    Where did you gain your experience in credit control?

    This would be a factor that would help steer you in the right direction.
    I previously worked in credit control in financial services in lending (mtgs and other loans, overdrafts) aswell as for a invoice discounting/factoring company.

    Did you go to college? What sort of courses have you done.


    You dont necessarily have to have a college degree. I have 3 former collegues that i worked with in credit control in one of the irish banks that have moved up in different directions. One moved into risk and fraud, another was lucky enough to move into compliance and last I heard she is now a junior underwriter, and my other mate went a different route... he had a degree in Science from UCD and moved into Derivatives and is now a project manager for implementing new banking regulations at branch level.

    I decided to go the accountancy route and am a trainee CA in a small firm. It was a hard slog to get a job as a trainee but I got there in the end.

    world is your oyster once you are determined enough... and if the jobs are there.

    Also another thing to bear in mind that moving may involve a huge drop in your current salary as you may end up back at entry level in order to be retrained, I myself took over 10k drop in wages to become a trainee chartered acocuntant but I love my job.... just hate exams :)
