stevestojan Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I was in Buffalo this weekend for an interview at Geico. I applied last week, got a call the next day, so decided to fly home this weekend (I just landed back in WPB an hour ago). Anyway, had an hour long interview on Saturday morning. Then came back and had a THREE hour interview today. And right on the spot they offered me the job (as an underwriter). It's not in my field of Marketing, but they pay is surprisingly good, I get a 10% discount on my Car insurance, and the health and dental benefits start the FIRST day you start to work. Anyway, just a bit excited as it just so happens the day I start and the day I leave Florida are 4 days apart (including a weekend). I will miss two days of work during the entire move. You can send your congrats in the form of cash.. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UConn James Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Get ready for hypothermia and sunburn on the same day. (To answer the question, yes. On a chilly morning and blazing hot afternnon of haying on a dairy farm about 50 miles east of Roch.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopsGuy Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I would say that your departure would free up more chicks for me, but then again I don't think you're fishing in my pond. (j/k) Good luck with all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gantrules Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Wow, from Marketing to Underwriting? From what I've seen most marketing folks are more like you, outgoing, charismatic whereas most underwriters are quiet and aloof. Congrats, guy! That's awesome you found something so quickly.

CoachChuckDickerson Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 Congrats. I hope to follow in your footsteps soon. The Buffalo job market isn't as bad as some make it out. If you have an education and marketable skills you'll land something. Good for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
