Professional Advice needed
I have been a receptionist for 4 months now. I like my job well enough, but the workplace can be hostile and there is an abnormally high turn over rate. About 7 girls to be fired or quit in my first 90 days. I dont want to leave unless I go somewhere with better pay and a better environment. I've applied places but gotten no response. I really want to be an insurance agent, but can not seem to get my foot in the door....

Kimberly, I think a huge part of making a career transition is to have people vouch for you and have connections! Have you considered looking for a local meetup of insurance agents in your area? They can probably give you advice on what steps to take and they'll be great connections in the industry.
