Dear Financial Planning Association of Minnesota:

I am currently a student of the College for Financial Planning, working toward my Registered Paraplanner (RP) certification. One of the requirements to be successfully awarded this designation is to complete an internship of a minimum of three-months full-time or the equivalent part-time (500 hours).

Previously, I sold residential real estate for 27 years with Edina Realty. I was awarded the CRS designation, Certified Residential Specialist, the highest designation in the industry.

After our Bloomington office closed, I switched gears and decided to obtain my undergraduate degree. As a student of Normandale Community College, I’ve consistently held a 4.0 grade point average and was invited to become a member of the prestigious Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society.

Last fall, in an economics class on personal finance, I found my next inspiration. I realize I have a love for finance. Cash flow statements, personal balance sheets, current ratios, liquidity ratios, time value of money, equity and debt instruments, mutual funds, retirement and estate planning are actually interesting to me. I would like to apply this enthusiasm and increasing skill set in a team setting. I contacted my personal financial planner and asked for his ideas and recommendations. He advised seeking a career as a registered paraplanner and suggested the online College for Financial Planning.

I would be extremely interested to speak with those that may have an entry level position available enabling me to learn from and serve others with potential for future employment. My resume is attached.

Very truly yours,

Jean Caizzo
