The job duties of an asset recovery specialist include working to repossess and resell property seized as the result of a foreclosure, loan default, or bankruptcy. Your responsibilities may sometimes involve working with borrowers to resolve debt problems before default, to create an alternative repayment agreement, or to distribute the debt for more manageable repayment. In this career, you may work in the finance or banking industries. You may also operate as a resource recovery specialist for a company that has a lot of inventory.
