Just Graduated From College. Advice Please ..

[CSimon1]

I just graduated college in May with a biology degree/chemistry minor. I was hoping to get into pharmaceutical/medical device sales (or work in a lab, etc). Anyways, I posted my resume on a few websites and I suppose that is how Insphere Insurance Solutions contacted me. I am very new to this, I know virtually nothing about insurance. I read some of the thread on "getting started in selling insurance" but I was wondering if people who are in this business could give me a heads up of what I would be in for? How does commission work? Are you paid salary? Does it depend on the company? Is it a hard sales job? And lastly, is this a good company to work for? Again, I know virtually nothing about insurance or sales. However, from my perspective if I were to take this job it would look good on my resume in possibly getting into the pharmaceutical sales field. Thanks for your time.

Use the search function and type in "inshepere" - there's a lot already written.

My advice is that you should go to graduate school.

If we were talking a HO job with a health insurer, that might affect getting a pharmaceutical job. However, selling health insurance to them in probably irrelevant.

Oh the insurance industry is loving high unemployment. Run away, fast. Square peg round hole.

This is not a get rich quick type of business. This is not a job but a career.

To save you some time, use that degree you have and work in that field.

for me you better take up a graduate course but if you really need a job right now then it is your personal choice. anyway, just search the net about that firm. i believe you could get info about that.
