Need to apply to some positions that don't require licenses (see below). I would say I have very good soft skills (hence the book value), but not sure how to show that in the resume. I also don't have any leadership experience as it was just me growing my book of business. I understand my story may be of interest to some of you, but please I am just looking for advice here on my resume and future job prospects, not the details of my case. Thank you.
My background
I am currently a wealth advisor with a book of around 26MM. I am 27 years old and have been doing this for around 6 years. I have my series 7, 65, and 63. I went to a non-target school for my BA in Business Administration with a specialization in Finance and have a minor in Economics. I graduated with a 3.682 GPA
Long story short, due to some very, very unfortunate (and may I say unfair) circumstances, the state that where I conduct most of my business in will be suspending my license, and most likely barring me from the industry. This will likely have a ripple effect to all other states where I am registered with FINRA and hold an insurance license. The matter the state was investigating me for was non-customer related and did not affect any Broker-Dealer, but was instead outside the scope of the wealth management business.
Based on that, I am unlikely to ever be able to hold any professional or governmental license. This would include CPA, CFA, an attorney's license, or anything registered with FINRA or the SEC.
I am in need of a career shift and have no clue where to start. I have had this one position ever since post-grad, and although I have done well, I don't have much to show outside of it. Nothing really extra to pack on my resume either. Are there any courses to fill my resume that I can get real quick before being suspended? Ideally, I would apply for positions with a resume that shows I have my S7, S65, and S67 since technically I do still hold those.
I have not started extensively looking yet as I am still going through the shock and depression of all of this. I am trying to think of industries I can start applying to. PE and venture capital seem possible, but they are extremely hard to get my foot in the door. I was also thinking of corporate finance, but am hoping that an employer when running a background check doesn't immediately disqualify me. Consulting seems like a drag but maybe that's possible?
I'd appreciate any help you all can give. Thanks.
Gonna need to know what you did to get suspended my guy
