Credible Career Sources vs. Invalid Internet Graffiti

Hello IPA Family and Friends!

As I write to you today from the magnificent city of Chicago, where I will be visiting our “Center of Excellence” a bit later, I wanted to briefly share with you a great experience and some insights that I personally experienced yesterday while on my visit here.

As most of you are aware by now, the IPA Family launched its new website community this past Monday to rave reviews. Yesterday, I was here in Chicago doing some film work with our strategic business partner, CareerBuilder, as well as our close friend and colleague, Ms. Lori Davila. Lori and I filmed for a number of hours. We prepared detailed footage, information, and facts that will allow individuals who are reviewing the potential of whether the IPA Family career opportunity may provide mutual benefit for both them and their families as well as ours in the career search. We talked about many interesting aspects, possibilities, as well as realities pertaining to what the IPA Family career opportunity is and what in fact it is not.

If you are current member of the IPA Family, then you already have a great feel for the sincerity and genuine care that we have for serving others at the highest levels of professional ethics and integrity. If you are somewhat new to the IPA Family, you are probably just now getting a sense for it. If you are not an IPA Family member at this point, you may just be focusing on whether our team and performance culture is a good fit for you, and rightly so. One of the huge benefits in your consideration and research that our new web community provides, is how easy navigation to “external” third-party sources that can give you validated information about IPA as well as the companies that we represent or our a part of. They range from our accreditation with the Better Business Bureau, the financial strength of the carriers and ratings of A- (Excellent) we represent through the A.M Best rating organization, our parent companies listing (IHC) on the New York Stock Exchange, and many more. The point being, we want to give everyone that is considering us, and us them, credible career sources that are not self generated or pure chat/rant room generated to assist them in their process.

On the flip side, probably the biggest takeaway I had from our filming session yesterday was just the pure injustice someone can inflict on themselves as well as their family when they don’t use sources that are factual and true. While the benefits of the Internet has enhanced all of our lives, I believe we would all agree there are so many items, sites, information, and so on, that we would equally agree is not only damaging to someone in the career search but also just the general morality of what we want ourselves and children to be exposed to. IPA does not, and will not, subscribe or support any form of what we refer to as “Internet graffiti” Simply stated, if it cannot be validated or verified…it doesn’t count!

Is IPA the right career opportunity for everyone that comes across it? Absolutely not! Is every person that comes across the IPA Family career opportunity right for IPA? Absolutely not! We will, however, commit to anyone that may be looking at our opportunity that we will not use any “unverifiable” information that may be out there on someone by any sources that do not validate the information that is provided. We will only use authorized organizations that provide background checks with exact non-biased information.

All of that is said to say this: Regardless of whether you are researching IPA, a competitor of IPA’s, an opportunity or job that is outside of our industry, make a pledge to yourself that you will only use information by sources that you utilize that you are 100 percent certain validates the information that is there or that it allows people to put there. By taking this unwavering personal stand, you will never compromise yourself or your family in your career search and endeavors!

Until next time,

D-
