I'm curious what the average salary is for an Associate Agent. I'm licensed & do everything after the sale is made as well as refer new business. I have 14 years in the industry but have been at the current company less than a year, so I know that plays a part as well. Anyone in a like-position by chance?State Farm Allstate Travelers

I so feel you. I interviewed 3x for a role and finally heard from them yesterday. They want me to do a final interview with the managing partner and that’s the last piece. I feel like I will get an offer but the process is dragging. It has been a 6 week process and counting. I had an interview with another firm and that was 1 on 1 with HR and the attorney I would work with. I was the first candidate and they are interviewing through next Tuesday. In the meantime I’m interviewing on Monday with a third firm so my hope is one of these work out. I’m still applying until I get an offer. Looking for work is exhausting. I haven’t followed up with anyone. I also hate feeling like I’m begging for work. Just hire me already!!! Sending good vibes your way. Things have to change one way or another.
and they will keep plugging away one of those interviewers will see your worth!!!
I have been at this for 18 months. One of two final candidates in 4 interviews and not chosen after I cme in for the final interview. It could be becasue I am over age 50, Black and walking with a very obvious limp. I have had two HR employees ask comment on my disability in the final interview as if they were surprised, and being disabled means I won't be able to do the job that I have 25 years of experience doing. I am at a loss on what to do. Reached out to former contacts and vendors to make connections, but still did not secure the two jobs I was referred to. I had to go back into therapy to get through this. Stay faithful and encouraged as best you can.
Also illegal to discriminate based on race and age. I’m appalled that they would ever bring up your disability during the interview process. Or ever. They should never be the one to open that conversation. Wishing the BEST of luck!
It's definitely discouraging. It sounds like they really did like you though. I would try to be patient and not appear desperate or anxious. Did you send a thank you after the last interview? If you already did, then wait a week to follow up again.
I believe if we are chasing that says it all. When they want you - you will know. They will calling and emailing you. I wouldn’t bother putting too much energy into composing chase up messages. Their loss.
Getting all those comments that make me feel like I am guaranteed the job is the hardest. I know there are no guarantees, but it’s just so tough hearing how great you are for the role, and then rejection, or they don’t say anything at all. I would follow up, but keep looking.
It took me 4 months last year. I ended up taking a contract position because I desperately needed income at that point. Contract position just ended in May and it took 2 months this time. Luckily this time I secured permanent employment. It’s SO hard out there. And SO VERY hard to keep a positive attitude as you’re going through interview after interview. I had one experience that about destroyed my spirit. I went over and above and beyond for a position I thought was my dream job. I spent 2 days creating a professional portfolio for the interview panel. The first 2 interviewers seemed to really like me. But I knew I bombed with the second 2. Keep your head up. Something is going to happen for you. Just keep giving it your all. GOOD LUCK!!
Always send a thank you email the next day for the interview opportunity.

Totally agree that it’s very discouraging. I would wait a day or two and then follow up as it could just be them working on logistics from the back end
It is a #s game. Apply,apply, apply
I thought I nailed my interview and was sure I was going to get the job based on what was said and then got a call saying they picked someone else 😭
