This was an amazing opportunity to use the skills that I've learned, as well as the abilities that I naturally possess to help better the lives of my clients in regards to purchasing life and health insurance.Professional requirements:As a professional career, I had to fulfill certain, state-sponsored requirements for me to be able to solicit, negotiate, and sell insurance products. These regulations help to promote the protection of the public, ensure professional competency, and to ensure legitimate, ethical business practices. I recently completed my training in the lines of authority required by my respective company. This enabled me to obtain two Oklahoman residential state licenses with lines of authority in life insurance and accident and health insurance (see "certifications" below for more information). These were both required by the authority of the Oklahoma Insurance Department. I completed the OK Life State/OK Life General (Producer) certification and the OK Life Accident and Health State/OK Accident and Health General (Producer) certification.As an insurance agent, I was responsible for:-----Future considerations: Upon residential state licensure in Oklahoma, I plan to obtain non-residential state licensure in the surrounding states of Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Texas. Other possible non-residential state licenses that I might pursue would be in Colorado, Louisiana, and New Mexico. Show less

After graduation from Union Christian Academy in May 2007, I chose Webb's Fireworks Incorporated as my first job, since there were few opportunities available. This job is important to me in that it was my first. A seasonal job, this job usually lasts from approximately from June 25th and ends around June 5th, depending on the number of sales that go on each respective year. In my first job I recurrently have:- Resolved customer complaints/concerns with products.- Processed and tracked multiple kinds of inventory.- Worked long hours on multiple occassions, often with extended schedules.- Established a commitment to the company through flexibility in scheduling.- Served the company wholeheartedly and professionally in a hot, dirty, and crowded environment for five faithful years.Note: Even during and after my college years I have come back to work for this great company, as it is always a pleasure to come back to work for my original employers and supervisors. Each and every year there is always new team members to befriend and new customers to meet. Show less

However, I have several recommendations listed here in reference to my work with SHRM.
