I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Horace Mann (Tampa, FL) in Jan 2010
Interview
I was interviewed by a branch manager. We went to Insurance school together. He asked questions that are typical of the profession, they are trying to see if you are a salesman or clerical type. Have a good idea of the enviorment is good. You will spend alot of time in the teachers breakroom, with a table setup. You may want to do raffles or even giveaways to get teacher and staff info. Property and casualty may be your best bet for getting infront of folks.
