well going naked is without question. but i have researched the company a bit and have been reading some common question they ask. i really dont want to an insurance guy but i have to start in the business world someway. all the places id really want to work require 2 yrs experience.

I sold insurance for Prudential years ago but I was a lousy salesman. [img]frown.gif[/img] The job didn't pay as much as they claimed either. But if you're good at it you can definitely make a bundle - quick. Best of luck. [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Wear clothes one step above their standard of dress

Do not repeat ypurself when they ask you questions pertaining to reasosn why they should hire you. It shows you are unsure of yourself.

Don't intitiate the hand shake. Wait for them to start it.

Be 12 minutes early. No more, no less.

Breath beep and slowly.

Don't talk to fast. It shows you can't stay calm when handeling high preasure situations.

And good luck.

The big question they always seem to ask is "Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?"

Prep a solid response before going in. Even if it's a lie, absence verbal stumbling will make it seem like the truth.

"Well Mr. Smith, I see myself as a valueable employee who continually shows a profitable growth and who maintains the level of professionalism and responsibility of the position which accompanies that growth."
