Financial Representative Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I am a college senior who has just been recently been accepted for a job contract with a financial investment company to become a financial representative. I am now filling out the paperwork for the job contract/background check - should I not provide information regarding my debt with a credit card I recently have (and recently settled in court)? Could I really be denied employment now just because I took out a credit card when I was 19, maxed it out and now paying it off? This is scaring me. If you are a financial representative or work in the industry, please let me know ASAP.

I'm currently applying for a "Financial Services Representative" position and I am on my third and last interview. For this last interview I am writing up a market plan for my approach if I do obtain the job. So my question is for a ball park of what a first year ball park for the number of achievable clients would be. I understand this is a hard number to guess, but how many clients could a good adviser get? How many could a bad adviser get?

I received an unsolicited email earlier tonight offering me a job interview with MetLife as a "Financial Services Representative/Financial Advisor". The email says the company I will be interviewing with is the Allentown branch of East Penn Financial Group, and as best I can find out, they are a real company and a real subsidiary of MetLife. Has anyone else received similar emails? Is it a scam or do I actually go to the interview on Thursday?

I went to college to become a financial adviser in financing/accounting but, every job opening I look at online says you must have experience like 3-4 years sometimes 5-10 but, how am I suppose to earn experience in the job field if there is no job that I can find that accepts someone without experience? Should I tell them ill work for less money until I get more experience? Will they hire me that way? Thanks. You wouldn't hire someone who hasn't had any experience? Just cause I don't have experience doesn't mean i wouldn't be good at managing your money I mean after all that is what i went to college for so i'm sure i would know how to manage it.

I need to write a thesis statement on the job of a sales representative( job, needed skills, salary, etc.) how does this sound: Sales representatives need to be driven, outgoing, and persistent. Sales representatives with outgoing, persistent, and driven personalities will not only successfully represent a business and their products, but will also make a major financial contribution to the economy. sorry didnt mean to put the first sentence in there. i copied it from word and i accidently copied that sentence (which i ended up erasing)

I have just received my bachelors degree and have so far only had small side jobs. When I'm looking online now, I don't even know where to start. I know that I would most likely be starting off low, but I am looking for an industry that would be cool to work in with increasing opportunities in the years to come. Does anyone have any advice for that?
