Chaim, based on your presentation, I wouldn't expect many

takers for your services. If you can't pay attention to the details of your language; spelling, punctuation, syntax...then I wouldn't expect you to be able to handle the work. This business requires excellent communication skills, formidable people skills, and a commitment to excellence. There are many professionals from which to choose, and you, my friend, don't appear to qualify.

And, if I may say, I wouldn't trust your work in the title area either.

Perception is everything, and I perceive that you do not exhibit the minimum qualifications to merit a call, if I may be quite frank.

Ditto Susan.

Chaim,

People judge you by the way you speak and write. I suggest you improve on that first before you continue on. When you are done with that, then use the search feature as there is a wealth of information here on how to market yourself.

Re: Ditto Susan.

Glenn had a post awhile back consisting of his hiring experience in the CA grocery store market.

It was very interesting and showed how some people looking for a job simply can't follow the most "basic instructions" to begin the job application.

Businsess in New York.

This business is slow across the nation even for seasoned professionals. I have been doing signings for 7 years, much more than full time, and my work is down 75%, even though I have all the contacts. Many signing agents have left the field to look for other work, because this won't pay the bills anymore.

In the meantime, you can brush up on your typing, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. The people who hire you sight unseen need to know that you are educated and professional, because you will be representing all the people the borrowers have been talking to over the phone. Everyone’s reputation rests on your ability to handle the signing intelligently.

Frequently, I am at someone's house late at night, the papers don't make sense to the borrowers, and there is no one to call. They are frustrated and angry, so they toss the papers in my direction, and insist that I decipher the legalese. What are you going to do? Whatever you do, you have to do it without giving any advice or opinions, or you will be liable for practicing law without a license.

This job is not about just sitting there and watching people sign. I know that's what it's touted to be, but that's not how it turns out.

one of my sisters lives in one of the counties you list. If you called her number and you speak the way you write, I can guarantee you would be hearing dial tone and she would be on the phone to her lender. Do you really think you can do title closings and sit in the room with those lawyers with your TOTAL lack of language skills in these affluent counties? Good luck.
