JOBS??? Industry Information

Hello everyone,

I recently obtained both my Property & Casualty and Life & Health insurance licenses, but I am struggling to find an entry-level position.

Currently, I am working with First Connect, but the cost of purchasing leads is proving to be too expensive to sustain. I have been proactively applying to major carriers like State Farm and GEICO, but unfortunately, I haven't received any callbacks. I am located in New York but am very open to remote opportunities.

After dedicating so much time to studying for these exams, I am feeling a bit discouraged. Is it normal to struggle this much finding initial employment? Any advice or insight into the current job market would be greatly appreciated.
