Life insurance company Liberty National has opened three new offices in the Charlotte area – and is hiring 300 workers to staff them.

The century-old company, a subsidiary of the Texas-based Torchmark Corp., is holding a job fair July 15 at Embassy Suites, 4800 S. Tryon St.

Liberty National has been expanding nationwide for about three years. It now has more than 205 offices and 8,000 full-time representatives in cities across the country.

About the interviews: They will take place at 9 a.m., noon, 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. for positions in the company's Charlotte north, Charlotte central and Rock Hill, S.C., branches. Professional dress is suggested. Company officials plan to fill all positions next week.

About the jobs: Liberty National plans to hire about 100 sales agents and sales managers at each branch initially, with the possibility of expanding more in the future. Experience is not necessary, as the company offers training, officials said.

Pay/benefits: The company offers medical insurance, a retirement plan and other benefits. The average commission income for a Liberty National representative that had been with the company a year in 2008 was about $62,000.

Other interview times: Job-seekers who cannot attend the job fair should call 704-841-4014 for the north Charlotte branch, 704-321-2752 for the central Charlotte branch and 803-980-1444 for the Rock Hill branch to schedule another interview time. Details: www.libnat.com/LNLRecruiting.
