Hi, my name is Danielle and I am interested in becoming a Financial Analyst. I have my Bachelor's degree in Business Management and currently pursuing my MBA (no emphasis unfortunately). I have 6 years experience in Finance with the Army National Guard. At my civilian empoyer I am a Finance Assistant and trying to work my way into an Financial Analyst position within my company, but open to looking at outside positions as well.
Are there certain certifications I should look at that will strengthen my chances of becoming a Finance Analyst? Should I look at going back for a BS in Finance (only 20 more credits)? Would anyone be willing to look at my resume and provide feedback to build a stronger resume?
Any advise is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Danielle

You should pursue the CFA designation. An MBA will give you the basic business knowledge but you need skills that are applicable since you have some experience. A concentration in Finance would be the best compliment to the MBA, imho.
You could probably try applying to JP Morgan in New York City. They're hiring, according to their posts on LinkedIn.
Hi Danielle,
I would also be honored to review your resume and speak with you about opportunities to move into a financial analyst role. I currently manage finance recruiting for Intel and could walk you through what we look for when hiring financial analysts.
Best Regards,
