I have seen many posts speak to what qualifications it takes to be a Seasoned Professional Adjuster. If you guys could spare a minute and tell what would disqualify someone from being able to enter this industry and be successful ( basically who should not think about entering this industry)

I'll be first.....I've used the term "seasoned adjuster" from time to time on here. In general what I've meant is I'm getting a bit grey.
Seriously, I'd say that a person who feels they can't operate under situations wherein things are coming at them from all directions, and they have to make snap decisions regarding complex matters, maybe they should consider not electing a cat. adjusting job.
There are some people who just work much better and more productive under a structure and disciplined work place, nothing wrong with that, it's just how they work to their max. This types of people would not fair well in a storm situation.
Hope this helps a bit. |

Someone who is not willing to work 16 hours a day for the first month (at least) of any storm.
Someone who does not have a family or network of friends to support them and theirs back home.
Someone who is mentally unstable.
Someone who has no compassion.
Someone who is not internally motivated.
Someone who can not easily adjust to new and rapidly changing situations.
Someone with medical problems.**
**Being morbidly obese can make this job very difficult as can severe allergies that can not be controlled with medication. That being said, there are many overweight adjusters (it is almost a hazard of the job) who do just fine. And I have also run across an adjuster who lost both of his arms somehow (don't know him, just saw him in the office one day) and is reported to be very good at his job.
I'll think of more, but of the adjusters I've known who have had to stop working cat, these have been the prime causes.

Greetings,
I'd like to become a newbie myself... having worked storms before, as a contractor, I'll be there for Isabel. Realizing there's dues to pay, I'm willing to give a couple pounds of flesh and more.... So... if I can be of service to anyone, in any capacity, just let me know.
Regards,
Jim Szczesny
