As the name suggests, these loan processors deal solely with processing loans. Like any other processor, they are tasked with compiling all necessary financial documents, interrogating one’s credit history and score, and passing on all relevant information to an underwriter who will make the final decision on whether or not to approve the mortgage. You must be an expert on the mortgage and housing industries, and be thorough in compiling the correct information and ensuring it is accurate. Here is an attractive mortgage loan processor resume.
Even if you have had other positions in the loan department apart from loan processing (this applicant was a loan underwriter and mortgage advisor) try to highlight any experience you had working with mortgages in these other positions. This applicant has done that successfully.

Senior loan processors are in essence the person that connects everyone else in the loan process. They are in constant communication with the borrower, loan officer, underwriter, etc. They are tasked with compiling and verifying all necessary documentation, and inputting it into software programs when required. As a senior loan processor, you will be expected to show years of experience, great communication skills, and overall success in previous positions.
As a senior loan processor, you may be in charge of a loan processing team. Therefore being able to show that you have effectively led teams is vital in your experience section. This applicant has done this successfully in their most recent listed position.
An easy way to impress recruiters is to use impressive metrics. So include figures such as the size of the teams you have managed, the percentage increase in the number of loans processed by the company thanks to you, etc.
Entry-level loan processors will assist more senior loan processors and will often be assigned more mundane tasks. Tasks assigned may include cross-checking documents, checking credit histories, and whatever other paperwork their seniors may need them to do. You will be given a lot of on-the-job training so a bachelor’s degree in a related field or extensive history in the industry is not always required. You will however be required to at least have some knowledge of loan processing, and any experience in fields like banking or finance would be highly beneficial to your application.
If you have no experience in the field and no certification, consider applying for an internship in loan processing. These may be easier to get without any experience and will be highly beneficial to your resume when trying to apply for full-time positions in the field. This applicant has taken this route.
You may not have loan processing experience, but if you have secured donations for your university or participated in your school's debate club or campus radio, include these in your resume. The communication and financial skills you gain here are likely transferable and useable in a loan processor position.
