The agent selection process is designed to help you evaluate the agency opportunity and help American Family Insurance assess your knowledge, skills and abilities.

The American Family Insurance selection process can be challenging. But it is designed to allow you to explore this career opportunity without termination of your current employment - making it low-risk for you. If at any time during the process you feel this opportunity is not for you, you may simply withdraw from the process without any obligations.

Here is a summary of what you may encounter during the agent selection process.

• You'll apply by submitting your resume online at VURV or after contacting us directly at fieldrecruitment@amfam.com.
• You'll complete and submit the online agency application, motor vehicle report (MVR) authorization, and credit bureau report (CBR) authorization.
• You are then contacted by a district manager or recruiter to begin a series of meetings and interviews. During this time you learn more about what's involved in a career as an American Family Insurance agent.
• You may be asked to practice prospecting (lead generation). This allows you and the district manager to discuss and evaluate your prospecting skills.
• You are introduced to some basic insurance training materials and asked to review American Family Insurance's products.
• You and the district manager discuss items such as production goals, the American Family Insurance Agent Agreement, estimated income and the expected business expenses.
