This thought is going through my head every minute of every day too!!! I'm hoping for a spot of good luck where I just randomly get chatting to some people who are interested in what I can do... Then with a little more luck they'll see I've done them a good job & with a little more good luck they'll tell all their friends & collegues and send them to me!

Lol, I broke a mirror this morning tho! Talk about an omen eh?!?!

[quote=Elphaba;30700]A good friend of mine has recently set up a new mortgage broking company and is looking for advisers and possibly administrators. The advisory positions will be self-employed, but if anyone is interested, please

I am fully qualified CeMAP and CeFA 1 & 2 . I have been a mortgage broker for 7 years , if you can give me your friends details for the mortgage broker position. Thanks

I started with a small building society and then joined Lloyds TSB as a tied advisor then moving to Pearl Assurance (now part of AMP) as an Area Manager advising on a range of pension, investment and proection products provided by the firm. Having left there I was employed with HSBC as a Financial Planning Manager advising clients on a range of HSBC products. I then spent 7 years with Savills Private Finance as an IFA then moving into a specialist division advising on mortgages via the whole market place in the UK.

I am now working with Cluttons Private Finance where I am respsonsible for the development of the Engel & Volkers Private Finance division in the UK and Ireland.

I am fully FPC 1 2 and 3 qualified with CeMAP.

I have not failed in the UK at all as I have been a top producer with Savills and am now following suit with Cluttons. I am merely wishing to explore my options and develop my career.

I have developed a client bank over the years that have followed me to every organisation I have been employed with. As you are no doubt aware, providing quality advice and an unparalled service is paramount. Our business is the most people orientated industry I know where people buy people.

I you feel you are still not interested in my offerings, I would be extremley grateful if you have any other advice or if you can put me in touch with somebody who may be able to help with my hunger to learn more about the financial services industry in Dubai and areas that specialise in mortgage broking.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear MSRUSSLE,

I have read your posts with interest and would like to contact you regarding a position with my company here in Dubai.

I have been an expatriate for 19 years with most of those being based here in the Gulf. I own my own Mortgage Brokerage that is primarily based here in Dubai. We are opening offices in Hong Kong and KL early next year. We are a pure Expatriate Brokerage specialising in mortgages for expatriates all around the world. You would be expected to understand the mortgage markets for several countries and not just the UK or Dubai.

All advisers within the company are qualified to at least the benchmark of their home country; as you are, and those that are new to the industry fall into our academy training program where they are trained in house and by the CII here in Dubai.

I am certainly looking for qualified advisers as we are growing rapidly and require expertise to cope with demand.

If you are interested then please just reply and we can discuss this on the telephone.

Regards

David

Hi,

I am a fully qualified financial adviser working in London, UK, right now. I wish to relocate to Dubai in the same career path. Can you provide me with your email address for me to send you my CV?

IFA roles in Dubai are nearly all commission only positions and only suitable to anyone who is a self-starter and able to find their own clients. There are no fringe benefits (no allowances etc), just an opportunity to earn a good income from honest work.

We are not (for the time being at least) looking for mortgage brokers, and would expect anyone to have at least the full Certificate in Financial Planning (or FPC) or equivalent.

Whilst regulator requiremebts are much lower than in the UK, my company works to standards higher than any other company in Dubai and do not want anyone who has either failed to deliver in the UK, or who is simply out to make a fast buck.

The financial services industry in Dubai still has a poor reputation, but we are working ethically to try and change that. Too many so-called advisers have poor knowledge, no qualifications and no concern for their clients' best interests. They are simply salesmen and that is not what we do.

If anyone genuinely fits this criteria, only then would I be interested in hearing from them. Thanks.
