Default Wells Fargo

I have unsuccessfully been looking for work for the last few months, mostly in the finance field. I spoke with a headhunter last week and she told me that Wells Fargo is entry-level friendly. I remember reading a few posts about people looking for jobs in finance, especially entry-level ones. Maybe this theread could generate some ideas. Below I have pasted the three jobs I applied for this morning. Highlights from my resume: bachelors degree in finance from a state school, several NASD and insurance licenses along with 1 years experience selling life insurnace at Prudential. I was hoping that some of the more experienced posters could comment on these jobs. Obviously my best shot is job #1 since it has the least amount of requirements. I think job #3 would be best; I read in the Economist a few weeks ago that CDOs are in high demand right now. Also for the applications I put $40k for minimum salary. I think I might go back and change that as I have a feeling these jobs might go as low as $30k.

As someone planning to major in finance at a state school, and hoping to work in finance once I graduate, I'm very interested in seeing how this works out.

Good luck!

Not so hot. Undergrad GPA = 3.0. I'd like to take CFA I in December and maybe get my MBA a few years down the road.
