CFA and grad schemes jobs, december, knowledge, investment

richer

I am a final year economics and politics student, who decided to study for a CFA (i sit this december).

It has come to that time where have to consider grad schemes and interns. I have little knowledge of where i want to be in the investment world, as i know little of it, I AM ALSO AWARE THE CFA LEVEL 1 GUARANTEES NOTHING.

I would like to know what grad schemes and jobs would look most favorably on a student who invested their loan in taking the CFA level 1?

i have read a little about investment analysts and figured i would enjoy that, i also have enjoyed quantative analysis, and found it very easy thus far. I enjoy the competitive meritocracy of the investment world and want to head for the most meritocratic place i can find.

So to whom and how do i sell myself?
