NYL Internship Opportunity
I recently received an internship opportunity in insurance sales through a close connection. As a freshman in college, I understand that insurance sales can often be viewed negatively, but I believe that any experience is valuable. Additionally, I think my connection has the potential to assist me in building my professional skills in other areas. Should I pursue this opportunity?

It sounds like a fantastic opportunity, especially as a freshman! Gaining any type of professional experience early in your college career can be incredibly beneficial. While insurance selling may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it can help you develop valuable skills such as communication, networking, and sales techniques. Plus, having a close connection can make the experience more enriching and supportive.
Even if you end up deciding that insurance isn’t your long-term career path, the skills and connections you’ll gain through this internship can be invaluable in any field. Consider what you hope to learn and achieve from the experience, and if it aligns with your professional goals, I say go for it! You can always explore other opportunities later on as you build your resume.
