IBank,

I have an interesting question for you which will undoubtedly put a spin on things.

Are you willing to take people who want to switch careers? I'm referring to myself in particular. I graduated with engineering degree in 2007. Worked in IT networking for Cisco the next 5 years in US and most recently Singapore.

I have been self studying finance and economics with the intention of doing a career switch because I discovered after working in the world for a bit that finance is my ultimate passion. I fit almost all that you are looking for except that I don't have a formal finance background.

Since you don't seem to indicate that you need real working experience (this is an entry level position), are you willing to consider someone who actually has the drive and motivation except that he doesn't have formal backgrounds.

I can say up front that if you ask for a CV, there will be almost nothing of interest to you. Unless you enjoy looking at me explaining my school of hard knock.

I do believe however, that I will fare decently given a face to face interview.
