Articles on financial planning & investing for women from Guardian Life Insurance Company
We believe every women should have a career that satisfies her heart, bank account and entrepreneurial spirit. So along with our products, support and resources, Guardian also provides female Financial Representatives with a breadth of programs, seminars and materials to educate and support you.
Our career track for female Financial Representatives has three cornerstones:
Learning: our learning environment includes online and classroom training, workshops and conferences and continuing education opportunities.
Networking & Affiliations: our culture emphasizes cooperation among peers, not internal competition. You can benefit from respected and successful role models who serve on Guardian's Women's Leadership Advisory Board and attend our annual Women's Leadership Summit
Career Development: our national partnership with Women in Insurance and Financial Services provides you access to additional levels of support and professional coaching and mentoring. Additionally, those who partner with Guardian are often immediately teamed with a veteran mentor who sees them through their early work with clients' short-term and long term financial goals. They walk clients through many aspects of planning: investments, and insurance and some grow to specialize in retirement and estate planning, funding for college and general investment options.

Some facts about a career in financial services:
A recently published Money.com and Salary.com survey of best jobs in America reported that Financial Guide was rated number three, only bested by a software engineer and college professor. Those surveyed considered their job growth, pay and stress levels.
U.S. News and World Report listed the position of financial planner as one of the twenty hottest professions for the future since baby-boomers marching into middle age with an array of investment choices will create a drastic demand for financial planning professionals not to mention the majority of the boomers are women.
