I received an unsolicited call from the local AFLAC office since they saw my resume on CareerBuilder.com. After a brief conversation, I arranged to visit the office for an in-person interview. The interview itself was primarily the District and Regional Sales Coordinators explaining the advantages of AFLAC and very little questioning regarding my background. Since all AFLAC agents are independent contractors on 100% commission, the company tries to recruit as many new agents as possible, since the drop-out rate is very high. Since I have multiple sources of income, I was interested in AFLAC as a potential add-on to my current line-up of activities. After two or three more meetings, I sat for the insurance licensing exam and signed a contract. I am currently an AFLAC Associate, although I do not devote much time to it. If a good opportunity to sell their products comes up, I will pursue it, but I don't do the exhaustive prospecting and cold-calling practiced by other agents.
