Daffy Duck

[fbhjr]

I got an email with the subject “job interview request” today.
When I opened it up it was from Aflac. The supplemental insurance people with the duck in their ads. It says in there “I know your past experience may not have been focused on sales or insurance and you may not have considered a career in insurance sales, but some of our most successful associates had résumés just like yours.”
It is true. I never did think of putting my mechanical engineering degree and experience into selling insurance. I’m not at all sure that was an oversight.
I think I’ll skip their job fair. But, if any of you other folks who read this want to consider selling insurance, I can send you the info…

I used to sell life insurance! I worked for the ultimate evil AIG, though. And I sucked at it, really, really bad. I am just not a salesperson at all. But it was interesting--since I was the new kid on the block, I worked the ghetto--and, shockingly, collections was my favorite part! :-)

I am in no way trying to knock insurance sales.
Only saying that I think that if they see "mechanical engineer" and think "he really wants to be an insurance salesman" that they might be somewhat inclined to see that in everyone...
