I am starting the process of applying for a million different asset management jobs and obviously want my resume to stick out. What are thoughts on online certifications (python, bloomberg, financial modeling, etc...) does it make a bigger difference?

Python is good, as long as you actually know how to use it, as opposed to just getting a meaningless certification. (I liked datacamp) There is nothing more embarrassing than showing your boss that you lied in the interview or your first assignment. I've never heard of anyone learning Bloomberg/FactSet/Morningstar Direct in a class. I and everybody I know learned by diving in and using the various help desks. Morningstar has a decent training built into the program. The other two just expect you to leverage the help desks for everything.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
