An Insurance Agent, who finds clients and serves their insurance needs, describes what he loves most about his job, its challenges, and how hard it is to get a job in his field. It's not difficult to get a job in insurance but it's always helpful to have a college degree and some work and life experience.
Insurance sales agents help insurance companies generate new business by contacting potential customers and selling one or more types of insurance. An agent explains various insurance policies and helps clients choose plans that suit them. Although most insurance sales agents work for insurance brokerages selling the policies of several companies, some work directly for a single insurance company.

A number of organizations offer certifications that show an agent’s expertise in insurance specialties. These certifications are not required for employment, but they can give job candidates an advantage over other applicants. Certifications can also be a source of continuing education credit.
