I don’t care about technical skills. I want a senior that can take a job from start to finish. Able to delegate and keep the team busy. Communicates open items to the client. The technical stuff I can help with. I don’t want to be senioring the engagement.

Hello everyone ,
I’m currently working in insurance customer service at an agency. I work in the mortgage department assisting w mortgage changes , payments etc. I’ve been thinking about becoming a claims adjuster most likely for property damage . Is it worth it ??? I hear a lot of talk about how claims adjusting is a lot of work and very demanding but I think my current position has prepared me for the challenge. What are some good companies I maybe should apply for after getting my license?
