After 33 years in security and commercial sales, I am attempting to start a fresh new career in the Insurance industry Property& Casualty. Do you think it will be hard to get a sales job after I pass the test?

Insurance companies hire if you have a pulse , sorry to say . I’m 62, 32 years in mortgage lending . Only places I’ve had contact with.

I can’t say with any certainty in this job market. However, out of all the things out there, you’ll probably do OK once you get the licenses you need.

It's impossible to say, as in this job market it seems everyone is challenged. However, with your experience you would seem to have an edge, so that's cause for optimism.

A fresh start is possible. Once you pass the test, your sales background becomes a real advantage. Insurance relies heavily on trust and communication, and you already have those skills.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Posting for a friend who is an AVP at a large asset manager in NYC:

A smaller hedge fund is very interested in my friend for their Asst Controller position where the work would be more interesting for them but the organization structure is flat and brand recognition is lower.

How much of a salary increase should they be looking for to jump. Another point is that they've been at their current position for almost 1 year.

Thanks!
