Top CV Tips and Guidelines
This job role puts you at the forefront of the Insurance Company’s operations dealing with complex queries from multiple stakeholders (both internal and external) and therefore demonstrating experience of customer-facing operations or working in a fast-paced environment is a bonus to have.
No Experience? Regardless of applying for the job in the motor, commercial, property or personal industries, you will almost always be required to have some sort of experience in a claim handling environment.
There are a number of things that you can do to address this: a) volunteer for a couple of weeks or more to gain experience in the field, or b) start at the trainee level where no prior work experience is required and built your career up from there.
Attention to detail is an important skill that you may want to consider putting on your CV since you will be dealing with important financial cases which could have a direct impact on the finances and operations of the organisation.
Good Luck!
