I just graduated and am looking to become a financial advisor, where should I apply to? |
I am looking for something in Eastern PA Here is a job site that specializes on Financial Advisor positions. Check it out. http://smarthunt.com/smartjob.cfm?projec... The five best ways to try to find a job, listed in order from lowest success rate to best, are: 1.Asking for job leads from: family members, friends, people in the community, staff at career centers -- especially at your local community college or high school or college where you graduated. 2.Knocking on the door of any employer, factory, or office that interests you, whether they are known to have a vacancy or not. 3.By yourself, using the phone book's Yellow Pages to identify subjects or fields of interest to you in the town or city where you are, and then calling up the employers listed in that field, to ask if they are hiring for the type of position you can do, and do well. 4.In a group with other job hunters, using the phone book's Yellow Pages to identify subjects or fields of interest to you in the town or city where you are, and then calling up the employers listed in that field, to ask if they are hiring for the type of position they can do, and do well. 5.Doing A Life-Changing Job-Hunt. A job hunt is just a job hunt until we come to that point in our lives where we want to set our feet upon a new path. When the traditional job hunt doesn't work very well at all. A life changing job hunt requires a different approach. You are contemplating radically shifting direction. This is called by various names. Sometimes it's called "Find Your Dream Job," Sometimes it is called "a career change." Peace and every blessing! College If I were you, I'd get hooked up with another financial advisor as a mentor. Let him or her guide you through all the ins and outs of this field. There are many pitfalls. Other than that, get your Series 6 & 63 licenses so that you can sell mutual funds. Also, you have a whole boatload of classes to take if you plan to be ChFC. An LUTCF doesn't hurt one little bit. If you walk in with some of those designations, you're going to be taken much more seriously by your mentor which will help you tremendously in your career. Good luck! Insurance companies are the best at advising. Northwestern Mutual has the best reputation in the industry for both their products and career path. MassMutual and New York Life also have a solid reputation. Stay away from MetLife and Ameriprise because their training program is a joke. I would also caution applying at stock brokers because their philosophy is more quantity of clients than quality of service. Intern at financial service firm |
