@TakashiNippon A lot of companies have FMP - Financial Management Programs that last for 2 years where they rotate you around the finance department and jobs with-in the company. Some big ones are Disney,GE,NBCuniversal... Best buy has one, boeing...just do a search. Its great experience to become a financial analyst and some jobs hire entry level analyst.

Hi eHow,
Can I ask you something? I have completed a bachelor of business studies with a double major in finance and economics. My goal is to work as a financial analyst but i don't know how to get into the field because they all require extensive job experience. I know that I have to start with an entry level job. But how best to go about it. I wonder if you have some advice for someone like me?
