Hi,
I'm new here. I just passed the exam, and I've got my first interview this afternoon. Any advice? I never worked in the industry before. Thanks.

Get ready for a lot of work. P&C seems easier since you can probably find a bunch of people you already know who at the least would let you quote them car insurance--and in many respects it's a lot easier prospecting than life/investments--but much smaller commissions means high volume is a huge priority.
It's a world filled with CSR's and pseudo agents, which isn't always a bad thing. It give you a chance to learn the business and build a name while not being intimately tied to profit and loss.
What company are you talking to? Big name captive? Or locally owned agency?

It's a big name captive. I don't know anything about being an insurance yet (no experience) but I guess I'll find out! I'm still in the interviewing process.
