After graduating from Texas Tech University in 2019, I had entered the insurance industry with little prior experience. While working for a small brokerage firm, I was searching for an established company that would be willing to prepare and invest in me to thrive in the industry. The Early Career Program at Guardian was the perfect fit. Over the span of 11 months, Guardian equipped me with the tools to develop a well-rounded understanding of not only my own Client Manager position, but also other roles that I work with daily to provide a complete grasp of Guardian’s workflow. Additionally, our community is truly amazing, there is always someone ready to help, no matter the issue or question. I joined Guardian in July of 2020 when things felt a little unpredictable, but this career path choice has proven to be so fulfilling and I am grateful to be here.
After graduating from Bates College, I joined Guardian in July of 2020 eager to move into both a new industry and a new organization. With so much uncertainty, what was certain at Guardian was the rise in small market business growth, progressive and innovative leadership, and dedicated and resourceful Sales Enablement professionals. The training and development program is an exceptional opportunity and jumping off point for those entering the industry with a desire to develop relationships, challenge themselves, and help the client networks that they serve. The Early Career Program helps position participants confidently into the marketplace where they can utilize new knowledge to succeed, win and drive business. I would enthusiastically recommend Guardian for a variety of reasons, but more specifically for the organization’s loyalty to our core values, “Do the Right Thing, Go Above and Beyond and People Count.”
