Once More Into the Breach

I’m preparing for an interview this afternoon for a nonprofit company here in Boston, and really looking forward to it. The opening is for a Financial Analyst with a hefty load of budgeting analysis responsibilities, and assistance with providing information for financial reporting. I’d report directly to the CFO. Hopefully I’d be able to get occasional exposure to the board of the directors, because it has some pretty impressive resumes attached to it. In general I’m looking forward to the interview and I really want the job.

The opportunity came through a placement agency, and I was able to get some good information regarding what they’re looking for and how to tailor the way I present myself. I have a good due diligence package including a financial summary for the company, a LinkedIn dossier of the CFO (since I’ll be meeting with him in a few hours), and a detailed version of the job posting. The salary looks pretty good, and this job definitely fits within my career plan. Getting some good corporate financial analysis and budgeting experience would put me onto the CFO or Controller path ten or fifteen years down the road.

Thinking positive thoughts now.
