I apologize for any rambling, mispelling or run-on sentences, but it is 3:15am. I have been reading this forum for a few hours.
I am on my second long job(both sales) since I left college early due to sickness(not drugs) and immaturity when I was 20.
I recently turned 30 and recently relocated to the greater Jacksonville, Florida area from Orlando.
I relocated with my current company, but I feel as if the financial troubles they are having will effect my status with them.
I have been searching for a career for the last couple of weeks.
I was contacted by an insurance company that has a extremely poor reputation on this board. I have pride in myself and want to sleep at night. I will not be contacting them back.
Here are my questions for everyone.
I see a lot of agents are independent, but I am not prepared to take a risk like that initially.
How do I find a job with a local insurance office(Nationwide, Allstate, State Farm, etc)?
I have searched up and down on Monster, Careerbuilder, Hotjobs, agents websites(when available) and insurance company websites. Is there some magical website I have not found?
Should I just walk in and ask for the person on the sign outside?
Are these types of sales positions rare?
Would working for a office based established agent be beneficial to my career?
I appreciate any advice that you can give me.
