I think the reason most notaries here are not in a big hurry to give information to newbies on a silver platter is because EVERY ONE OF US did it the hard way: We searched for the signing services, we cold-called them for months before we got our first job, then we took all the jobs that the other notaries were turning down: Sunday mornings, Thanksgiving morning, Christmas Eve, 10:00 at night, far-away borrowers, etc. We have paid our dues.
Secondly, there is only a finite amount of work out there. Every new notary slices the pie a little thinner for everyone else. Why should we help others dip into our pockets?
Newbies are lucky that Signing Central has a list complete with stars and comments on this website that you can dig in to. When I started, I had to google "signing services" and take whatever reject job came my way. Many times I was not paid because I had no way of knowing that no one else would work for them.
So:
#1. Cold call the list at signing central.
#2. If you are not working, then keep calling. |
