I am new in this business. I am 22 years old and I just went to NCA Group School in Indianapolis and took the Adjuster Rookie school in Feb. I have only worked 1 storm, my point is, is where else should I apply to work at. I have sent resumes to almost every Insurance company trying to get hired for Daily claims but I really enjoyed CAT but the work just has not been there.
any suggestions?
Thanks

Have you thought about working Staff Cat directly for an insurance company? You can contact them directly probably through and employment/careers link from the home page.

Anyone out there know how to go about getting the AllState certifications? Also info on the inland marine course,law1 &2 by correspondence, I have ordered them. Is it a good course? This is the one for CE out of Texas. I know you get out what you put in, I just wondered if they are well prepared. I'll find out for my self in a few days but would like an evaluation by someone who has taken them for learning and not for CE credit.
I have got to find out from Texas Insurance, what, if any certifications count toward CEs. The TDI web page doesn't answer a lot of questions for dummies. |

Newt The Texas Dept of Insurance has a list of approved CE course providers that they will accept . If any of your certifications are listed, they will normaly be accepted but usualy when you take a course that is CE approved they will give you a certificate that will state it is good for Texas CE . Also be sure and check out the new requirements for 2003 CE.

Newt, with regards to your question of the Allstate certification - when I did the Pilot Catastrophe 4 day orientation a number of years ago, the 4th day was devoted to Allstate. A persons presence at the 4th day and the other 3, with successful testing in those first 3 days "gave" a person Allstate "certification". As you may be aware, Pilot does all of Allstate's required cat work, for another year anyway I think.
You may find it worthwhile to "sign up" with Pilot, if for nothing else than the property orientation and testing, to "get a feel" for things, it is held at Ft. Worth at their training center. If it is similar now, you will get an Allstate binder with a sample file etc etc, plus a good collection of other data / material you may find useful. They have this huge warehouse, with almost every conceivable roof type and wall system scaled down - with all kinds of exercises on correct measuring etc; plus computer banks for report and estimate writing simulations and testing etc - a good place to learn a lot or at least a little.
None of the above, with successful completion of it, gives any great hope of work from Pilot, they have a long totem pole of people who have been around quite a while.
Pilot has a pretty good web site, that will lead you to the contacts. Lucy is the Queen Bee for training, and co-ordinates a tight training format for the 4 days. I've heard its free now, but it cost me $35 or so back then, plus accomodations etc, but they have some pretty good rates set up for them at Budget Suites etc close by.
Can you still buy a cup of coffee in your area for $1.00? If so, after you get past all their paperwork and contract, they will send you a $1.00 as consideration for the contract.
Hope this helps. |

| CC,I'm sorry I haven't got back to you on this, My schedule has been full and now I got some time to look to Jan and Feb. I think I may be in San Antone,Tx in Feb for a few days, I can try to get lined out w/pilot around that same period. Then there's CADO Conference and I sure don't want to miss that. Ihanks for the info I had it in back of my mind . My schedule is not one for the seniors, I feel my age on some of these long runs. I can still knock out a thousand mile trip without a lay over. Since I traded the Lincoln off for a Taurus the trips provide a little more excersize, even more if I take the pickup. Dallas would give me a chance to visit my Grand- daughters. I have a cousin living just North of San Antone, I grew up with him. Merry Christmas and remember the reason for the season. Belated thanks..... |

| Anyone have any advice on how to get a position as a CAT adjuster and how to negotiate salary once they make you an offer? I have a SC adjuster's license that is reciprocal to most other states and my experience is personal auto (standard, non-standard) and SIU. And I have only been in this industry for a year. Does being bilingual help? (Spanish/English). Thanks!! |

Angela, it appears from your request that you are looking for a staff adjuster position. Salary is paid to staff adjusters, CAT adjusters are paid by the claim. Your admitted lack of experience in property adjusting would confine you to working automotive CAT's such as hail storms. If you are interested in automotive CAT's, I would suggest you contact any one of the large adjusting vendors who handle these claims. Without more experience in property, you should not set your sights on a property CAT adjusting position. being bilingual is always a plus when applying for any adjuster position. Good luck.
