Industry Advice: I am currently in a Commercial P&C CSR broker position working with manufacturing and staffing clients. I am working towards a promotion within my same team in the near future but an Account Manager position has opened up now in the construction space within our office. Should I voice my interest in the construction AM role even though I have a limited amount of construction experience or wait the six months for the AM position on my current team?

Go ahead and apply!

Apply for it, but make sure it’s known that it’s just because you want to advance your career, not that you’re trying to get away from your current team. It may motivate your current team to promote you, or you may actually find you’re suited for the Construction gig.

Go for it. Construction is a lucrative niche
