June is the start of what is predicted to be a very busy hurricane season, which means carriers and independent staffing firms soon will need thousands of catastrophe adjusters. Claims spoke with Deborah Ward about resume strategies to employ for those looking to join the ranks.
When reviewing resumes, what do you look for?
Normal resumes don't fit the bill for catastrophe-adjuster selections because the carriers and vendors are very specific to select an independent based on what software the company uses and how many years experience and certifications they prefer their independents to have. Many carriers, such as State Farm where I worked 28 years, require catastrophe certification tests on wind, hail, and estimatics. A good resume will take this into account.
