Stock Broker Jobs

If you are someone who is interested in the stock market, understands why the stocks of a company rise or fall, has the discipline to persevere in learning continuously, is trying to seek a way to improve yourself even after you have reached a peak, and if you have the integrity to put your client's best interests in front of your own and not pay attention to how much money you may earn for each transaction, then you might want to look for a job in a brokerage firm.

If you have the desire to be a stockbroker, your task is to advise your customers so they know when to buy and sell stocks; you must, in each and every transaction, achieve the highest profitable transaction.

For you to achieve success in this industry, you have to go through extensive training and licensure exams. You have to pass the General Securities Registered Representative Examination, where you can qualify only after four months of getting experience in a brokerage firm. After this exam, most states would require you to take the Uniform Securities Agents State Law Examination to determine the extent of your knowledge in the stock market. After you take and pass both exams, most companies put you in classes and training programs for as long as two years. After you go through this grueling process, then and only then will you be given the title of trainee. And even after you have garnered some experience, and maybe navigated some successful transactions, most employers still require you to continuously improve yourself by attending training and seminars.

So, your job is not only focused on dealing with the clients, but also on how you improve your knowledge on the market and the industry so that you may help your customers gain the most out of every transaction.
