how strong are we as job candidates

HI XR,

(another blog)

If you think my resume and my background are strong among job candidates, you are wrong. I now recall that my resume was sent to about 20 – 40 wall street positions since end of 2009, but only citi, barclays, JPM, MS, UBS and RBC had positive feedback. Many of those jobs i didn't pass the tech screening. Majority of those hiring managers didn't like my resume at all. If you ask me, they like

* strong employer names like GS, MS …
* relevant domain experience. I actually failed many trading system positions due to lack of experience. That's why i'm so keen to get into mainstream trading.
* online test scores

I probably did better in person than online tests. I guess your test score is higher. Did you really read up on applet, AWT, Swing, RMI, XML?
