GETTING THE JOB

Insurance only looks boring from the outside – people’s eyes glaze over when they hear the word at parties. That’s why it can be helpful to think about the insurance industry as the business of risk. Other industries have to contend with risk, of course. But in insurance, understanding risk and controlling it are the whole purpose. Job candidates who can take that concept and run with it are likely to have an advantage on the competition, particularly at a moment in the nation’s history when risk looks very real and threatening.
