Can someone tell me more about the Health Insurance field? I was recruited by a popular company but I have some reservations because it's commission only. I have only worked with contracts and as a salaried employee. Plus I was asked to obtain my Health License. I really would like some advice.

If you never worked a commissioned only job without a base salary it means you could go weeks, months or the entire duration of your job without a commission.
Even people that thrive in sales, it can take a while to build up the level clientele that could lead to stable income. Keep applying elsewhere.
Personal Experience: About 20yrs ago I worked as a mortgage specialist, commission only for about 2 years. As hard as I tried to contact leads and build clientele I only managed to close on 1 property making $5k. $5k in 2 years is not enough to live on. So if you cannot afford to take that gamble DONT take the job

Commission only means no guaranteed income. If you need a steady paycheck can you stay at your day job and do this on the side? Also are they going to reimburse you for getting your health insurance license?

I would not consider taking this position unless you have one to two years savings cushion to hold you over while you get licensed and try to build a book of business.
I actually would not recommend taking any 100% commission position for the average person. I did it but it adds incredible stress to the job for most people. I wouldn't do it again.

Hey, I recently wanted to try something new for some fun, and a friend suggested https://vegas-hero.gr/bonus . I had a few losing streaks on other slots, but when I tried “Book of Dead,” the spins were smooth and really exciting. After a few rounds, I managed to win a decent amount, which gave me the confidence to keep playing. I definitely recommend it for players from Greece who want an entertaining casino experience with real chances to win.

Hey, similar story here actually! I was jumping between different platforms and kept hitting losing streaks, started thinking maybe it's just bad luck but then realized the platforms themselves were kinda trash. A friend told me to try official 1Win Pakistan https://1win-pak.pk/ and honestly things turned around. First thing I did was grab their welcome bonus which gave me extra cushion to play with, didn't feel pressured betting my own money right away. Tried their slots and some live cricket betting, finally started seeing consistent wins and most importantly withdrawals actually processed fast.

I've been exploring new job opportunities, and it seems like the Health Insurance field is gaining a lot of attention these days, especially with its potential for high commissions. However, the idea of working solely on commission is a bit daunting since I’ve always had a stable salary. For anyone looking for a fresh perspective on this, I came across some interesting insights on job hunting and industry changes at https://slotexos.it , which could provide useful tips. Balancing the excitement of a new role with the uncertainty of commission-based pay can be tricky, so seeking advice from others who've made similar shifts might really help in making the right decision.
