Success Guide
This role is for someone who already has their FAIS Fit and Proper status and RE5 in hand, so make these impossible to miss on your CV. Absa runs a formal recruitment process through their Workday portal, so double check that your application is complete before you hit submit. Because the role is fully commission based, come to the interview ready to talk concretely about your sales numbers, the client base you can bring or build, and how you handle the ups and downs of self driven earnings. If you have a strong track record and your own transport, this is a real chance to run your own advisory practice under a major bank brand. Take time to tailor your CV around your advisory experience, compliance knowledge, and client wins rather than listing every job you have ever had.
