I did almost exactly that. I was an adjuster and claims examiner at a few companies and made the switch to Business Analysis.. my advice is do it!

Well I took a short course in BA for like 4 months. It was like a bootcamp in the basics. I put it on my resume and started applying. If you can look for those type of positions internally at Zurich it may give you a leg up.. but I def recommend a course or bootcamp as a start. Not required, but learning sql and whatnot will be an eye catcher. Also a biggie, tailoring your resume with your transferable skills for the role u want. Being an adjuster, you already have alot of great skills for other positions, the resume just needs to show that. If you're not up to do it, maybe find a good resume rewriting company.

Is life insurance a priority to anyone at the moment, and if so why is life insurance important to you?

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.
