From Tahje Cornelius (ACE):

"I received a great opportunity as a new graduate with no experience in the insurance field. Jacobson was willing to take a chance and it turned out great. After only three months of working with this temp agency I was offered a full time position as an associate underwriter. The transition was very simple and it was the start of my career."
