Hi Group – Taking a quick poll on your County Agent minimum requirements. We currently have a Bachelors GPA requirement of 2.7 cumulative (or 3.0 in the last 60 hours) for all Agent positions. In the past, waivers have been made with the approval from our Associate Vice President for applicants who obtained their degree over 5 years ago.
Do any of you have similar requirements in place? We’re looking at revamping our policy to either eliminate the waiver or become more inclusive, and I was curious what others were doing in our region.
Thanks,
