Dear Dr. Badrinath:
I currently am a Corporate Recruiter for Vanguard, one of the world’s largest investment management companies. I have been tasked with hiring 100+ recent or upcoming college graduates into one of our Client Relationship Specialist roles, an opportunity to launch an exciting career within our Retail Investor Group.
