If you feel like a career in life insurance sales is for you, there are a couple steps to take in finding your first job. Life insurance is not a profession for the thin-skinned or faint-at-heart. In fact, more than any other factor, including education and experience, life insurance agents must possess a fighting spirit. They must be people who love the thrill of the hunt, the rush of a sale and see rejection as a stepping-stone to eventual success. A career in life insurance sales is not ideal for those who view themselves as introverted, soft-spoken, or afraid of conflict.

First and foremost, you'll need to put together a resume that highlights your entrepreneurial spirit.

Once you've got your resume polished, you'll want to begin finding positions and applying. It's really important that you don't feel pressured to take the first position that comes along, as working for the wrong company can both burn you out and haunt you for the rest of your insurance career. Ideally, you want to work for a well-known company that has a good reputation among consumers, other agents and the insurance rating agencies.

Hope this helps!!!
