What are things you do outside your job that make you better at your job? And do you bring those things up in interviews? I'm a coach in my off hours and it definitely makes me a better consultant. But I only bring it up if they ask about it.

Drink. It helps me not want to explode. Jk jk. My job isnt bad at all. I do some random research every now and again on new ways of thefts and fire science. If someone checked mt search history they'd have some questions im sure.

Nah, I am sure they would not think you were into burglary or a "fire bug". I can see where your studying could help in the insurance realm.

I spend a ton of time working with AI on personal projects. The more I use it in my personal life, the more proficient I am using it at work. It's saving me a ton of time across the board.

Good point! I did some AI prompt writing for pay awhile back and it definitely helps me now that my company lets us use AI.

I actually took a public speaking class at a local community college to help me learn how to speak in front of people and not be so nervous. It made a big difference in how I communicate. I would definitely say I bring what I learned into interviews.

I agree, that could be resume material.

I think in any sales role what you do on your off hours does really help you if you are doing something out in the community rather than those who just use the off hours to sit around the house.

You mean because the more people you know the easier sales becomes because of increased connections? Or because you're positively representing your company in the community?

I'm getting a doctorate in strategic leadership and have a master's in management and I let everyone know in every interview lol. I also love to learn so I do all kinds of things in my resume. I'm a chair in a local political party. Den leader in cub scouts etc.

Yes, you were lucky to have a mentor like that however, that didn’t happen on accident. It is very, very likely the person they learned from was that type of leader.

Hi all! Is anyone here in Underwriting? Just want some thoughts on this as i’ve recently gotten an offer for an Underwriting Associate position and have never done any salary negotiations before. Does it seem unrealistic for my counter offer to be 12k more than the original offer? Considering that the original offer is roughly 8k less than the market salary. Plus i’m also accounting for wiggle room as i’m not expecting them to actually agree with the full 12k counter offer
