I’m waiting for my background check as I accepted an offer for Remote Licensed Insurance Customer Service Rep. While I’m a 1099 for my current role, I still haven’t told them I am leaving for a full time role that can change my life. It’s a small agency, and I’ve gotten close with the director. She’s the employment reference I gave; I’m a nervous that when they receive the call to verify employment, my days will be difficult. I’d hate to be let go before I start with LM. Thoughts?

I recently got an underwriter position. Worked as commercial line AE for 4 years. Licensed in P&C, Life and Health as well. On top of that I also got CPCU and ARM designations. My advise is maybe apply for UA and entry level underwriter position. Designations helps but not a must.
I agree - look for an entry level position. Most companies want you to have a degree or at least 4 years of relevant experience. Designations add additional credibility and a baseline of knowledge. Most carriers offer pretty good training programs and there is a lot to learn - appetite, systems, processes, marketing, etc.
Do you have a degree? What about a CPCU?
No to both questions.
Unfortunately most companies do required at least a degree. I don’t have CPCU but I’m licensed in Life & Health because must consulting firms require it. I’m with a large carrier and my position prefer CPCU but not required.
If you’re still with State Farm, talk to you manager about your aspirations. Ask for a mentor or job shadow in underwriting department. Then you can ask what are the requirements to get into underwriting.
