Becoming a mortgage loan officer/originator

I know j have to get my nmls license which soon I will start studying for

But I was just reading a job posting for an assistant mlo / junior mlo, and they require some mortgage experience

So my question is coming from the retail world. What job you think I can get started to get some mortgage knowledge under my belt. At least until I get my nmls license.

What jobs you think will hire someone with supervisor skills, some too little accounting, office skills so I can get into some position that deals with mortgages so then I can jump into the mortgage loan officer job as my final destination
