    I'm not sure how you would go about becoming a trainee mortgage advisor I'm afraid, as it's not something I've ever done - I've always worked for a bank, in the mortgage or approvals department. But if you need to know anything 'technical' about mortgages etc, I might know the answer, and can probably find out if not.

    Looking at trainee mortgage advisor placements.

    Me too! I'm just waiting for the study materials to arrive for the CeMap1 exam as thats what most of the Trainee Mortgage Advisor jobs I've seen advertised up here are asking for as a prerequisite.

    Good luck on the job hunt

    When i was 'relieved' from an agency job for some mind numbing work for a total tool of a boss, I stopped at my pc on the way out and permanently deleted all the work I had been doing over the past 2 months. I still smile to myself when I picture him looking for the spreadsheet with all the data on it...

    Just a thought but there's quite a few mortgage advisors go on the House Buying, Renting, Selling & Prices board - they might be able to give you some pointers.

    sammy115... you're my hero! I know that's not a very DFW thing to say but I am so impressed. There's been so many times I've wanted to do what you did but have been too scared. You brave lady!

    I'm sure everything will work out for the best - it will give you a chance to figure out what you really want to do. Good luck!

  • Well done, made a career out of quitting jobs, think I walked out of five, most satisfying was punching a former boss, (we made up), you spend far too much of your life at work to spend it stressed, get a less paid, more rewarding job, study, get your allowances, whatever it takes, I am on half of what I have earned in the past and live very frugally, more time with my kids and more fun when I do. No more shall I work for the flash car, over sized house and headache inducing imported beer and low quality cannabis :)

  • Hi Sammy!

    It will all work out for the best - it usually does; sometimes it just takes something dramatic to force the issue. And now you've done that, hopefully you'll feel more confident in the next thing you do.

    Good Luck Sammy!!!! :j

    And don't forget that your old boss can't give you a bad reference by law. Ok, he might refuse, but it's unlikely. He may have realised just how happy you were all along.
