Dear Insurance Job Seeker,

Last month's sales career fair was a huge success! We had around 35 companies set up virtual booths and over 17,000 candidates attended. With the many new jobs that were added throughout the month, the opportunity for finding an exciting new sales position was abundant. All of the employers would like to express their gratitude to those who submitted resumes and applied for positions. GreatInsuranceJobs.com will continue to bring you unique virtual experiences such as the online career fair. We understand the value of making your job search process as simple as clicking your mouse.

Sincerely,
Robin Doering
Marketing Coordinator

Succeeding on the Job Interview
So you landed the interview! It's not over just yet, although you are one step closer to securing your place as future 'fill in the blank'. The job interview can be challenging because you have a limited amount of time to come across as the professional and competent candidate the interviewer is looking for. Your main goal is to bring to life the driving points on your resume that make you stand out from the competition. Don't just tell the person interviewing you that you are driven to be successful. Show them by producing real work examples that have moved you forward in your last job. Here are some other tips on how to ace the interview:

• Arrive Early - It's a good idea to arrive at least 15 minutes early. This will give you time to fill out any necessary paperwork and also allow you to observe the office environment. You should ideally drive to the location as a trial run the night before if you don't know where it is.
• Dress to Impress - Even if the position you are interviewing for is not a professional one, dress as though it were. Employers will appreciate the effort. And don't wear flip flops!
• Do your Research - Know about the business, even if you haven't worked in the industry before. Read everything you can that's been published about the company including visiting their website. Ask lots of questions!
  
• Be Honest - If the interviewer asks a question you are not comfortable answering, don't make up some crazy story. Chances are it will come back to haunt you. Stick with the facts and you'll do fine.
  
• Follow Up - Be sure to get a business card from every person you speak with at the interview, even the receptionist. Then write thank you notes. Hand written or typed letters are best but emails are better than nothing. Mention a specific date and time that you will follow up about the position with a phone call if you haven't heard back after a reasonable period of time.

Q. I've applied to several jobs and never heard back. How do I know if the employer received my resume?

A. Upon applying to a job, you will receive an automated response email confirming that your application was successfully received. Employers will usually respond within 1-2 weeks of getting resumes if they are interested. If you are not receiving desired results, you might want to try brushing up your resume. There is a Resources link at the bottom of our website which has a lot of good information to help with your career search.
