking about what you “woulda, coulda, shoulda” made if you were a banker. more rules...
