Alright so I just got offered a position at a life insurancr company. Being a broke college grad I'm obviously happy at the prospect of getting a well paid position where they will train me.
There's just one caveat. They want me to list 100 people I know. They didn't say that my employment was on the line based on whether or not I sell to these 100, and the handout says it's just part of the training, but it seemed a little iffy to me. It's a well known company, they're paying for my exams, and it's an all around great opportunity. It's certainly better than letting my brain rot in neet land.
So my question is, has any ever done something like this, and how did it go? Should I ditch the other potential jobs (retail and warehouse) for this? I only have to choose because I have a week to do an online course and the 100 contacts thing.

Of course your job will be bringing in contacts.
That's what a shitty sales job is about.
Up to you to try or not, but I wouldn't list family or close friends, you know they'll call them.

That's the thing, I don't havr to give phone numbers or addresses or anything like that. They say it's to see what areas I need more training in.
Company is Western & Southern Life btw. They check out and the course is already paid for.

do they require the phone numbers? i dont think they'd make you sell to them, thats not realyl the way insurance is done as far as im aware (my mother did it for a few years when she worked for farmers insurance).
it might just be some testament to your sociability which comes in handy in the sales game.

No they don't. I'm not a natural sales person BUT I'm not at a point in my life where I can choose my dream employment (don't even know what that is) so I'm just going at it to see where it will take me.
How was it for your mom?

it was fine. there was an issue with ONE client that started stalking us for a year. he camped out on the hill behind our house and would sometimes follow us as we walked through the woods to school. one time we came home and he'd broken in and had laid out all my moms under garments.
that night he was across the street from us the entire night. cops couldnt do anything cuz he was on public property (an old graveyard).
but other than that she made decent enough money, and didnt hate her job

Yeesh that sounds fucking awful. But it's good to hear about the mone, that's the main reason I'm going head on into this thing.

it was a rare incident, the kind that isn't specific to that job, so i wouldnt worry.

I'm just a little apprehensive about having to call off the other jobs. My back up is an amazon warehouse associate which would make a lot less. I can't do both because I'm supposed to study 52 hours between now and next week when I have my next interview, and if it doesn't go well I'm out two potential jobs with mo back up.
