I'm an Account Manager in Financial Services - in what other sectors can I use my skills?

Careershifter question

By Anonymous

I've had a successful career in Financial Services but now with the recession I'm being made redundant. I enjoy my role and ideally would find another similar job but this seems impossible in the current climate. Should I leave this sector altogether and if so what other sectors might offer similar roles?
