Hi! My name is Hayden Lassek. I'm from Yutan, Nebraska, and I'm based in the Omaha office for Mutual of Omaha. While in Lincoln, I spent many years in the banking industry, and there's a lot of things I liked about the banking industry. But at the end of my time, a couple of things came up to where I was ready for a change.
When I started my process for looking at some firms to begin my career in financial advising, I looked at multiple companies and even in the beginning, Mutual of Omaha set itself apart. Just in the recruiting process alone. The attention to detail, constant communication, the quick right backs. Whenever I had questions immediately. Mutual of Omaha set itself apart from the competition.
When I was deciding on a firm to start my career, I had a few dealbreakers that I needed to know we're going to be there for me. I needed to know that there would be support around me because this is a difficult career, and I know that I'm definitely going to have a ton of questions. There's a lot to learn, and I need to know that the support is going to be there for me when I need it.
Another thing I needed was up to date technology. This career in this field is changing every single day, and I need to know that the company that's helping me out is going to be up to date on what they can provide. And lastly, the biggest thing for me was one on one coaching. Again, like I said, this career is difficult.
There's a lot that goes into it and there's a lot to learn. So, for me, I wanted to make sure that I would have ample time to be coached, to be trained and for someone to be watching over my shoulder, making sure that I'm helping my clients the right way. One of my favorite aspects of this career is the ability to be in a position to work with people, kneecap to kneecap, be a trusted resource for them to where they have an issue.
They have a problem. They need a solution. I'm the person they come to for that solution. If you're debating whether or not to apply, or is this the right career path for me, I would advise you to submit the application. Speak with our recruiting team. Honestly, they know best if this is going to be a good fit for you.
After talking with you, finding out what you're looking for, they'll be able to tell you if this is the right fit.
