Got a call from a recruiter stating they found my resume on Monster.com. I asked why is an insurance company interested in hiring a 26 year Navy veteran with ZERO sales experience? She said sales isn't the only job open and that a salary (management) job was open as well. Intrigued, I went to the interview to learn about the company. In order to reach management, you must be in the field selling insurance for a period of time and do well enough to build your own team. Sounds great if you are single, out of college, and hungry to work long night time hours. However, I quickly found out it's not for me, since I have 2 kids and a need to replace senior enlisted military pay NOW, and not wait for an undisclosed amount of time based solely on sales.....Needless to say, it sounds like an awesome company to work for, and I'm sure I would've succeeded, just don't have that kind of time.....

I was contacted by a recruiter that works for American Income Life (AIL) and scheduled a group interview the following morning. While there, a few current AIL managers presented the hiring process, company functions, compensation package, among other relevant information.
