FPA of Georgia Career Day

We’re shaking up Career Day at FPA-GA. This year, we’re combining industry education and speed interviewing. You’ve heard of “speed dating,” right? We’ve taken that concept and applied it to Career Day. No, we’re not finding you a date. We’re helping you find a career opportunity and learn more about the industry.


Prior to the event, you’ll receive a ZIP file with job descriptions from hiring companies. Some companies may be hiring immediately. Other companies may be hiring later in the year. Concurrently, companies attending the event will receive a ZIP file with each attendees’ resume, if provided.


The event’s program will be as follows:

4:30PM – 5:30PM | Panel Discussion


Next, we’ll present a panel of company representatives – each representing a different model and service approach to the financial planning community (e.g. RIA, Broker-Dealer, insurance advisor, planning only, etc.).  The panel will give you an overview of their corporate structure – including such topics as their compensation models and training programs.


5:30PM – 7:PM | Speed Interviewing


After the panel discussion, you will be given an opportunity to meet with company representatives using a speed interviewing method. Company representatives will be stationed at tables set up around the room. You will rotate from each table every ten minutes. In this way, you will learn more about each company and broaden your knowledge of the financial services industry.  We’ve attached helpful tips to make your speed interviewing experience a success.


We look forward to seeing you at our new and improved Career Day! Click here to register as an attendee. Click here to register as a company representative.
