This is an informal resume exchange program. Individuals seeking employment in the insurance industry are encouraged to send their resumes to the CIB. The staff at the CIB will categorize the resume as "sales" or "other". When a member agency is looking to fill a position, they can call the CIB and we will send them copies of the appropriate résumé's we have on file. The board does not screen the candidates or try to match the person to the appropriate positions, it simply sends copies of recent résumé's to a member upon request. This service is free to members and not available to non-members. These resume's are not be posted on the Internet.

If you wish you can post your resume' on our Website so that it can be viewed by our members. (Click here). This is a free service. For a member to view the Resume Post, go to the Members Only section of  this Internet site.

Often an agency when advertising for employees in the newspaper wishes to remain anonymous. You can use the newspaper's post office box, but this can be expensive. The CIB will provide this service free to members.

Before you place an ad, call the CIB to receive a unique "department number". When you place the ad have the applicants send their résumé's to the "department number" at the CIB. As the Board receives the résumé's, we will forward them to you.
