How to land the "big job" in insurance

Hard work and dedication are big inputs to landing the Big job.  Without the appropriate experience and credentials it is tough to keep moving up the ladder.

While you are working your tail off in the office, insurance recruiters are working their tail off finding the big salary and title opportunities.  These leads are tough to find on your own but insurance recruiters have a network of HR, management and other connections that help them identity leads.

InsuranceShark recommends you stay close and well connected with insurance recruiters for many reasons.  First they know who's hiring, they know who's looking to leave and they know the names and reputations of top talent and hiring managers.  

If you are looking for a new career in insurance these valuable resources as well as InsuranceShark's recommendations will be valuable resources.  

If you are already in insurance, recruiters will help you find the next level role, transition to new positions, move to reinsurance, prepare for interviews and help you with any advice for your resume. Our experience with recruiters is that they will also give honest feedback on positions you are over or under qualified.  

Always keep in mind your purpose statement, personal goals, your principles and the things you are looking for in your life/career.  Sometimes the offer of a 20% increase in base pay can blind you from what you are really looking for in your life.   If you make a jump for money alone, you may be on the job hunt again within a year or two.  Not ideal.  

Always stay in touch with previous recruiters who have helped place you in prior jobs, as they are a great resource for opportunities down the road.  For future talent or any waves in your career.
