Still a student with a claims internship. The state of the economy has me freaking out though. How bad is it right now? I'm trying for underwriting or analyst jobs/internships and it's going nowhere. Sometimes I just wake up to anxiety attacks because of this.
Hi everyone! Started applying for jobs literally since summer of last year and nothing. I'm applying all over the US to internships and entry level. Only insurance related job is the claims one.
Sorry for being a negative nancy. I dropped out of a really good school (Think UMich, UVA level) so not Ivy but highly ranked public, after trying and failing for seven years due to bad grades and bad mental health. I finally enrolled here to get my life back on track and started today. It's hard seeing everyone else in my school do well for themselves and I'm still in school at 25, doing an online undergrad degree. I know it's accredited, I know it's better than me just doing nothing, but I have no job history and no skills. I'm Asian so there's this expectation that I graduate from a good school and get a good job. Right now I've done none of that.
Sorry. I'm a little down right now as the reality of the situation crashed down on me. So many of you had such hard struggles or childhoods and I really admire you all for dealing with that. I had none of those struggles, I think I'm just a mess up.
Hi everyone, finance undergrad student here starting my summer internship in a couple weeks and really freaking out.
I'll be working on stop loss claims but I'm not too sure what that means or what a day in the life will be. Best way to prepare? The hiring manager said to brush up on Excel and get ready for repetitive tasks, which I'm ready to do but anyone have any advice or other general things to know?
Working as a claims intern for the summer, but will graduate next year with a finance degree (from a terrible uni). Want to try my hand at actuarial work but I'm not sure if that is feasible. I have one exam and I like math but all my five of my internship interviews were for claims (none for underwriting or actuary).
This job market is terrible so I'm thinking to become an adjuster then switch since no internship in actuarial and I'm hearing that it's impossible to break in nowadays without one. Is that feasible and any advice?
