adrenalinerush Posted December 17 Report Share Posted December 17 ok, I work for an insurance company and it's my first real job as the "trainee". What I do is Auto, general liability claims for fortune 500 companies, I did workers comp for about 6 months till they had staffing issues and moved me over to do auto and etc. Here's the thing I have been going around the company talking to the VP's about their departments after my old supervisor suggested it. I really what to get into underwriting. I talked the 2 VP's in underwriting and during which I mentioned that I was interested in underwriting and they give path advice (CPCU, taken an underwriting postion, degree in insurance) and during the course of our discussion they both mentioned that there was a underwriting asst position opening at beginning of the year. Was that a hint? I should express interest?I do not want to step on anyones toes. One of them ask if claims was aware of interest in underwriting? Workers' comp is but I do not know about auto since no asked. but the fact is that claims is a dead end job and a waste of a finance degree.

You can't knock them entirely. If used correctly, they can be your foot in the door. It's not the route for everyone but it does work. If you settle for "good enough", you will get stuck in a cubbie for 25 years with no one to blame but yourself. It's not the job, it's what you do with opportunities once you get it. good luck...

It's not the job, it's what you do with opportunities once you get it. good luck... exactly what I just said......minus the internships part, they do next to nothing for you except add space to your resumeentry level jobs are just that......entry level jobs. Too many people come out of school with the notion that the job they landed at Chase Manhattan is "a golden opportunity and a great job".......truth is they will just be slaves to corporate america and work for someone else in a go nowhere environment for the rest of their lives if they dont realize that job is to be used and abused and dumped as soon as possible.

adrenalinerush Posted December 17 Author Report Share Posted December 17 Ok, retard. First, learn how to spell have and internship. Second, I did do an internship with Smith Barney. However, I did it in 2001 when I got my degree and they had a hiring freeze (gee I wonder why) and half my office got laid off. 3rd, I need the health insurance so I took the offer.Originally posted by pattbateman ok retard first you haeva finance degree right. you should of not partied so hard and got a inturnship in college (during summer)then you have your foot in door at a good place. the school would of found you one they found me one. now your fucked at a dead end shit job.that sucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
