Honestly, bring 2 copies of your resume in a hard folder if you can... Looks professional so you look ready. They can see that you look ready to go... Also, plan out a brief way to describe your desire and ability to work with customers well. Short, direct but not with an attitude answers, and smile and enjoy it. If you cant laugh at something, your too serious...
Good Luck man!!!!!!!

Eye contact, don't slouch and sound confident. If you act like you know what you are doing most people assume you do.

But not so rigid. More like a conversation with your CO. Speak confident, professional and with tact.
You'll do fine !

k im back!...so anyways the hiring manager pretty much wanted to hire me on teh spot lol!!! but we went ahead of the interview and all that stuff and anyways its for an insurance seller(life,auto,home etc. etc..) but yea if i decide to take it id have to go to the 'university of farmers insurance" lol so i can get a liscense to sell insurance(duh!) but id have to pay to take all the necessary class's to be certified. which pretty much means i dont think i want this job cuz alth my MGIB will cover all the costs i might as well stay in school now and just collect the benifits that way. but it would garuntee me a job as soon as i was finished which is a big plus. and they pretty much work on commision..biiig commision!! like if i were to sell at least 1 type a day id be makin close to 4k amonth which reallllly sounds niice but its alot of cold calling...walking up to random ppl...stuff like that. so i donno if thats really wat i want a career in since this wouldnt be a short time job. but they were showing me the statics chart thingy and after 2years id be in the 200k range which is like beamer status to the fullest....so anyways they gotta run a credit check (since id be playing with ppl's money) and like it would start me off with my own small business. i dono they guy threw alot of information at me at once. but at the end of the interview he said that from his point id get the job. but its not up to him its up to the HIGHER UP ppl at farmers. and so yea....stay tuned

I'm not comfortable with you taking that job bro...not one bit. It was too easy, more like they just wanted the first decent looking body walking through their door. You can do much better. I need to beef up your resume.

Or there is a high attrition rate. Ask them what is leading cause for turnover for the position to which you are interviewing. If you plan to stay in school and pursue a career in insurance, might I suggest completing a Business Degree and obtaining a NASD Series 7 and 6 license.
Then you can work for JP Marlin in "The Boiler Room" :tup2:

well the whole job position is for a 'small business' starter which i have no clue about business but he said that since his famers insurance buildin i guess they got lil depots everywehre was making alot of money so he needed to hire more ppl to keep up with it.
as for the whole growing up part...dude trust me if i could land a decent job and still smoke I WOULD... i love smoking its a pasttime..brings ppl 2gether now ill prob stop smoking now just cuz ive already gone like almost 3weeks without it but im not saying if im ever at a nice 'gathering' i wont take a hit of the chronic cuz i might but as of rite now yea its not my top priority (plus im on limited funds so its not like i could afford it currently with gas prices almost 3$$) but i dono like rite now im goin to school for aerospace engineering cuz i love all that space shit and ive always wanted to fly. but i do know after being suited up like that IM FUCKIN AWESOME ALL MACK DADDY'D DOWN...LIKE HOW I USE TO SPORT THE CLASS A'S HAHA...anyways tho i need a job soon cuz carpayments/insurance is commin up. my aunt is some kind of manager for robertshaw incorporated sp? and she said i should jsut get a forklift licnse and do taht for awhile but i really dont want to cuz yea school is fuckin awesome(but its only cuz ive been outta that scene for awhile) plus its like that dude said on dazed & confused.."the older i get...the girls stay the same age" ahhahaha fuckin UPS i wish would call me aleady cuz id def do taht

that's the classic sales pitch for 'door to door' sales type of crap. Talking about 'viral marketing', how you'll be running your own office in no time, and how it's great for self-starters and entrepreneurs....
run far far away from that type of setup :tdown:
