Countrywide Mortgage Services - Your Role
Work Ethos
 
Our opening hours are Monday to Friday 8.45am to 6.30pm and Saturday 8.45am to 5.00pm. You will be required to work a 5-day week including every Saturday.

Our philosophy to hard work is simple. In itself it will not lead to success, however it is one of the essential prerequisites of success within our company.

The ideal applicant is someone who is looking long term to pursue a career rather than a job and is determined to succeed. Nobody is perfect, however you will need to see the majority of the following characteristics in yourself: smart, pleasant mannered, honest, ambitious, sensible, hard working, enjoy dealing with people, loyal, persistent, always positive, diplomatic, tough, want the best for yourself and do not settle for second best.

We only seek for ourselves the very best. We love doing what we do and we are extremely good at it. We are never complacent and strive to improve all the time. We are a people business, we do not manufacture or sell a product, only ourselves and we are only as good as the people we employ.

This is not a "hire and fire" company. We do not easily employ someone and once we make a commitment, we do our utmost to keep our part of the bargain. We have a certain standard and work ethos which we will do our utmost to equip you to meet. However, it is important for you to recognise that in this company, your success is in your hands.

We consider our sales team to be the best in the industry and work hard to make sure they are the best equipped and most effective in each of our local marketplaces.

There are, we believe, three essential criteria that we seek in the individuals we employ:

Communication - The ability to communicate effectively with your colleagues and your prospects is essential, you will need to be confident and professional. .
Attitude - You will need to be Positive, Enthusiastic, Resilient and Determined.
Organisation - We deal with huge volumes of people in busy and hectic environments. The ability to be highly organised and methodical in your approach to your daily tasks is essential.

Industry experience is not required as full training is provided, although we usually like to see a stable background where applicants are able to illustrate achievement in their careers and have not just drifted from one job to another.

We respect ambition in those that apply for positions within this company. However, there is something that we respect even more and that is a commitment to that ambition.
