What are some of the best licensed courses to take in Miami right now? (Havana: sales)

[lailylopez]

I want to do a quick course on something that can help me open the doors to some great job opportunities, my thing is that even knowing 2 languages it's been quite difficult to find a good paying decent Job.




I work in retail and most people around me say that why the heck am I working there if I know two languages, I am also computer savvy.





The point is that it has been super difficult to find something good, maybe since I don't have a lot of job experience, I really don't know, but I need to get out of that hole and do something that will change my life in that sense.


I was thinking a license in Auto insurance or a CAM (Property management), but I am not sure these are are worth it?!! Any Ideas?

I'm not sure, but perhaps "Supply Chain Management Fundamentals" and "Distribution and Logistics Management" have better potential: more practical and less competition.

Can't hurt to check it out.

Hope this helps.

Good Luck!

You need jobs like this https://www.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=09...7gs8qctu6oq807

I am assuming that one of your languages is Spanish (or Portuguese). I am cognizant of the fact that this position requires a set of pre-requisites and experience, including business level Spanish and tact interacting with high network clients. So take this as a starting point to investigate this field a bit further.

I encourage you to talk to a counselor at Miami-Dade College or peruse over their career programs website. They have tons of certificate and licensed programs you can take in various fields where you can get certified sometimes in 6 months or less in a field that would garner you a job making over 30 an hour.

This would be more of a junior-level position (compared to the quoted above) but still requires a few years of financial services experience (but they are quite generic about this requirement)

https://jobs.fidelity.com/job-detail...area-miami-fl/

CLIENT MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATIVE – GREATER MIAMI, FL AREA
Certifications:
Series 07 – FINRA, Series 66 – FINRA

So I would start with a job as a teller to build up your experience in the financial services industry while you study the materials of Series 66 exam. Then start applying to the types of jobs cited above once you fulfill the prerequisites and feel ready to take the next step.

Relationship Banker-Little Havana Financial Center-Miami Gables Market-Miami/FL-Spanish Language Required
*Experience in financial services and knowledge of financial services industry, products and solutions.
*One year of demonstrated successful sales experience in a salary plus incentive environment with individual sales goals.
*Six months of cash handling experience.
*Bachelor’s degree or business relevant associate degree such as business management, business administration, or finance.

Came across this entry-level position which can be performed by someone with some retail sales experience and with just AA in business or finance degree. Good stepping stone position for something substantial later on.

OP: "The point is that it has been super difficult to find something good, maybe since I don't have a lot of job experience, I really don't know, but I need to get out of that hole and do something that will change my life in that sense."

At your age, 32, employers expect job experience. When you say you don't have experience, do you mean you don't have long-term employment with a single employer or were you out of the work force for an extended period of time?
