requisite qualifications and competence to fill jobs in the organization. It can also be defined

as: It is the process of differentiating between applicants in order to identify (and hire) those

Advisor.

CRITERIA FOR SELECTION

a good number of contacts & an amount of trust that people build over a person.

as an insurance advisor, if he has a natural market he can sell insurances to them also.

Time: The candidate should have enough time and proper focus for the training as well

as for the work.

Desire to earn money: This is a factor that a candidate must certainly possess. It would

motivate him to give out more and more business & if he will have a desire to earn

money he would be more devoted toward his work.

&


36/48

It helps build Companys image among the applicants.References: Candidate is also asked for references. Previous employers, known public

stages and is then finally selected for the job.

competitive. Insurance involves tiring field work and tele contacting, the prospective customers

to persuade them and convince them about future benefits of the insurance scheme.

expertise and experience.


44/48

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

The study results can be better applied to comparable cities and situations.

As the sample size is small, the opinions and beliefs of respondents may not representtrue universe.

Personal biases of respondents may also act as hindrance towards clear picture of study.

The study was taken up in one city only and the responses may not be applicable to othercities or states.

While an attempt has been made to explore the scope, the competition and customers,developing the marketing plan for the company would require a great deal more expertise

and experience.
