Lansing-based Jackson National Life Insurance Company is looking to hire 40 employees. In 2009, the company hired more than 400 employees.
According to excerpts from the article:
Holly Ledesma was laid off in July 2009 after working for the same insurance company for 7 years. Ledesma says, "I was worried and I really wanted to look for something that would be a good fit and I was a little bit concerned. After you've been employed for about 7-8 years for one employer, you don't really anticipate being laid off. So, this was a little bit scary."
However, she found a new job in October 2009 at Jackson National Life Insurance Company in Lansing. Currently, they are looking for up to 40 people to hire. Ledesma says, "In Michigan's economy, this is a great opportunity for people to apply."
Annie Topie, Manager of Community Relations says, "Jackson is a successful, growing company and...there are consistent openings within the Lansing area."
The company is doing so well, they hired just shy of 400 people in one office building alone in 2009. Vice President of Corporate Communications Tim Padot says, "When we moved into this building, we had a little more than 900 employees and today we're approaching 1,700."
