 | I have bachelors degrees in risk mgmt/insurance and Banking. I also have an associates degree in economics. I am fresh out of college and just looking at some options. I could go the banking direction but i find insurance a little more interesting. I would like to be an insurance underwriter instead of an agent because agents tend to work on commission and i really dont want that right out of college. So what are my chances of landing an underwriting job straight out of college? Thanks

| I currently work in logistics, import/export stuff and am thinking about a job change. I’ve been doing this for about a year so it’s not a huge career change for me, but I’d like to apply for other jobs requiring a similar skill set. So far I have come up with insurance underwriting as a possibility, but can’t think of much else. Any recommendation would be appreciated. I’m young too so I don’t have tons of experience.

| I'm about to graduate with a B.Sc. in Math, and was wondering what I should do if I wanted to qualify for an entry level P&C underwriting job. Is taking CPCU exams a good way to show my commitment to the profession or is one expected to take those after getting a job?

 | Although my underwriting certificate will be completed two years from now, I am looking to gain experience within the sector. Could anyone tell me what kind of job positions a beginner in insurance should be applying for? I'm inclined to think that these are appropriate: "Underwriting assistant", "Junior Underwriter"...but I haven't been able to find any others.

Wouldn't this just raise unemployment?

| For example, at a company like Chubb Group of Insurance Companies. I see Chubb Underwriting Associate positions on job websites, but I can't find an actual job description. Also, what does the "Associate" part of the title denote? And the "Senior Specialty?"

 | I have a pre existing mental illness that is controlled very well with medication, and I am a productve, very educated, young member of society and otherwise healthy person, and NO insurance will cover me.
What do I do? Should I just lie and hope that they don't find out (or research into my medical file)? It has been over a year since my diagnosis and treatment. Why do they still refuse me and is there anything I can do to change that? How long will it be until that will be "erased" from my permanent record?

| I always thought that insurance underwriters in general analyze risk and assign appropriate premiums for that risk coverage but I have seen some positions (mainly P & C underwriting positions) where there is sales involved.
Casey Y. - thanks for the response; quick follow up question so then is all "sales" done with insurance agents and not retail customers

| I am currently looking for a position as insurance underwriter and, I admit, my job search skills do not amount to much more than sending resumes to advertised positions online, such as on Indeed or CareerBuilder.
I would like to take a more proactive approach, such as finding the heads of underwriting departments at insurance companies and emailing them directly.
The question is, how would I go about doing that? Do I just look up insurance companies in the Yellow Pages, then call every single one and ask for the underwriting department head's email? How would you go about compiling a list of target companies?
