Proper Attire To An Insurance Interview

[jmatos]

I am from the old school.........suit and tie.

The last several years I have noticed the professional field going casual.


What is considered appropriate attire in todays market for an insurance agent interview?

www.iliaa.org has a great video on this...

It all depends on your client. Business owners I dress up for.

If it is a motorcycle club,,I dont.

I try and size up my client.

Most of the time...Polo and dress pants..

Are you talking about an interview for a position, or interviewing a prospect?

I am sorry. I am talking about an interview for a position. Usually when in front of a client unless a business owner or the setting requires, i wear dress slacks and a nice shirt. Maybe even a neck tie.

But for the job interview what does the industry expect these days? There has been so many changes in the way people prospect for a job these days.

I'd go with the suit. If you believe your potential clients warrant a dress shirt and maybe tie, then definitely wear a suit for your future boss.

You'll never alienate an office business person with a suit and tie. You might with a nice polo and dockers.

Why take a chance?

Concur....however when selling or meeting with clients I am business casual unless meeting with a high end client. I've sold many a policy in sneakers.

If you are interviewing with Bankers Life and Casualty, American Income, Combined, etc. It doesn't matter what you wear as long as you remember to breathe.

Sad but true...you can probably add AFLAC to that list as well.
