I'm currently a financial analyst, and I have to say that it is incredibly rough place to be right now. Banks are shedding jobs left and right. Just make it known to your prospective employer that you have been researching and keeping up to date in the finance world.

You can, perhaps, start writing about finance as well. Start a blog and do some financial modeling, post it up. Do some due diligence on a stock, post it up. Shows ambition, and it hones your skills.
