    I am just bringing this topic up again from years past. The tropics are gertting active and there is a legitimate chance of  the first hurricane ( landfall) in the next week to 10 days. As always there are new vendors and new oppurtunities. To all of the greenhorns find out some important details upfront.

    1. Fee shedule ( get a copy )

    2. Pay period ( bi - weekly or when the carrer pays )

    3. Zip code assignments ( beleive it or not there are some vendors disorganized enough to have you all over the map)

    4. Support ( if you are a newbie you will need a good cat manager)

    Good luck and hang in there!

    Thanks Mark hoping this is a safe storm season for all. Just hoping with me being at the bottom of the pile I will get the chance to be quality adjuster like some of these old salts I see posting daily.

    This would be a good time for the people who have never been on a storm to see what a good file looks like. Ask the vendor to send you a couple of sample files and do some practice files from home.. Practice on your own home if you have software booted up. I have not used x-mate in years, but I would memorize as many of the codes by making out a list of the 50 most used codes on roof and interior damage.

    Ray,

    If a newbie knows someone that is an Xmate power user, there is a button you can push in Xmate and it will give you a list of the most commonly used codes in the last (insert number here) appraisals that have been written.

    Also newbies, remember one thing, adjusters write damage appraisals, contractors write estimates.
