Just "self employed" will get your resume tossed in a lot of cases. Employers know that people that had businesses are not going to buy into every bullshit line that comes out of the personell office's care and feeding of employees handbook, nor will they like working for the corporate idiots and accepting such a small piece of the pie.
What makes day trading a resume killer?
- Thread starter collaredshirts
- Start date
Because the Recruitment Personnel know that if you were a trader, and is looking for a job now, then that obvioulsy you didn't succeed. You have a "failed LOSER" written all over you.
It is not like, I was a Credit Analyst and now want to do something else.. but, I was a day trader and now I want to go back to work.... just not the same thing.
So my advice to traders... Don't be a loser. Work hard to make money.
Stuff like this maybe? http://topics.nytimes.com/top/refer...S AND ATTEMPTED MURDERS&field=des&match=exact
The reason that daytraders may be considered crazy, is that most people are risk adverse. So, they think, "Why would anyone risk losing money every day, if they could just go to work and collect a check." However, many would like to daytrade successfully, so they may resent a failed daytrader, because the failed daytrader across the table from them only confirms their worst fears.
Daytrading is attractive, because it's the "easiest" business, in this respect: In no other business can you buy something and sell it for a higher price without adding value to it!
