lori,
Thanks that's what I plan on doing, it seems like it would take some time but I'm willing to do it since I will be working for my dad doing estimates. But how will I go about applying for this position? What are they looking for in an employee? And what are the requirements?
Thanks
Jonathan |

I'd just check on sites like monster, and then I'd go to individual carriers sites, check their 'career' sections, to see what openings there are and apply for any I thought I'd like.
Most claims dept, will require a drug test, FBI background check, and a driving record...They want people that are honest, and hardworking...same as with any employer I suppose.

Does that mean that if you have tickets in your driving record you might lose the opportunity to become a claim adjuster? |

would depend on the company, how many, and how fast...most would let a speeding ticket or two go...but a history of same, and way over the speed limit could certainly hurt you...'if' you'll be driving a company car, (either one assigned to you only or a pool car)...your driving record is very important to them, when they are insuring you, accepting all the risk by giving you a car to drive..

I think Jonathon that the insurer would associate associate it with recklessness and irresponsible behavior. The company would look for the quality of sincerity in an adjuster who would be able to make a wise decision at the event of loss to protect the interest of both the company and the claimant.

Those won't affect you getting hired, as say in a CSR postion, or clerk etc...to work your way up (since you don't have a degree) those positions don't drive company cars...by the time you've been with a company long enough to be promoted you'll have that driving record all cleaned up...won't you son?
