American Insurance

As a result of posting on CareerBuilder.com last night, today's random email comes from the recruiting director for American Income Life Insurance Company. It reads: "...Your resume was posted online and I would like to have a conversation with you regarding an exciting employment opportunity we have available in Sales Management...providing supplemental life insurance products to North America`s associations, labor and credit union members. We are located and licensed in all 50 states, New Zealand and Canada...Currently we have full-time and part-time openings at entry level sales, junior and senior management and marketing. There is no need for cold calling or telemarketing as we provide 100% qualified warm leads. I am looking forward to speaking with you about this opportunity on a first interview...Please call...so I can book a personal interview with you."


Then I received another insurance recruitment email, this time from United American Insurance Company. It reads: "Whether you have insurance sales or management experience or are looking for a new vocation, we need to talk. I am in the process of hiring 100 new agents and 10 sales managers in Pennsylvania and adjoining areas to market our vast portfolio of life and health products. We specialize in both the senior market as well as people under the age of 65, offering individual as well as payroll deduction life and health plans." Hmm.

I continued reading email and find the very next one to be from the CEO of American Income. Nice marketing tactic in that it grabs my attention. It persuasively reads: "I recently found your resume online and wanted to get in touch with you. We are expanding our sales force by interviewing applicants from a variety of different backgrounds and we believe you have the potential to be an excellent match. We are looking for goal-oriented individuals like you right now. First year earnings, advances and bonuses can range from $45,000 to $75,000 for new representatives. No experience is necessary. Full training is provided to help maximize your earning potential. ...P.S. You received this E-mail because you responded to our ad or placed your resume on one of the internet job boards."

The next email reads "Hi, my name is John Gore and I am the Senior Vice President of United Americans Branch Office Division. I found your resume online and wanted to contact you. We are now hiring applicants from a wide variety of backgrounds and we believe you are an outstanding match. We have immediate openings for motivated individuals like you.
