secondtube Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Last night at Mohawk College, they held their yearly awards ceremony. I was told i was eligible for two awards....so needless to say, i was excited. yesterday started off great, finding out I was hired by Cal Schultz Insurance in Burlington (waaaaaay better than driving to Toronto). i figured all my good luck was drained, but i was wrong. i was the winner of the Pearson Education Award for highest mark in the program, 93.1 average, then I was awarded with the Royal Sun Alliance Underwriting award! This one was the one i was aiming for. Included with the second award was a cheque for 1,000! Following the presentation with the head of commercial underwriting at Royal, i was offered a full time job with them! THEN, the owner of Pearson Dunn Insurance, Jim Pearson offered me a job on the spot! So now i have three jobs i'm choosing between. Yesterday was probably THE BEST day of my life. I am now able to add TWO awards to my resume, i have THREE full time jobs to choose from, all because i've been busting my ass in Insurance like ive never busted ass before. On my way to the bank to drop the cheque on my credit card....Its finally going to be paid off!! (((((AND I GOT A JOB))))))!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Nicely done! Uh, did you get the job offers in writing (or at least make arrangements to get them set up formally)? (This buzz-kill brought to you by the Partnership For The Minimization Of Corporate Scum "Memory Loss".) Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted March 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 well, the Cal Schultz is in writing.... Pearson and Royal weren't. I'm emailing my resume to them today. Doesn't really matter which one i choose, i'm only looking for experience. pay isn't important right now. (lots of years ahead of me to bank some coin!)
