81. How to Write an Insurance Agent Resume that Stands Out
Manage episode 352300635 series 2993813
Don’t make the mistake of writing a standard resume that won’t stand out in a crowd.
An insurance agent must highlight their experience and skills in an attention-grabbing resume or risk losing the job to someone who knows how to land an interview. For this episode of Agents Growth Academy, host Jim Schubert shares the details of what to include–and not include–in your resume from your contact information all the way down to your designations.
3 Key Takeaways
- You have five seconds to sell yourself to the person scanning your resume. Don’t waste it on “I’d like to further my career…”
- Show them the money! They want to see specific numbers you have generated in the past; paint them a clear picture of what you’re capable of.
- LinkedIn is more than a means to see what you look like! Your potential employer will pay attention to how you interact with clients online.
