Mortgage Advisor Trainee

jo1sexykitten

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the board!

I decided last year that I needed to get my butt into gear and train to do the job I'd wanted to do for years.

So far I've passed my Cemap One......... What should I do next!??
I have no office experiance eeeek, but husband is a manager of an estate agents so I at least have an insight into his world!!

My dream would be to get a trainee role........

Any advice would be greatly recieved.

Thanks x

You need to get a position as a trainee, since you need to get your Competent Adviser Status via a Company.

Well don on your CeMap 1 - I have my 2 & 3, doing CeMap Course 1 this week. Start with my Company next week and take my CeMap 1 exam the week after.

Some of the mortgage advisers here and the trainees started a private online google group to discuss industry issues. If you would like to join I need your email address.

C&Q helping is like the blind helping the blind!

Unfortunately, although we have a lot of new Group members, we are all new to the business and no-one is responding to questions that has any experience. Could do with our qualified members posting please!

That gives you a significant advantage over most of the other trainees that enter the business. You have potential clients walking through the door daily.

Just reading a few threads and Ive noticed a lot of trainee mortgage advisor jobs are asking for sales experience even in banks. Has anyone got any advice how i can get sales experience quickly as I have failed customer service jobs in the past just becasue of lack of sales.
