Hello house members i jus got a job in an insurance firm (mutual benefit assurance) as a marketing executive. I was given their appointment letter to start up on tuesday 17th feb. I want house members dat have pass through the insurance industry to advice me whether 2take up this job. I am considering not to go for the training. Pls help me... Through ur suggestion. Thanks, one naija we are...
My guy, I'll like you to know that its your life.I turned down an appointment with a PFA this january.I just cudn't do the stuff.So ,its your life like i said.You know what your objectives are, where you want your life to look like.We need a paradigm shift.
From the way you sound, it seems you dont really like the company. I'll advice you to accept the offer for now even if there are other green lights flashing. A bird at hand is worth two in the bush. But I will also say this. Dont settle for anything other than the best. Keep your eyes open friend.
Hello Unic,
What did the coy offer to pay you; and what are the conditions of your employment? Are there prospects of future career advancement? Will you derive any jop satisfaction? etc. ;D Answer to these questions will form the bedrock of your decision.
Best of Luck
PLS , Would like to know the take home package of this inurance company.
u need to let people know about the terms and conditions of the employment before you can be advise and to let you know...........you have to hold on to something first before you can start looking for options..........God Bless as we seek to find a green pasture
Thanks 2u all 4ur nice contribution. A friend of mine jus gingered me up 2attend d training & see wat they have in stock b4 l will decide 2stay or leave. The terms of their payment wil be made known during the training. I jus appreciate naija house members 4their inspiring words. My prayer 4all u jobseekers out there is dat the will of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST wil be perfected in our lives. AMEN.
Hmmmm, I lack the right adjectives to qualify Insurance world... they are just "conservatively Stingy". I worked once with the supposedly one of the top Insurance Company-AiiCO Insurance. My experience...very pathetic. You only end up working for their pockets and yours keeps running dry. Well, Know what you are doing... You destiny may be there, who knows. I can't advice you on what to do. GOD ALMIGHTY bless you.
i hope u know what marketing is all about, can u cope? and what is the pay like? my dear think about these things
You hit the nail smartly on the head.Quote:

I think you should take it, cos its not good to be out of job, from there you can stumble into so many other opportunities.
cheers.
i will advise u 2 take it because marketing job is the most flexible , u will av time 2 go about ur other businesses like looking 4 other job opportunities, attending interviews, writting tests and even ur personal businesses unlike those that are confined to the office 24/7. even if d pay is small , do it , it will ginger up ur C.V as working experience, frm their u will move on to a better one. I also work as a marketing executive in an IT company and i m as free as a bird, looking 4 other opportunities and doing other things. BEST OF LUCK
Follow 'ur heart while keeping the Nigerian factor and ur probability of getting another job in mind.
Best of luck.
it's better you start somewhere work experience is very important when you arer searching for job.
A bird at hand is worth more than 100 in the bush
This is an opportunity. take it and look for something better later. Good luck.
My Man U did apply 4 dis job in the first place,Why are you now contemplating welther 2 accept it or not,my sincere advice 2 U is dat U go back 2 Ur own objective(s),but always remember that satisfaction, security and value are all we need in our choice of work,if all these are not present,pls look elsewhere.

I was once invited for an interview with an insurance company and I was told I would have to deposit N100,000 before I begin work. How mean could they be?
dear traez, 35k??
is that for Bsc??
Kay, what insurance coy pls?
@Mikky1 it was Standard Alliance. As a marketer, Monthly pay was to be N15K plus commission and unless I didnt get them clearly, they said they were going to be paying me d N15k out of my N100K i deposited. I never knew one still pays to be a slave. When we are told to start from somewhere, it does'nt mean we should start up as slaves. Im not that desperate. Infact I dont even think I can ever settle for less.
no leave it mumu
