Out of work, was in mortgage advice, where shall i go from here?

I feel as if this role is no longer for even though I was good when the market was good. Not sure if I should stay in Sales, any advice would be appreciated!Out of work, was in mortgage advice, where shall i go from here?
I am/was in exactly the same position so I really sympathize for u. It's a huge shame the markets so bad because it can be sick a rewarding role both financially and personally, helping ppl save money or a young family set up their 1st home is an extremely rewarding thing to be part of.





Anyway more to the point I was also a mortgage advisor and had to look for a new job closer to home. Of you really have lost the passion to sell then I suggest you go into either customer service, supervisory or managment work but stay in financial services. Why waste all that experience and knowlede of products, compliance, customer skills etc. Maybe get a job in a bank ( many are employing for non advisor roles as I was searching too) I'm sure the manager would kill to have someone with your experience to coach less experienced and non specialised staff, there might also be a chance to earn a bit of commission if u don't mind a bit of sales too. Or like myself maybe get into mortgage advisor supervisory work, this would mean you stay in the same field and your employers may continue your exams to advanced CeMAP, I have just been offered this role. It has meant taking a paycut but it's a job n pays the bills in a worsening financial climate.





Keep your head up n keep searching as it's not easy finding a job however, you will find 1 eventually.

Well....I guess it depends on your interests, time you have to spend on education, what your current education is-degree? etc., past employment experience...If I were to suggest something for the short term, I would say that y0ou should find a job in a large retail store such as Saks 5th Ave or Nordstrom where you will be commission based and be able to make money on your own terms. Its something that your selling experience will help you in and if you are the best of the bunch you will make the money. Thats how those stores work.
You may try going into customer services. It would be a fairly easy transition and there are more opportunities there right now.
