I have a job interview on wednesday

for a trainee mortgage advisor job with abbey.

2 things, the main rpoblem i have is that i have been travelling asia and australia for the last 18 mnths & i DID default on my loan repayments & my credit score is low.experian say i am a high risk borrower. could this lose me any potential job?

i have explained on my application (in the financial questions part) that i was in remote areas for long periods of my travels & lost track of things. which is the truth.

since being home i have agreed payment plans!

i had a mortgage agreed myself recently too.

what do people think about this???

also with regards to the intervie im just seeing if anyone knows what i can be in sotre for? apprently ive got a role play exersise to get through.. (eeek)

can any of you advisors give me any pointers? or know what kind of answers i should be giving to questions.

i have experience in the FS sector, ive worked for a main life assurance company for the last 7 years in the customer services department.

ive got no sales experience as our books have been closed for some time here but i did work on the lead managment section generation leads for ifa's

ive also attended, TCF workshops & plain english courses recently. should i mention this?

i sit me cemap 1 on thursday too, christ talk about a lot on my plate.
