1. What industry did you work in?
Property and Casualty Insurance
2. What was your title?
Sales Producer, Adjuster, Underwriter
3. What type of work are you seeking now?
If anyone knows of anyone to network with in the Phila area who works in both Property and Casualty insurance and mutual fund industries, please let me know. I'm not seeking to speak with independent insurance agents. I'd like to speak with anyone in Underwriting, Claims and Mutual Funds who works within a corporate HQ.
4. Do you apply for jobs in your field AND outside your field?
Yes, I do. I am also open to learning about mutual funds.
5. How can this forum assist you?
Sharing referrals and information. Does anyone meet for early morning coffee to share ideas? If someone is new to the area, how would you suggest developing direct contacts (other than LinkedIn) within these industries?
6. If you've been out of work for awhile, how long has it been, and what have you been doing while looking for work?
2 years. I've volunteered, consulted, and recently moved to Phila area.
7. If you can't get the job that you desire right now, what type of work are you willing to do...or are you doing right now to bring in income?
Entry-level in insurance and/or mutual funds. In the interim, I can work in administration in any office environment. Still looking to find work.
