Lisa,
I find myself in a similar situation. The seasoned adjusters clearly have good advice here, but I thought I would add my perspective. I attended basic adjuster training with CatManDo whom I highly recommend. It's a first class training program and will also get you on their roster. They also have many other training offerings.
Policy knowledge is very helpful too. I am currently working part-time as a CSR writing policies. It doesn't pay much but gives you good foundation knowledge of policy coverage & exclusions. Even more so, it gives good insight into the challenges and decision making process of the insured

Chris:
How does CatManDo plan to keep your investigative, scoping and report writing skills sharp if you don't see a storm in 2006? They also have clients with daily claims. Do they allow you handle any of those claims or will you have to take refresher courses for the next hurricane season. I'm curious as to how any CAT companies expect their newbies to retain information learned in the past few months if they don't get to use it till next year or beyond.

Take an entry level job with an insurer, work staff daily claims and absorb all the traning you can. After the big one hits land quit your staff job and get IA work. This is the only way to become a good insurance adjuster. All the courses you take will not give you even 10% of what you need. You need staff insurer training and to handle 4 - 6 claims per day full time for 2 or more years to begin your adjusting career...

I could not agree more. This will give you the foundation you need to really have a handle on what this industry is all about. It will be advantageous to you and your future insureds; and with the possibility of El Nino creating few, if any, hurricanes the next year or two, now would be a good time to take that path.
My opinion and two cents.

If things get to slow the companies slow down hiring, and start downsizing all departments it all starts swinging the other direction. Good Luck
