Job search news
Well, that didn't go so well.
I was being sold (not that is a bad thing) a job in the insurance industry. I was getting the (hopefully) straight skinny on what reasonable numbers were as far as production, and it sounded accomplishable. Even though I had a red flag (one of the subsidiary companies is despised by Dave Ramsey) it sounded like a good deal.
Then came the sticking part. In order to become an insurance salesman, you have to attend a week long class. I can handle that. And they wanted $350 up front for the class. Sorry, can't do that. No deduction in pay once you're in or anything like that. And you know me, barely making it on what I do have. I have the $350, but I'm not spending it on a class like that.
The good news is I have a similar offer from another well known company, and it sounds like they would pay for the class. I don't know that at this point, but I'm hopeful. I'll know more Tuesday, that's when the appointment takes place. I'll keep you guys up to date. Breaking news as it happens and all that.
