lost my job in November- was there 17yrs I trained our brokers on how to use our rating system to get pricing for their high net worth clients. My competitors don't offer what I did, I'm not licensed so I am really having a hard getting interviews or jobs offers. I have applied for underwriting assistant position and have no problem completing starting over in a new field. It seems that companies don't want to train just want experience. any good recruiters out there?

There’s a website with a good recruiter called insurance nerds. But a regular career coach and resume writer can help as well. Doing the same thing for 17 years you may need help translating your experience into new roles. I’d start there before randomly contacting recruiters they just want to put a square peg in a square hole and get their commission they won’t help with career shifts it’s not their job.

You clearly bring a lot to the table. I’d look for smaller firms or startups that are more open to training, and honestly, LinkedIn can be gold for finding recruiters. Try posting your story there like you did here. People eat that up and share leads.

I totally hear you—it can feel like so many companies want “entry-level” applicants but still expect years of experience and licenses upfront. It’s frustrating, especially when you’re willing to learn and ready to start fresh.

That’s actually what I really appreciated about AO Globe Life. You don’t need to be licensed to apply, and they fully train you and help you get licensed as part of onboarding. No experience in sales or insurance required. It’s 100% remote, no cold calling, no door-to-door, and no lead buying.

If you’re open to a new path where you’re supported from day one, I’d be happy to share more!
