Back Into Insurance
Posted: Wed Jan 11, 2012 11:51 am
Back in 2008 I decided to step out of the insurance arena & go into ministry. It's been a good run but I have kids going to college soon & need to start funding the 401k again so I'm looking to get back into the insurance industry.
I'm doing okay at getting interviews but can't seem to land any offers. I have 15 years of experience both on the agency & company side. I started with Farmers (yup, one of the many who has left FIG) & also worked at a large independent agency. I've sold auto, home, life, long term care and small & medium commercial accounts.
As an underwriter (Hartford) I specialized in technology for middle market & also wrote a lot of general risks in small commercial - contractors, manufacturing, retail, real estate, schools, etc.
I have the AU designation and have kept up my CIC at my own expense thinking I might need it again someday. Anyone have any ideas? I'm trying Hartford but the HR people keep changing & nothing going on there yet. Near Seattle now, would prefer to be back in Chicago but am open to right opportunity almost anywhere.
Thanks,
Kevin Rasmussen AU, CIC
