hi,i was wondering if anyone had experience with insurance company
AFLAC (selling ins to businesses),whether they issue H1B visas. the
job i am referring to is "sales management trainee"; they have
lawyers,MBAs, college grads but also ppl without college working at
this job. i was also told at the interview that they hire ppl of
different nationalities. my question: would an H1B be feasible in this
case? i cannot tell from their website if a college degree is
necessary. please give any feedback if possible.thank you!

my guess: if you say, they have people without a degree working for this
job, than the job doesn't require a degree and therefore doesn't qualify
for H1B. Just my guess. But i would also say, that any job, that is a
"trainee" job doesn't qualify for H1B.

I have some information that might help however please dont consider it
set in stone, this is just my experience, when i was graduating from
college i went to a job fair and i met a recruiter from AFLAC, he was a
nice guy he got there early as i did so we got to talking anyways to cut
a long story short he was interested in me coming to his office to
interview etc, i told him i was from overseas etc and about
sponosorships etc, he basically said oh wow never had anyone from
overseas, (at thta point i figured guess they dont do sponosors) i was
looking for a IT job anyways and not a insurance job so i didnt go
furthur than that with him anyways how ever, anyways this was my
experience!

interesting! there is a web site (forgot the name) it's a database
where you type in the company name and it shows you how many h1b
applications were processed there in recent months. i checked there
for AFLAC and it said there definitely were h1b applications going
on,but i couldn't tell for which jobs. now i really wonder....if

Could be, i didnt really check any lists back then it so happend the guy
said he doesnt know anyone from overseas or words to that effect back
then. Why do you want to know, do you have an interview with them and
just wanna know ahead so u dont expect much??

if its a suitable position then why not just go in for the interview,
just a note just because a company doesnt list it has done h1b's doesnt
mean it wont make an exception, although i do admit this is old info
perhaps nowdays its less but you will never know till you find out so go
ahead and see what they say. best of luck bud!
