You may get hundreds of calls and pre-approved offers from sales teams. These are all subject to credit approval which will usually fail because you appear to be unemployed and unlikely to pay your bills.
Previously, I got a secured credit card - which has no credit risk - and the bank later lifted the lien on the FD (so they made commission on 2 financial products). Later I scored a credit card with no job and no questions asked when I crossed a higher relationship value. Then I started working in law and have been unable to resolve the credit approval process. The common denominator in all this is that it is tied to the commission/targets the bank RM will be able to achieve.
