You should definitely put level I candidate on your resume, especially if you are looking for junior level poitions. Obviously nobody is going to think you are a financial wizard because of it, but it shows that you've at least somewhat thought through what career you want to pursue and what steps you need to take to get there versus just randomly sending out resumes to job openings you found online. At the very least, it was always brought up as a topic of coversation (how is studying going? what do you think of the material? it stinks you can't enjoy memorial day weekend, etc) in every interview I went on when I was a level I candidate.

But more imporantly, you sold your bike for this? Are we talking like a harley, or a basket and a bell on the handlebars?
