Underwriting Opportunity in Indianapolis

Reflecting on my journey as a claims specialist: A lot of years in the claims domain, I'm contemplating a shift to quality assurance, underwriting, and risk management roles. I'm torn between applying internally and discussing it with my manager or exploring external opportunities to avoid conflicts. The current job market's tough, especially without direct experience in a new role or a saving grace for a referral. #ItsNotAlwaysWhatYouKnow #ItsWhoYouKnow Seeking advice (or referrals😄) on the best approach during this pivotal moment in my career. #CareerTransition #QualityAssurance #CareerAdvice #RiskManagement #underwriting

Great Opportunities

I get requests everyday for a "quick chat" or to just "pick my brain". While I'd love to help everyone, there simply aren't enough hours in the day. A few months ago, I created a Career Navigation call service. You can book them thru my website (I'll link below). 45 minute calls about whatever you need help with. I limit them to 3 a week. If you want feedback on your resume or LI profile, want to discuss what "a day in the life of" an underwriter, field rep, producer, etc looks like, or where/how to search for these kinds of roles, this is for you. I don't do these for the money. I charge a small fee simply to weed out the less serious, to be sure people are mindful of my time. And, if by some chance I end up placing you in a new position, I refund you. 🤗 #careernavigation #recruiterlife #insurancecareer #nextsteps #letschat #underwriter #producer #accountmanager #cic #cisr #cpcu #opportunityisknocking #navigation #guidance #insurance #insurancejobs #mentor #insurancementor
