Yet Another Newb

Hello everyone,

Found this site yesterday and spent around 5 hours last night and this morning reading through here.

I got into insurance last year when a friend was telling me about an online company in Wilmington, NC hiring CSR's. Instead of being an "agent-in-training" I decided I'd go ahead and get my Personal Lines license.

Key to it was I had to relocate from Greensboro to Wilmington to take the job. Long story short, I couldn't make the move. Now I have a P & C license and no job.


I had talked with AFLAC and took the Accident and Health and passed it. I had some reservations when talking with the recruiter but thought, I want to learn the industry and make a career of it so why not. From what I've read on here, they may not be the way I need to go.

Whats happened now is funds are getting low and I haven't worked in 3 weeks.

Not giving a sad story, just stating the facts here. I've thrown resumes every where and, to be quite honest, I'm getting nervous.

I'd like to find a "mentor" that would take me under their wing. I'm a quick learner. Not that it may be a big thing to some of you, I passed the Personal Lines and the Accident and Health on the first try. Just means I know what I need to learn to get what I want I guess. LOL!!!

Any ideas or suggestions on who to talk to in the Greensboro, NC area? Don't necessarily have the capital to go independent but really want to learn all I can about the business.

Just like that fair maiden waiting on her prince charming. I know I would make someone a great agent one day!!!! :D

Thanks in advance.

Chris


I just signed up with MIG, I haven't made any money yet, but I just signed up yesterday. If your interested in FE, they seem like a good company. I just went to this website finalexpensebootcamp.com.
 
To expand on Chump's advice, depending on your area just sending out resumes might not cut it. Especially in the short term.

Go out and walk into agencies in your area, present yourself and discuss whether or not they're hiring and what you have to offer.

I agree. You seem personable, I would try to make a face to face impression!
