Insurance Jobs on the Rise in Spite of Challenging Economy
Chicago (PRWEB) May 20, 2008 -- Combined Insurance, a top provider of supplemental (http://www.combinedinsurance.com/insurance-basics/about-insurance.html) insurance, reports that insurance jobs for sales agents are on the rise, in spite of recent reports by the U.S. Labor Department that unemployment claims are the highest in years. Combined Insurance was among the companies cited as being "recession-proof" and adding new employees in spite of the economic downturn in the April 7 issue of Christian Science Monitor newspaper.
According to Larry Kwalwaser, director of staffing and employee development at Combined Insurance, "Our company's need to fill insurance sales jobs with qualified candidates generally remains strong in weak economic times because consumers are even more in need of the income protection supplemental insurance can offer. Because of this, we continue to add to our agent ranks to meet the growing demand for our services, even when the economy slows."
To accommodate the demand for its supplemental insurance policies, which include accident, disability, health and life, Combined Insurance seeks to hire thousands of employees in all geographic regions across the U.S. and internationally. "There is no specific set of career prerequisites for the insurance job (http://www.combinedinsurance.com/about-combined/insurance-careers/combined-insurance-agents.html) candidates we seek - a variety of skills and past experiences can be good preparation for selling supplemental insurance," said Kwalwaser.
Kwalwaser continued, "The people we hire for our insurance jobs can be moving within the insurance industry, changing careers or graduating from high school, trade school or college. Our insurance job candidates can be of any age 18 and older and in any region - the main thing we look for is people who are energetic, personable, self-disciplined, willing to learn about supplemental insurance and willing to obtain a state insurance license. Another important factor is that our sales agents are motivated by the opportunity to work closely with their customers to help determine how supplemental insurance might best meet their individual needs."
To support the recruitment of sales agents, as well as sales managers and corporate employees, Combined Insurance has recently introduced a refreshed Web site (www.combinedinsurance.com), which is focused on making the benefits of supplemental insurance easy to understand for consumers as well as on recruiting new employees. According to Deborah O'Connor, vice president of Interactive Marketing at Combined Insurance, "We designed the site to showcase the wide array of careers available within our company. People can visit the site to learn more about jobs in insurance and even apply (https://jobs.combined.com/apply/SubmitResume.do) online. During the first few weeks since our new Web site was launched in March, we received more than 1000 applicants online."

Path to success: Talent or hard work
This is an interesting question to ponder on. Is it talent or hard work that leads to success? This is interesting because most never ask themselves this question; much less even think about the answer. It is also interesting because depending how you were brought up, you will probably think it?s one or the other. What I am about to propose to you may be a surprise or it may not be. I challenge you to put what I say to the test. See if what I say makes sense. Take it to the office and look around. See if the top performers in your company have what I say it takes and then see if you have what it takes. I bet that if you get what I am about to say and you apply it; you will change your pathway from getting by to the path of real success.
