I have owned my own real estate appraisal company for 5 years and I am looking to get a higher paying/more secure job in banking and finance. Where should I look and what can I do. The ups and downs of appraisals is really getting to me. These recent changes are mostly due to HVCC and other government intervention. I am hard working, dependable, and honest and recently my income has been reduced by 75?

I have heard that its a bad idea because I would be over qualified for any entry level finance jobs, but that just does not seem right to me. I would think it would look GOOD to have a masters degree. I would have some experience at a bank as a teller and an internship as well but no real big amount of experience. Please help, I'm so confused!

1 answer - Asked By: Bond - 4/22/2008
I'm currently applying for jobs and I notice my resume is nothing interesting that would catch the attention of interviewers. Reason being that I've always been working in small sized firms and there's no company in my resume that is recognizable in my industry (banking & finance). I'm a smart guy whom almost everyone who works with tells me so. Even my current abusive boss thinks so (no cigar for guessing why I want to leave). Qualification wise, I don't have an MBA but do have some quite decent professional qualification. I know if I can get an interview, my success rate of getting a job would be very high. I'm trying to figure out how to get bigger firms to notice me, short of starting from the bottom of the ladder.
