How do I get my foot in the door 3341 0
Started by sahara
Been throwing around the idea of being an adjuster for about 6 months now. The construction side of the business is starting to fill up with a lot of out of towner dirt bags who give away the house. The company I work for requires us to have an exactimate prepared and the roof sketched out before we even meet an adjuster for the claim. It seems to me that I am doing 90 of the work for the adjuster before he even gets to the house. I don't have any problems climbing 2 sto...

Hello all, I have been reading the forum since I first got my license in '08. This is my first topic/question started.
After getting my license I did what all the experienced adjusters advised, however as you all know there was not a lot for the unexperienced to do in 2009, 2010 and I stopped looking as my construction business took most of my time. Then Irene came along and Pilot called for me. I was sent to NY and closed 126 claims in 30 days. From what my A...

Few questions about CAT adjusting for AUTO claims. 5194 7

I currently work for a large insurance company working auto claims. I've done this for 4.5 years and am licensed in all 50 states.
I worked our Internal CAT Unit for 87 days straight this summer. 12 hours a day and 7 days a week. I loved it! Our company decided to create a permanent ICU and I was ready to apply until they decided to open it half way across the country instead of in my office.
Someone suggested I should look into becoming an Independent Auto Adjuster sin...

Hiring practice question 4761 4
Started by m2lip
Hi all -
Got a quick question and I apologize if this is one of those questions that gets brought up a lot on the forum. I ran a search and didn't see anything come up.
When a carrier posts an open position, is it common practice for a hiring manager to not select an applicant who is also a named insured with his/her company
Say Joe Smith is the NI with All State. Would All State not select him for an interview (assuming he meets the requirements and would otherwise be a worthwhile in...

Farm Bureau Tech v. Vale National Which is Better? 12110 5

The summary pretty much is the question.&160; Farm Bureau Tech is $2200 v. Vale $2995.
Farm Bureau is an insurance carrier that trains its own adjusters at their own school as well as other carrier adjusters that do not have an adjuster training school.&160;&160;
Vale is known to train a lot of adjusters and I have heard it has a good reputation,
Big issues for me:
Farm Bureau Tech has only 4-6 students that will likely be attending this school and is an actual carrier training facility....
