  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I work as a Mortgage Advisor, so this involves talking to customers on a daily basis to take them through a mortgage application. This may be from customers calling in, or from callbacks I have booked for customers. I also track any application I've done to ensure that it is on track and that the customer is aware of any information they need to send in to help the application.
