Question: I want to work in Real Estate Finance but how do I get started?

I am a recent graduate from the University of Connecticut, completing a Finance Degree with a concentration in Real Estate & Urban Economics. I graduated with honors, I did an internship at Prudential Financial, and have references from previous managers, professors and personal friends. I can't find a job. I have been on a handful of interviews that are begun with the explanation that their is not an open position but they would like to meet me now in case something opens up.

I am running out of time to wait. My apartment lease is up on Monday and I don't have any family in the area. My friends have offered to help me out for awhile but I would feel terrible having to live off their charity for very long. I started about a month ago to look for bill-paying jobs such as a bartender, or waiter, even a retail job but have been met with resistance. I am running out of option and am not sure what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Greg

Answer: Check into loan consultants international - there are based out of california. I have no affiliation with them but I was hired to research their company once and I was impressed. As for getting a bill-paying job to get by - you're over qualified for those jobs - best bet would be to pick a job that expects a high turn-over rate (sadly those jobs are rarely fun, hence the high turn-over). Also if you're interested in going it alone it wouldn't be that difficult for someone with your experience to acquire a few underwriters to get you started.
