Insurance Adjustor

This is a pretty wide-open field—for every type of insurance, there’s a type of Insurance Adjustor. However, the most common areas in the field include auto, health, home, and life. Each area has its own set of rules and requirements, but generally, an Insurance Adjustor’s job is to determine how much money, if any, an insurance company will pay to resolve a claim made against it.

As an Insurance Adjustor, you work either out on the field or in the office. If you’re an active person who doesn’t like being cooped up inside, then you’re best suited for those positions that require investigation outside of the office. These positions usually involve claims dealing with vehicle damage, home damage, and injuries on the job. On the other hand, desk huggers will do better in those positions that deal more with paperwork and phone calls. Wherever you decide to focus on though, your job will require that you have excellent research, analysis, computer, negotiation, and writing skills.

You walk the fine line between ensuring that your company pays out as little as possible on claims, and treating claimants fairly. If you’re someone who’s used to haggling with Merchants over pennies, chances are you’ll excel in this field.
