I need advice on what and which steps to take to get off the ground.  First off my experience.  I'm 53 yrs. old, owned a building and development company for 27 yrs for residential and light commercial projects, built and owned multi family apartment buildings, hold a degree in Civil Construction/Engineering, Sold life insurance and annuities, elected to public office, started and owned a food concession business for eight years and did Public property adjusting under another adjuster. Presently I have a start up home inspection business and a member of Internachi in which I obtained many certifications such as lead, mold, radon, log home.

I have just got my home state adjusters license and Xactimate certification through Adjuster Pro.  I plan now on getting out resume's to as many firms as I can.  My next step is to get the State Farm certification once I get on the rosters.  

What would be a good next step?  Is there any adjuster training coarse on protocol?  Ideally I would like to be an independent doing daily claims if that's possible.  And have the opportunity to do CAT if they arise.  I have no problem traveling across the country and have a place in N.C, and NYS.   I live in North Western Montana right now and seem to feel that this may be a possibility here due to the fact it's not financially feasible to have claims offices here or staff adjusters?
