shutterstock_220417363

We have all heard the statistics –  women now make up more than 50% of the US population1 and are making 80% of the purchasing decisions in US households.2

Now think of this, close to 30% of businesses are owned by women and the number of wealthy women investors in the U.S. is growing at a faster rate than that of men.3

Our economy is greatly impacted by women yet there is a relatively low percentage of women in  the financial services industry available to help them.

It’s time for that to change.

As a woman, it is in your DNA to nurture and take care of others which makes a career in financial services a natural fit for you.  As a financial services professional, you get to apply your skills and make  a difference in the lives of others by helping them plan for their future and  protect what matters most.

A career in the financial services industry empowers you to take control of your career and have the flexibility and independence you may be looking for.

What are the job requirements:

  • Passion
  • Energy
  • Drive
  • Tenacity
  • Entrepreneurial spirit

If you don’t have a financial background, that’s ok – that can be learned.  More importantly,  according to the above statistics, you have a natural market to tap into.  If you are considering a new career, don’t overlook the opportunities in financial services.
