Not too long ago, job boards like Monster, CareerBuilder and HotJobs were primed to put newspapers out of business. Surprisingly, now it seems that search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo! are set to dethrone both newspapers and job sites. As revenues and readership for newspapers have been on a consistent downward spiral since the birth of the Internet, their grip on classified advertising has been a major contributor. Particularly job postings. Since 1995, job sites have done an effective job of steadily taking dollars away from a once almighty print monopoly. As a result, online job classifieds were poised to take down print listing who could never compete with bargain basement price-points. However, another revolution was quietly occuring that today is poised to put job sites on the defensive. Search engines and Craigslist happened. Craigslist is, for the most part, a free service for online classifeds. By allowing to post jobs for free in all but three of its local markets, Craigslist has quickly become a site of choice for local job seekers an
Well, away we go covering the first part of the course and hey, what's this? Are we being tested so early? Yep, sure thing, mock multiple-choice questions at the end of each section covered. Not used to this though, I've not done exams since my school days. Still, must attempt them and see how it goes.
The first day flew by. What? Homework? Not much chance for socialising in the bar tonight then. Still, I had better get my head down and focus.

Offer proof to your prospects. Testimonials are one of the most powerful and cost effective selling tools you can implement in your arsenal of marketing. Why? Because you are offering social proof to your prospects from their peers attesting that your services/products actually work. If you say you are good at what you do, it's self serving. But, if others say you are good...it's credible.Providing testimonials from current and prior customers of their actual problem and the specific results from your company enhances your company's credibility. It's not enough to say that you solve problems - you have to show your prospects the direct results of other people. Testimonials offer proof that you are the real deal.People receive a lot of information and they are often skeptical. But, they will be more inclined to buy from you if you show examples of their peers who have achieved positive results. An effective testimonial is filled with specific benefits and substantiates the claims you are making. Whenever possible, testimonials should offer tangible, quantified results. (ex: I lost 65 pounds, I raised my inc
We all strive for success by studying for university degrees, attend courses and continuously look for a spark for direction in life and it's not until we see a professional person in front of us that we realise that it's a job that we would like to do.
It seems easy watching professional individuals working at the height of their career without realising what price they have had to pay to achieve their success. Being in UK Financial Services Industry for over 20 years, many people have asked me what it takes to become a CeMAP qualified mortgage advisor.
" It takes dedication, focus, hard work, the ability to strive for success plus help and guidance from UK cemap training courses."
So what criteria should you use when deciding on your future career direction? Well, try asking yourself a few of the following questions before deciding:
· Do you think that you would enjoy helping people with their finances?
· Would you prefer to be an employee?
· Would you like to be self-employed?
· Are you determined to become a high earner?
· Are you intent on being successful?
· Would you like to be in charge of your own destiny?
A 'yes' answer to most of these means that you could consider investigating UK cemap training courses and how to become a mortgage adviser, but before you do, let us look a little further.
The start to becoming a UK mortgage advisor is passing either the Mortgage Adviser Qualification (MAQ) or the Certificate in Mortgage Advice & Practice (CeMAP) and in my opinion the most recognised one in the UK is the Certificate in Mortgage Advice and Practice (CeMAP)
You do not need academic qualifications to be able to pass the Cemap exams but one thing you will need is a strong desire to succeed in a highly competitive industry.
I have found that the best UK cemap training courses are five days long and the courses are extremely focused, intensive and prepare delegates for the CeMAP 1,2,3 exams. The trainers successfully help individuals to pass their mortgage advice qualifications in literally days of intensive, fast track cemap training. Having said that, it can be easy for the gifted people who are just natural at passing academic exams.
I recently spent a week with a group of delegates on a combined CEMAP 2 & 3 training course and the range of abilities on the course was extremely diverse. The challenge for the cemap trainer was to get them all to the same standard by the end of the week and prepare them for their exams, the following week. Nine out of ten of the delegates successfully passed their relevant exams.
The challenges of the CeMAP exams are that you need to learn the course content and pass the exams at 70% but that is not all. Many people coming into the mortgage industry have not sat exams for years and in some cases not since they left school.
As previously mentioned, the best UK CeMAP training courses are five days long as they are constructed for individuals who are new to the mortgage industry and as a consequence the trainers teach the course content and mock examine candidates on a daily basis. The advantage to this system is obvious, not only are you learning the course content but the exam techniques as well.
With strengths and weaknesses identified on a daily basis, it is easy to identify the areas that require extra tuition during the week. I found that this proven system helps candidates get through their Certificate in Mortgage Advice & Practice (CeMAP) exams.
Have you ever wanted to know before hand how a CeMAP training course might run on a daily basis before you attend? Well here is a fly on the wall account of a recent CeMAP 2 & 3 combined training course that I attended in London run by Money Marketing Limited for 10 budding mortgage advisers.
Monday 9.00 am
We all reported to the conference centre of the Premier Travel Inn at Enfield London, where the trainer greeted 10 very apprehensive and nervous delegates all looking for our allocated seats and nodding to each other in greeting. The most pleasing thing was the friendly atmosphere that was created by the welcoming trainer and quickly putting us at ease and introducing the week ahead. The most surprising thing was two large folders in front of each delegate, one labelled Course Notes and the other Course Exams.

Did you know that credit difficulties can stop you dead in your tracks and keep you from being hired? Credit problems will stress you to the max, strain your personal relationships, crush your morale and possibly paralyze you from taking necessary actions in your job search. If that isn't bad enough, it can also stop you from being hired!Here's the reason why: Remember when you signed on the dotted line of the job application? Somewhere in fine print there was a line that gave the employer the right to run a credit check. A bad credit rating has the effect of ending your candidacy for a job with all too many companies as it is an indication of how you handle fiscal responsibilities. Rightly or wrongly, they make the assumption that this is how you might perform as a future employee by acting irresponsibly in many areas of your life, even stealing from the company. This may not seem right or fair but that is the way it is. You bad credit, no matter what the reason, even if the report is in error, can be used against you when you're applying for a job. Don't give a company an extra reason to screen you out.

Businesspeople routinely hand out business cards to prospective customers, colleagues, and social acquaintances, both as a marketing technique and for an easy way to keep in touch.Possibly because of the popularity of business cards, personal calling cards, which in decades past have gone out of fashion, are also making a comeback. Rather than scribble your name and phone number or email address on a scrap of paper, why not hand new acquaintances your personal calling card?First, you need to decide on a style for your calling card. Designs range from the simply elegant to the boldly colorful; your choice should match your personality and your lifestyle. Second, you need to decide what information to include on your calling card. Traditionally cards include your name, address, and phone number; recently people have added their email address and sometimes their blog or other website address.A caution: Be careful both in what information you include on your calling card and in the people you choose to share your card with. You don't necessarily want to share your street address with people you don't k

On the eve of his fourth birthday, my son could hardly contain his excitement as we tucked him in for bed. The following morning, the birthday boy jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to look in the bathroom mirror. His giant smile contorted itself into a confused grin as he looked himself over in the mirror.“I don’t look any different now that I’m four,” my son said to me without taking his eyes off the mirror. His emotional blend of innocence and confusion made me smile as I shook my head with paternal pride.Sure, it’s cute when a four year old looks in the mirror expecting to see a noticeable change on the morning of his birthday, but how many of us will make the same childish mistake on New Year’s Day?It’s ridiculous when adults expect to see change the very next morning after making a resolution. The first of the year does not instantly bring a whole new version of who you are. If you are going to make this your best year ever, you are going to have to do more than make a new year’s resolution and rip the plastic off of your new desk calendar.The first week in January is the week whe

Later start today, needed that extra half hour to pull myself together. Marked the homework first thing and got 72% not bad. Off we go following the course notes, delegates asking questions to the trainer who shows a high degree of knowledge. Quite liked being able to ask questions and clarify things, certainly couldn't do that on a self-study course. I'm getting into this multichoice exams system now, usually there are two definitely wrong answers and that only leaves two left to think about.
Some of these questions are rather difficult and I haven't done formulas and maths for ages. Hey, the trainer said that all us that are struggling with our maths could stay behind for some extra tuition. I like the trainer! Goes out of his way to help. Good sense of humour too. Homework again? Looks like it's going to be a daily thing.
Two days gone, had five mock exams already and done OK so far.
Wednesday 9.30 am
Mid week and I'm starting to get the hang of this course and really enjoying it at last. Although it's not easy, people on the course are starting to make friends, forming groups, bonding and socialising. Enjoying today even more as it's about mortgage products and that what the job's all about anyway.
Stayed behind last night with a few of the others to get to grips with the formulas. It's OK for some of the young people on the course as it's not long since that they left school but me, I haven't done any serious maths for twenty odd years.
More mock exams today and I think that I am coming to terms with the style of questions and the time allocated. Some of my mock examination marks are starting to improve, including the homework. Missing the family though, not long to go now!
Thursday 9.30 am
This trainer is incredible, cracking jokes and light conversation about some of the homework answers has certainly clarified one or two things that I was a bit shy to ask about, just in case I showed myself up in front of everyone. It's as though the trainer knows how we think and act in front of other people.
Starting to feel tired today as it is starting to catch up on me. Although the exam technique is now OK, the course content is getting a bit much but we are all in the same boat and it's full mock exams all day tomorrow. Last day to learn about mortgages and things but I must admit that all the insurances are rather confusing.
What with Full Endowments, Low Cost, Unit linked, Decreasing term, Level term, it's all a but confusing at the moment. Must stay behind tonight to go through these different policies to better understand them. More homework for tonight, last chance to get the preparation right for tomorrow. Must get a good night sleep tonight, no Stella Artois.
Friday 9.30 am I don't believe it, the week has gone so fast, yet I feel so tired. Full mock exams today on both CeMAP 2 and 3 papers. Hope that I do well but it should be a good test today to see if I'm ready or not to sit the proper exam next week. We are all tense and ready for the mocks but don't know what to expect.
Here we go, start! Hey this is OK, some of the questions are easy and I don't know what I was worried about. Whoops! There goes that low cost endowment question again. Don't really understand why they ask questions about endowments as they are not arranged anymore. 85% in the CeMAP 2 mock exam that only took me 1.5 hours of a two-hour question makes me feel good this morning and I'm dying to discuss some of the questions with the others. Not looking forward to the CeMAP 3 exams this afternoon.
Just got through the CeMAP 3 mock exam with a score of 71%. Not good enough as it's borderline and I need to do more work for next week before I take the proper exam. The good news is that I can take my Course Notes and Course Exams booklets home with me and test myself on a further three mock exams before I sit the actual exams.
