Hi, I recently passed my Cemap Qualifications. I am new in this industry as I have no Mortgage or Financial Services experience.
Can you please give me any advice what should be my first step forward in getting experience and gaining CAS status.
I have seen people have talked about joining Networks.
I would appreciate your suggestions to kick start my Mortgage career.
Thanks

I would suggest you join cherry. It is a mortgage broker forum. If you have no industry experience you will probably need to work as employed first for a corporate e.g countrywide, sequence etc as they take on beginner advisors. People tend to leave the big corporates after a number of years learning on the job to then become self employed. Starting as a self employed advisor under a network is nigh on impossible as you need to get CAS status which you need a lot of training to get.
Effectively you have now got your beginners licence but you need to learn to drive before being let loose on a motorway1 -
Thanks for your advice0
