on my way to school today, i met an insurance agent who was doing a market survey.
it was till he mentioned about savings plan that i realised he came from an insurance company.
and then i started asking about him instead. "which insurance company are u from? how long have u joined the company? may i know how old are u?"
Prudential. 4months. 24 years old.
immediately i paid attention. PRUDENTIAL. LIKE WOW.
so i told him that i was doing actuarial science and i possibly might want to join Prudential. well, its currently my first choice anyway.
and so we continued talking and he asked about why i wanted to join Prud and i talked about their core values of RESPECT and he was like "HUH??? wads that??!"
i laughed at him for not knowing his core values. but now i slightly regret cos it must have made him awkward.
on hindsight, thinking about the conversation we had jus now, i could kinda feel that he wasn't exactly happy working at Prud.
but at that point in time i didn't ask about his experience in Prud, and how he felt about it etc. it could have been a great source of information for me.
on one hand i'd like to reach him because i believe he could pull me into the industry. even if its not on the actuarial department, the agency part of it is still a stepping stone. but i left inaccurate details of myself with him and so he can never contact me. now the question is... do i want to contact him for the practical benefit of it?
well honestly it didnt seem like he enjoyed talking to me :S (bad PR skills on my part). so i really dunch know if approaching him can really establish the practical benefit i have in mind.

that aside, i hate facebook for its sheer connectivity.
gotta go back to mugging! 2hours before fal closes.
