What I found helpful in creating keywords on the rez is to search for the jobs you want and identify pertinent keywords in the job description that you can incorporate in your resume. Another suggestion-find someone on linked in who has that role and pick their brain about their job-people love to talk about what they do well. Good luck
This is it. Pull key words out of job descriptions from where you want to go. That will help you get past the HR bots that now automatically sort through resumes. That’s the first half of the battle.
Next thing is to find either an assignment or training that points towards what you’re trying to become. Show that this is an intentional move and not just something you’re applying to on a whim.
Good luck!!
Look at carrier rep or wholesaler jobs. I was at an agency for 20 years and was able to get many carrier interviews, not as an Underwritters but in sales.
Definitely describe your current role in a way where it would be useful as an underwriter. Dependent on carrier, they may hire as a uw tech or processor and then promote if you’re good in the role.
I am 100% ok with getting my foot in the door and working my way up!
Based on what I hear from my broker network (in Canada, but may be similar in the US): the demographic change with boomers retiring and insurers not having invested in underwriting talent for the past 2 decades, there is a significant gap for well-rounded underwriters. I would definitely encourage you to speak to a wide range of leaders managing underwriting teams to understand their pain points and long-term concerns. If their feedback sounds like something you'd like to re-skill/pivot into, there's a mutual match. Specifically for key word searches, look up free resources like jobscan.co. All the best!
