I am going to call random mortgage companies to ask if they are hiring any loan processors. What should I say?

Answer 1

Hello fellow loan processor!

Actually, if you have been working in the mortgage industry for any length of time then you know now is probably a bad time to change companies.

However, if you are looking for work in the industry then:

1. Ask if they are hiring for any positions. Don't limit yourself
to just processing. There are many areas where you can use
your knowledge (post closing , insuring, shipping, auditing)

2. Check out the Internet. There are lots of postings for your
city in the local paper. (or maybe they have a website).

3. Post your resume on Monster.com or other site for
professionals. This way they can find you as well.
I know some of the top head-hunters use these sites.

4. Try other companies. Perhaps a title company or other
financial industry.

Best of luck.

Answer 2

Your best bet is to walk into the companies and ask if they are hiring, presenting them with your resume. Or send in a neat, professional looking resume, then follow-up with a call a few days later.

Companies are particular about who they hire, and most are not going to commit themselves by telling a random person over the phone that they have openings. That opens them up to legal hiring issues.

Contrary to the response below mine, many companies do not use want ads because they are looking for specific candidates. They are bound to be Equal Opportunity Employers, but in practice they may not be. Therefore, they will not advertise to the world, or to an anonymous caller, that they have openings. I worked in Human Resources and know this to be true.

NY is known as "The Big Apple" because long ago a famous folk hero (Johnny Appleseed) planted a single seed in the middle of the city. Then, in a strange warp in space-time, a boy named Jack planted a seed he believed to be magical in the same spot. In what is still considered a marveling biological advancement, the two seeds fused together on a molecular level. After an impressive rain, the seed hybrid grew into an apple 300ft tall and approximatively 330ft wide. The strangest thing being the absence of a tree. It seems the apple was completely normal, except it grew straight from the ground with its own roots like a beanstalk of some sort. For decades to come, people would visit the city and look up at the impossible fruit and think "that is a big apple". After a while people began referring to the city itself as "The Big Apple". But then, 1943 Oct 11th, something strange happened. As the city laid to rest, the night once again upon them, there was a blinding flash of red light. The flash lasted for nearly 4-5 seconds. No one is certain what caused the flash, but once it was over the apple had simply disappeared. Not only had it vanished, the ground it had grown from had closed as if it were never there. Some say the apple had grown so large it created some sort of fruity supernova and collapsed in on itself in a black hole. Some say the aliens responsible for the death of the dinosaurs came back and destroyed the apple as well. We may never know exactly what happened that night, but one thing is for sure. That was a big-*** apple.

You will put yourself at a disadvantage by doing that and you will waste a lot of time by calling companies who have no interest in hiring. Why not spend a few minutes, register for free with the large career databanks and see who is looking for help. Then you can call a qualified place. This website has a lot of free job boards. Good luck

Answer 5

Ask to speak to the Operations Manager. When you get to them, briefly state your qualifications and ask if they have any openings. Ask if you can email them a resume for their perusal. Email the resume and a cover letter, then follow up, a few days later, with a phone call.

Contrary to the Answer above, there are no legal issues that accrue from a company disclosing to a caller that they may or may not have any openings. It is the same as placing a Want Ad or posting the job on the Internet.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Have a resume ready to fax over to them. You can say something to the effect of: I am currently seeking a position as a loan processor. I'd like to fax over my resume. If they say that they are not hiring at the moment, tell them you would like to fax it over anyway for them to keep on file.
