Loan officers may specialize in a specific type of loan, such as mortgage loans. They may also be hired to concentrate on a certain aspect of the loan business.
Who hires a person with a Bachelor's in finance? The answer may surprise you.
Loan collection officers handle situations in which borrowers have been unable to repay their loans while loan underwriters specialize in determining a borrower's credit worthiness.
ollege students looking for a field that offers a vast array of entry-level careers, good starting pay, and great advancement potential should consider pursuing a BA in finance.
People often associate financial careers with employees of large corporations. That is, in fact, where some graduates of finance programs end up. However, those with BAs in finance are also routinely hired by governments, universities, non-profits, and even individuals.
Loan officers earn between $26,000 and $74,000 annually.
A finance degree requires courses in business administration, accounting, financial management, marketing, statistics, and information systems. Because all of these skills are in such high demand in all types of organizations, finance students leave college well prepared for a solid, entry-level position in the private or the public sector.
The job of an insurance underwriter involves evaluating a client's specific needs to ensure that the client has proper coverage. An underwriter defines the terms of a policy and determines monthly premiums. Underwriters can work for an insurance company with a wide selection or products, but they often specialize in a specific type of policy.
Here are some of the best options open to new graduates with a BA in finance.
Life, mortgage, property, and auto insurance carriers all employ graduates with BAs in finance for their underwriting needs.
BUDGET ANALYSTS may be hired by just about any organization that has money flowing through it whether those funds come from profits, donations, or government allotments. The primary responsibility of a budget analyst is to efficiently organize the finances of a business or corporation. By preparing financial reports and carefully analyzing expenditures, these analysts help managers develop budgets and to make decisions about how to distribute them. In a corporation, budget analysts are often needed to ensure that the business draws up a budget that is cost-effective while maximizing profits. A government budget analyst helps to formulate the budgetrelated portions of public policy. At universities and other non-profit organizations, budget analysts may monitor program expenditures and recommend changes based on economic forecasts. According to Payscale, an online company that collects salary data, the salary range for budget analysts is $39,000$82,000 annually. Banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions that offer loans commonly hire graduates with a Bachelor's of finance as LOAN OFFICERS.
INSURANCE UNDERWRITERS are typically hired by companies that specialize in selling insurance products to individuals, consumers, and businesses.
Insurance underwriters typically make between $33,000 and $75,000 per year. Among the most promising entry-level jobs for those with four-year degrees is a PERSONAL FINANCE ADVISOR. The Bureau of Labor statistics projects that employment of personal finance advisors will grow by 30 percent over the next eight years due to the large number of baby boomers that are expected to retire. Personal finance advisors are hired directly by individuals or by private consulting firms that provide services to clients. These advisors assist people in making important financial decisions. They may help their clients choose smart investments, understand tax obligations and advantages, and purchase the right insurance. They advise people about how to plan for specific needs such as handling education expenses and saving for retirement in addition to helping with transitions as these financial needs change. The salary range for personal finance advisors is $30,000$129,000 annually.
When an individual or business applies for a loan, it is up to the loan officer to interview the prospective borrower, collect and organize necessary financial documents, perform credit checks, and decide whether all qualifications have been met.

Have you recently moved to Houston from another state, country o r j u s t a n o t h e r p a r t o f Tex a s? I f y o u c a m e h e r e t o g e t a j o b , I ’ d l i ke t o h e a r a b o u t y o u r ex p e r i e n c e . Email: askdiana@jobsparx.com
Q:
Diana, I see you have an advice column in the JobSparx magazine. I do have a question for you as I am impressed by responses you’ve made in the past. Sometimes when I see “Now Hirin g ” s i g n s , I h a v e t h e di s t i nct im p re s s i on , de p e n di n g upo n t he particular circumstances of where or how the sign is posted, that it is in fact false advertising or sim p l y adve r t i s i n g o f so me ki nd. M igh t t h i s be a f al s e impres s i o n on my part? I’m wondering if a “Now Hiring” sign gets/is ever p o st e d s i mp l y to g i ve peo pl e t he im p re s s i on t h a t the y a re a ct ua l l y o pen t o h i r i n g p e o p l e a s a s ho w of goodwill or something like that. Surely I am mistaken and nobody ever does this in America, co rre c t ?
A:
Those signs are real. They are p o st e d f or a l o t o f r e a s o ns , a nd so m e o f t h e r e a s o n s m a ke s ens e. If a “N o w H i r i n g ” s i g n i s po s t ed a t a re s t au r a n t or f a s t fo o d pl a ce, they are definitely real. Those establishments seldom have to advertise because they know that their clients want to work clo se t o ho me, an d tha t t hey a re already familiar with the brand. Yo u ’ ll n o t i c e t h a t man y t rucks o r police cars or county sheriff ’s cars a lso h ave s i g n s on them wi t h t he t elep ho n e n u mbe r t o c a l l . I’m no t sure how effective that actually is, b ut I do k n ow t h a t i t wo ul d be counter-productive to generate unwanted candidates because there are so many rules about how w e ma n a g e c a n di da te s.
Q:
I ac tu al l y k n ow f or a f a ct t ha t at least in Houston those signs are to some degree bogus in s o m e w a y. I ’ v e b e e n h o m e l e s s living outdoors on the streets of Houston before and I know f r o m ex p e r i e n c e. I e v e n a p p l i e d to the Sheriff ’s department in town before but was told that due to having a misdemeanor I was not qualified. That may very well have been completely legitimate, but not all those “Now Hiring” signs at restaurants for example are. Sometimes there are different reasons for being turned down for employment which are valid to any number of possible d eg re e s . F or ex a mp l e, I wa s t o o old already to even apply with

the Houston Police Dept at the time due to my not having military ex p e r i e n c e . O n t h e o t h e r h a n d at one place, upon turning in a paper application I was simply t o l d t o my f a ce t ha t th e y w e re n’t looking for my kind of application. O nl i ne o f co urs e i t ’s e ve n e asie r t o get t urned do wn for anyth ing and one can always say it was due t o s o met hi ng t ha t t urne d up w ith o ne o f t ho s e ps ycholog ic al typ e tests they have on there these days. Seems sometimes it doesn’t matter how educated and degreed a person may be, as well. It may be true that I’m somewhat jaded from my o wn pers o na l ex p e rie nc e s. - Ho us t o n, Tex a s Read e r
A:
I think I understand what y o u a r e s a y i n g : Yo u h a v e s e e n t he “ N o w Hi ri ng” s i g ns, b ut w h e n you applied in good faith, they turned you down for what seem t o be bo gus rea s o ns . Re aliz e th at the sign doesn’t guarantee you a job; it simply announces that t hey a re hi ri ng. I don’t th ink th e s i gns a re bo gus ; I t hink th at th e y hi re f ro m t hem. Yo ur exp e rie nc e i s pro ba bl y f a i rl y t yp ic al, th oug h . The online issue is another way that companies are relying on automated programs to do their j o b. Tha t i s a mi s t a ke on se ve ral levels: you could have the best ex p e r i e n c e a n d b e t h e p e r f e c t match for the job, but your resume h a s t o h a v e t h e ke y w o r d s t h a t the employer is seeking. Tailoring your resume to include specific words can help. The second m i s t a ke i s t h a t t h e r e i s n o w a y that a computer program can discover whether the candidate is truly a match. Unfortunately, in the pursuit of “efficiency” and “ease,” they are eliminating the human touch. Sometimes we can become t o o a ut o ma t ed t o do a g ood job.
If you have any questions about interviewing, hiring, or work, I’d love to hear from you. Due to the volume of response, not every question will appear in the column, but most questions will receive an email response within 2 to 3 days.

Mistakes
You’re Making
at Your Job Interview
52
NOVEMBER 11, 2016
VOL. 21 ISSUE 1065
In your job search, you’ve landed several interviews, but you never get called back. You might be making a critical mistake at your interview that’s keeping you from getting the job. Here are five mistakes to avoid at a job interview.
1. Arriving Late F i r s t i m p r e s s i o n s a r e p o w e r f u l , a n d b e i n g l a t e i s a p e r f e c t w a y t o m a ke a bad impression. Why should an employer hire you if you can’t even get to the j o b i n t e r v i e w o n t i m e? I f y o u h a v e a d i f f i c u l t t i m e ke e p i n g a p p o i n t m e n t s i n a p u n c t u a l m a n n e r, s e t y o u r c l o c k s f i f t e e n m i n u t e s a h e a d t h e d a y b e f o r e y o u r i n t e r v i e w s o t h a t y o u g e t o u t o f t h e h o u s e f i f t e e n m i n u t e s e a r l y. A l l o w p l e n t y o f t i m e t o f i n d t h e l o c a t i o n o f t h e i n t e r v i e w i f i t ’s y o u r f i r s t t i m e v i s i t i n g t h e p l a c e .
2. Dressing Sloppily D r e s s i n g l i ke y o u j u s t r o l l e d o u t o f b e d i s a n o t h e r w a y t o s a y, “ I ’ m n o t p r o f e s s i o n a l , a n d I d o n ’ t t a ke t h i s j o b s e r i o u s l y.” O f c o u r s e , y o u d o n ’ t w a n t t o s h o w u p i n a t u xe d o f o r a f a c t o r y j o b i n t e r v i e w, b u t y o u s h o u l d a l w a y s l o o k n e a t a n d w e l l - g r o o m e d , n o m a t t e r w h a t j o b y o u ’ r e a p p l y i n g f o r.
3. Being Overly Familiar W h i l e m a n y w o r k p l a c e s h a v e b e c o m e m o r e r e l a xe d i n r e c e n t y e a r s , w i t h e m p l o y e e s a n d b o s s e s o n a f i r s t - n a m e b a s i s , a n d c a s u a l a t t i r e a c c e p t e d , i t ’s better to err on the side of formality rather than familiarity in the initial job i n t e r v i e w. D o n ’ t s i t d o w n a n d g e t c o m f o r t a b l e u n t i l y o u ’ r e i n v i t e d t o d o s o , a n d d o n ’ t c a l l t h e i n t e r v i e w e r b y h e r f i r s t n a m e u n l e s s s h e i n d i c a t e s t h a t t h i s i s o k a y. If you regularly use slang or swear words, imagine that you’re speaking to your g r a n d m o t h e r, a n d a d j u s t y o u r l a n g u a g e a c c o r d i n g l y.
4. Bringing Friends Or Family Members to the Interview Maybe Aunt Clarissa knows someone in the human resources department, so y o u f i g u r e t h a t h a v i n g h e r a c c o m p a n y y o u t o t h e i n t e r v i e w w i l l h e l p y o u m a ke g o o d c o n n e c t i o n s a t y o u r p o t e n t i a l n e w w o r k p l a c e . W h i l e i t ’s f i n e t o m e n t i o n A u n t C l a r i s s a a t y o u r i n t e r v i e w, d o n ’ t b r i n g h e r a l o n g . Ta k i n g f r i e n d s a n d f a m i l y m e m b e r s t o y o u r j o b i n t e r v i e w i s u n p r o f e s s i o n a l , a n d i t ’s a l s o r e g a r d e d a s a s i g n o f i m m a t u r i t y.
5. Texting Or Talking On the Phone P u t y o u r p h o n e a w a y d u r i n g t h e i n t e r v i e w. I f y o u ’ r e ex p e c t i n g a n i m p o r t a n t p h o n e c a l l o r t ex t t h a t y o u m u s t a n s w e r i m m e d i a t e l y, exc u s e y o u r s e l f p o l i t e l y, and answer the phone outside of the room where the interview is being held. W h e n y o u r e t u r n t o t h e i n t e r v i e w, a p o l o g i z e f o r t h e i n t e r r u p t i o n , a n d ex p l a i n t h a t y o u h a d t o a t t e n d t o a n u r g e n t m a t t e r.

MEANINGFUL CAREER BY ROBIN RYAN
11,000 days. That’s the number of days you’ll probably work over your lifetime. You’ll likely have six or seven career changes and 11 or 12 jobs in total. You may be wondering if you need a change now. 30 million people go to work each day to a job they hate. The harmful feelings permeate their entire life, putting a negative cloud over the home, their friends and many of their other activities. They may lack the know-how to change, may be afraid of leaving the security of a paycheck, or have a hundred excuses for why it’s okay to be so dissatisfied & stay at their job. There is a better way to live your life. Meaningful purpose is a driving force that adds enthusiasm to your days. Taking a passion & making it your career, living a dream, can be more than just a wish, but a true & attainable reality. Here are a few steps to get a new career rolling: DO SOME SELF-ANALYSIS Ask yourself “what really matters to me? What problem or wrong would I like to fix? What do I enjoy? Where are my interests and hobbies? What are my priorities? What is my secret passion? What do I want to do with the rest of my life?” Reviewing these questions can give you new insight to where you want to go.
USE YOUR UNIQUE GENIUS AND TALENTS Every person is born with a unique set of natural abilities. Talents, such as managing, creating, researching, training others, drawing, can all seem like easy work because you have a natural flair for them. True happiness comes from combining your natural talents, developing and excelling in them, and working in a field, job, or industry that you have a passionate interest in.
OTHERS HAVE DONE IT AND SO CAN YOU Sometimes it’s easy to forget that we can change if we really want to. Although she was a prominent lawyer, my client Sarah was dissatisfied in her work, and glad to take a few years off to have two children. She told me she hated “practicing law.” She found it boring, yet she felt enormous guilt at abandoning a career she spent years training for and made great money in. We worked together, focusing on her real interests and natural talents. Sarah landed a terrific new job as an executive director for a nonprofit VOL. 21 ISSUE 1065 organization. She leads others, influences policies, develops
programs, and is a very happy person. “I even make a great salary, but I love my job so much, I’d do this for free,” she said.
MAKE A DECISION Many people flounder for years and never turn their dreams into reality. They let themselves remain in a negative or stagnant place. Only action can change your life; read a book, take vocational tests, use a good career-management professional. Do some career exploration and gather all the information you need. Then make a decision and go forward. Outline the action steps to reach your career goal. The only thing at stake is your happiness. Finding meaning, passion and purpose every day you go to work is the wonderful reward, so don’t wait any longer. Begin right now and set in motion your own plan to live a happier, more satisfying life. © copyright Robin Ryan, 2016, all rights reserved Robin Ryan is a career counselor offering individual services including Interview Coaching and Resume Writing.
