Sumana Rangachar will present "Reinventing Yourself in a Career That Gives You Personal and Financial Satisfaction".
Sumana was a practicing attorney until 2009 when she decided to explore careers outside of law that suited her personality, strengths, skills and goals. She decided to become an agent at NY Life Insurance Co. in late 2009 because she found that this career would give her the opportunity to meet many of the personal goals she had set for herself. She wanted to build her own business in a field that helped people and that leveraged her legal knowledge. She worked hard because it was enjoyable and as a result was promoted earlier this year to the role of sales manager/partner at the New Jersey General Office in Saddle Brook NJ. Her new role allows her to select, develop and support new agents to the field and enjoy the growth and success of each of her agents.
Both events will take place at Temple Beth Shalom, 193 E. Mt. Pleasant Avenue, Livingston, NJ 07039.
All are welcome and admission is free, but seating is limited. To attend, please R.S.V.P. to tbscareernetworking@gmail.com mailto:tbscareernetworking@gmail.com.
