Subject How we ended up as adjusters
Body Wanted to see how people ended up in this field as I have never met anyone who said " I want to be an adjuster when I grow up". I'll start. I put myself thru college by doing construction between semesters. I was majoring in pre-law. After college I needed a job & went on a ton of interviews. Only one person gave me a glimmer of hope, so I bugged the heck out of him. He stopped taking my calls & several months went by. During this I was working in a cafeteria with my 4 year degree. One day he called me & said I have good news, you can get the job, BUT I need to know if you will take it within the next 8 hours. If you take it, you leave for 4 weeks of training in Georgia. Well, I quit the cafeteria & here I am 15 years later. Bounced around for a few years between mom & pops & figured I was getting used to help the companies play catch up when they got busy, but they would lay me off when the work was caught up. I continued freelancing & found some names of cat companies & sent out my resumes.As soon as someone gave me that all familiar glimmer, I hounded them like no tomorrow. On my 1st storm, I was one of 300 adjusters & made sure I was in the top 10 closers by the time it was over. My construction experience& pre-law education seems to have been a good fit. I get a little of both worlds with the adjusting. OK everyone, now it is your turn.
