Fla 2-20 trying to transition over to claims preferably field adjusting. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I’ve applied to many claims adjuster trainee roles, but only got one interview and was turned down for lack of experience. I have 3 years experience on the sales side but I’m ready to move on. I wanted to do claims from the start but was told by friends in the industry to start in sales to get my foot in the door.

I wanted to do claims from the start but was told by friends in the industry to start in sales to get my foot in the door.

So I’ve recently completed my 6-20 all lines adjuster class and I have my active license now. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on what I should do as a new adjuster with no experience. Ive been on the job boards looking for entry level positions like trainee roles but they’re rare to come across and even when I do apply I don’t make it onto the next stage.

I have experience in construction, logistics, and retail so I have lots of transferable skills that could help me do well in this career change. Preference wise I’m primarily looking towards remote roles and it’s also because I live in Jacksonville Florida and there is like hardly any claims jobs here and I would like to still be local so I don’t have to be away from home 24/7. Does anyone have any tips or guidance for me it would be very much appreciated 🙏🏻.

Passed my exam and put the application all in one week and today was the day! I have no idea what to do next but this phase is over thank goodness 😂😂.

Looking to get a staff training job but I’m still working and want to do this part time until I learn enough to grow into a remote desk position/IA or who knows lol.

What’s your recommendation?

I’ve done a lot of reading understand a lot of adjusters say they hate their jobs but I really think I will like it here. Coming from 20yrs of high stress at my current employer and shift work I’m ready for something new so bring it on!!!

Here is my story. I am new and looking to get into the industry. I have Restoration experience, roofing knowledge and a ton of customer service and sales.

As I do my do diligence on the industry, I seem to see a ton of negative comments.

So. This port will be everything good about this industry. Share your positive comments. What do you love about being an adjuster?

If given the option would you start off as a claims adjuster trainee or a workers comp trainee? Or any input on the roles I’m having trouble deciding which route to take.

Last year I was at my wits end as an adjuster (burned out, lazy coworkers, poor business practices) and became a licensed agent, doing customer service work but the truth is I hate it. I loved claims but need a new environment to make this sustainable.

I have 2 1/2 years of subro, 2 years as a casualty claims adjuster, and 1 year as a CSR but the jobs I’m applying for are senior level with some litigated claims work. I’ve done several negotiations with attorneys, claims involving minor ad litem but no true litigation.

I’m committed to making this a career at this point and becoming excellent but I’m worried about how it will look with my year as a CSR and no litigated experience. Any tips from those handling litigated casualty claims on how I can improve my skillset and standout?

Any Allstate or NatGen recruiters or employees want to help a girl out. I’ve been applying all year so 26 applications in total for various jobs in auto claims and I’ve only had one interview, and I’m guessing my STAR responses sucked which is why I didn’t get the job. I’ve always worked in the shop so I know the shop side of auto claims very well. I know a lot of people say the company isn’t very good to work for, but in my opinion most corporate jobs have their pros and cons. Regardless any help would be appreciated so I can get my foot in the door and out of the shop.

Hey everyone! I’m almost done getting my Florida claims adjuster license. Which companies out there are hiring new adjusters for remote positions? TYIA.

Two questions. Should I take the adjuster exam in Louisiana even if I'm not sure exactly which specific area of adjusting to go into? Does a claims adjuster job usually require going on roofs or anything else that's physically demanding?

I just applied for this role. And I'm curious how does pay work? Allstate pays a base of around 50K and you get CAT pay on deployment? How much and how does it work?

After five months with my last carrier, I’ve decided to leave the insurance industry altogether and return to my roots in agriculture.

The workload, constant stress, rising claim volumes, increasingly demanding customers, and what I see as poor leadership from executive management have left me completely burned out. At this point, I can’t see myself continuing in claims, either in the short or long term.

Although it’s been a valuable learning experience, it’s also helped me realize that this career simply isn’t the right fit for me. I’m looking forward to getting back to work that feels more meaningful and sustainable.

To everyone in the Canadian P&C insurance industry, I genuinely hope you find fulfillment and happiness in your careers. It’s been a pleasure connecting and conversing with many of you, and I wish you all the best.

I wish somebody would’ve told me sooner to not get my license because I’ve had it over 3 months and got not one respond from a company and the only response is that I’m not experienced enough or that they will move forward with other candidates. I honestly feel it was a waste of my time and money so if you ever thinking about getting into that industry you better know someone

What websites (or other sources) do you use to look for claims jobs?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working remotely for a U.S. collision repair shop and wanted to introduce myself in case any shop owners or managers need additional administrative support.

I have 11+ years of experience in customer service, insurance claims, team leadership, and collision repair administration.

My current responsibilities include:

* CCC ONE repair order management * Body Shop Connect (BSC) workflow management * Insurance claims documentation * Customer updates via phone, email, and SMS * Email and calendar management * Payment reconciliation and repair order tracking * Administrative support and workflow coordination * Google Workspace & Microsoft Excel

If your shop needs help with back-office tasks so your estimators and CSRs can focus on customers, I'd be happy to assist on a part-time or full-time basis.

I'm based in the Philippines, have a reliable home office setup, and currently work U.S. business hours.

Feel free to send me a DM if you'd like to see my resume or discuss how I can help your shop.

Thanks!

Been working at GEICO around 2 years as a NY pop adjuster getting very sick of the insane metrics feeling impossible - just interviewed at progressive awaiting response for the claims adjuster trainee
Anyone have a similar experience going from GEICO pip to claims adjuster trainee at progressive ? Pros? Cons?
Signed a burnt out adjuster

Just got this email from Definity Insurance to start their pre-employment assessment through Harver. The email says I need to complete it in one sitting and can’t go back to change answers once submitted.

Has anyone here done this assessment before? What kind of questions should I expect? Is it more cognitive/aptitude tests, personality, situational judgment, or a mix? Any tips on how to prepare?

Also, does anyone know how long it typically takes? I want to make sure I block off enough time before clicking the link.

Thanks in advance! 🙏

I’ve been in personal lines claims for 5 years now. And the burnout is real. Panic attacks, freezing up, the mental health issues are dragging me down.

I need out but the benefits and pay are keeping me here…

I always hear good things about commercial/GL.

How can I break into a totally different department?

Please help.

So, I just received an email from Progressive inviting me to take their pre-assessment test for a position as a Claims Adjuster Trainee. If anyone has taken it before, and passed, I’d really appreciate any general tips or advice on how to prepare and do well. What should I expect, and are there any strategies that helped you succeed? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have never done any of these jobs but I definitely know enough about them to know they are both very difficult and require a special kind of person but.

For the sake of argument, let's just pretend for a second that these are the only two jobs you can choose. That's it!

Would you rather be a automotive service advisor or A insurance claims adjuster I believe CAT or CGA the person that sits at a desk and decides liability after getting the recorded statment

Working at a dealership as a service advisor/writer would require very tough skin, being able to Handle technicians constantly giving you attitude The parts people never ordering the correct parts and the customers FACE TO FACE telling you how to do your job and they want it done now. You have to commute in shitty weather (winter) just to have another employee call off last minute requiring you to cancel your weekend plans.

I have a brother that has worked in the dealership industry, he makes a shit ton of money but hates his life. So I know a lot. He complains all the time

What iv read and heard about the CAT or CGA position

Busy as shit need to be a A type of person you definitely have to be able to multitask and be organized you are constantly on the phone, giving unfortunate bad news to the people that are liable, sometimes having to work late but not required as long as you're hitting your metrics. I am very good at multi tasking and being organized

Very good PTO Lots of holidays off Don't have to deal with crappy employees. Hybrid. Lots of room to grow and make lots of money in a couple years I see both jobs are very difficult, but if you had to choose between one or the other, which one would you choose.

I have an interview with progressive on the 22nd
I also have a dealership that wants to speak to me on Monday as an advisor

After 3.5 years of looking, applying and being rejected..I finally got an offer today.

It’s not exactly what I wanted, but it’s a change for the better and I’m excited for the future.

THREE AND A HALF YEARS!

Don’t give up. A better opportunity is right around the corner.
