Newly licensed 3816 0
Started by mav1075@gmail.com
Hello, I recently obtained the 6-20 license in Tampa, Florida. I have a full time job (police officer), but would like a part time gig that will eventually lead to full time work when I retire in a few years. Is there anyone in the area that could assist with any mentorship / internship / guidance I am willing to work without pay if anyone is willing to show me the ropes and help me get started. Any information would be appreciated. Thank you

Hello, I am a police offcer in the Tampa Bay area. Given my schedule I only work about half of the month so I was seeking a job I could work the remainder of the time AND that would lead to a reliable source of income when I retire from the PD. I was considering getting into this business.

Flying out from Alask for deployments? 2490 0
Started by Sustra90u
Hi, I'm thinking about becoming a CAT adjuster and I have some questions to ask. I'm hoping to move to Alaska. I was thinking that I could fly in for my deployments and rent a car and ladder. I was told that I could likely have most of my expenses paid off from my taxes. Do you think that would actually work Does anyone do anything like that I'm trying to figure out if there is a economical way that makes sense for me to live in Alaska and fly out for deployments.

Started by Sustra90u
Hi, I'm thinking about becopming becoming a CAT adjuster and I'm trying to learn about the industry. I have some questions to ask about correct expectations that I should have about the industry. I was told that the average deployment for CAT claims is 3 to 4 weeks long and I can expect a total profit after all expenses to be $15-$20k on average. Does this seem accurate or not From what I've heard it seems like it can be difficult to get deployed when you have no experiance. On average...

Adjusters License Prep- study the textbook vs. online class? 3562 1
Started by James1010
Well I bought and read the textbook 'Florida Adjusters Study Manual 27th Edition' and it was a total waste of time and money. The book is out of date and structured and written for someone pursuing their Insurance Agent/Underwriters license. The incredibly confusing writing style of the author made it impossible to successfully understand the material well enough to pass the 100 test questions in the back of the book. Additionally, everything I'm reading online confirms that the Florida State ex...

I'm looking at getting into adjusting and know I need to gain experience. So I acquired my Ga license a few months back and started applying with the big companies.

I had a fellow IA ask me the other day what lines of work are similar to adjusting as he is thinking about how to get out of this business. I scratched my head and really didn't have an answer for him other than anything with customer service and analytical skills. Now that I've had time to sit on it, I am driving myself nutty wondering what would I do if I wasn't doing this. What would any of you suggest to someone wanting to leave this profession
