The Mozzachio List features Moira Conlon on its podcast

Moira Conlon outlines how to get started in the financial industry with zero experience and build your own personal brand.

Moira Conlon joined Nancy H. Mozzachio, managing principal of Sine Qua Non RE Advisors, on The Mozzachio List podcast to discuss the unlikely start of her career in investment banking...as a secretary at Merrill Lynch. She had zero financial background but made herself indispensable to her bosses, so they decided to lobby for her to join the financial analyst program. The lessons she learned from those early days have guided her throughout her career:

Good old-fashioned hard work never goes out of style
You succeed by adding value
Jump in, get with the team, and be on the team
Get things done
Do things without being asked - be that person who raises your hand and takes on the next project
Don't go in with the attitude that you can't compete in a man's world and that men won't help you
Help the people around you look good - they will help you back
Be resourceful
Build and nurture your network
