A scam put together to sell courses, I had a similar experience to the other negative reviews on here. If a recruiter ever asks you to buy a course, run away.

They may book you in for an “interview” and then ask you legitimate questions on behalf of a company that is interested in you. They did not disclose the identity of that company to me because of “contractual obligations”. The interview process may mimic a real-life interview. For instance, with me, they began with questions like why a career in finance then moved onto behavioural questions like; 1. Tell us about a time you had to overcome difficulty 2. Describe when you had to work until a tight deadline and lastly, they asked me how I would add value to the company. At this point, I asked again if I could know the name of the company to which the recruiter responded no. I was suggested to give a generic answer to this question. Afterwards, they may pretend they are putting you on hold while they are discussing your applications with their manager (as if 5 minutes are enough to discuss your application and then decide if you would want to progress further or not). Throughout the interview, they told me that I gave an excellent answer even if the answer was unstructured. I think this was just to keep me motivated to stay on the call. Then they may tell you how you have a really strong application, but you need an “x” license - in my case some FCA or regulatory license. Afterwards, they claimed that luckily the firm would not be doing interviews for the next 4-6 weeks and in the meantime I could work towards attaining a qualification (despite having an MSc and BSc degree in Economics already). Only if I initiate the course, will my application be considered for an interview. This is despite the fact that the position advertised was trainee financial analyst, with the key word here “trainee”. Then I was asked to search a few regulatory courses on google, (how legitimate are these courses god knows?). Then the caller tried to convince me to buy a course to attain a said license. This entire call may take an hour and I think is designed in such a manner to make you think that you have already invested so much in the application and have a realistic chance to progress further, so you might as well buy the books or the courses which were advertised for excessive amounts like £899, not to mention the add ons.

My experience with My Financial Careers has been a amazing, revealing, and in sum impacting. I received professional guidance from my personal advisor, Barry, who was exceptionally professional in guiding me. He constructively pointed out areas I needed to build on to make me a standout candidate for potential financial roles and made me aware of the areas I excelled in. I have so far been matched with available roles based on an extensive review of my CV and after going through a screening process to better my chances at landing a job in the finance sector, which seem to be very competitive currently. My advisor has kept a good communication with me since the start of my journey with MFC and I am positive that his efforts, dedication and hard work, will result in me earning me a huge success in my job hunt and also with a good company. I will recommend MFC to anyone, anyday. Samuel

I have recently been supported by My Financial Careers as a candidate. From the first contact through to securing a role they were absolutely amazing. They genuinely care about your situation and how you have come to the stage you are in finding a new position. They are quick to respond be it phone or email and keep you informed of all stages of application through to interview and beyond. It has been a refreshing experience to have this genuine support and service from recruitment professionals. I will definantly be recommending this service to friends and professional contacts in the future

I must say I came to MFC with what I thought was a good CV, After talking with the advisor she helped me redesign my CV so it was an industry standard. We discussed my chosen position that I wanted to work in and helped me decide what the next step was I needed to take. I had 3 interviews before I got a job which I don't blame them as I failed the interview. I must say they were patient with me and really helped me. I'm not the most confident person when walking in to an interview. Thank you.

My experience was smooth. My Financial Careers were supportive of me throughout the application process. My advisor even mailed me an information pack containing pointers for the interview stages and information on the company offering the vacancy. My interview is within a couple of weeks. Wish me luck all.

It was great working with Samantha she really showed faults in my CV that I never picked up on. Fingers crossed on my interview she gained me come this Friday.

After deciding to make the jump into the financial industry, I applied for a few positions I saw advertised on their website for Trainee and Graduate positions in the Investment sector. My advisor, Beth, was very helpful throughout the whole process. She helped me to re-format my CV to make it more tailored for finance, submitted my application in the hope of gaining interview opportunities, as well as providing interview advice and training. Overall, I am very happy with the service provided and would recommend them to anyone looking to break into the finance sector!
