Drpooplol 05/18/21 10:58:44 AM #1:	and I'm MEGA nervous for it. It's for a life insurance underwriting manager role. Normally I'm very confident in interviews because I'm good at what I do, very knowledgeable about my area, and am highly personable. However there is going to be an hour long section with a medical doctor quizzing me on medical conditions and the whatnot, which I don't have much history in. I've been in accounting/finance my whole career and this is branching out a bit. Time to study some anatomy and mortality statistics! --- "Or do you want to know more about my vagina?"

I work for a life insurance underwriting department (I'm a financial consultant)!

E_S_M_Z 05/18/21 1:27:41 PM #12:	Good luck man! This might be classically silly advice, but if you're nervous, practice in front of the mirror. It really does calm your nerves. While you're in front of the mirror, rehearse a couple things to say if you don't know an answer.

Drpooplol 05/18/21 1:54:56 PM #18:	matchboxsantana posted... what do you have to know to get hired as an insurance underwriter? Nothing pretty much! I'm in a different position, but I have plenty of insight. Most insurance companies only want a 4 year degree or prior insurance experience of any sort. I know people who were hired with finance degrees, life science degrees, political science, chemistry, English, etc. A lot of companies will hire like 10 people at a time and put them in a classroom for like 10 weeks to teach them the basics. There are a lot of different types of insurance underwriting you can do as well: life, health, property and casualty, group life, mortgage, and more! It's a great start to a career. Automation will be a concern in the future, but it's a good-paying first step into a lucrative industry for a lot of people with different backgrounds. --- "Or do you want to know more about my vagina?"
