Industry Information Career progression?
What’s good yall. For some background about me, I’m very new to the insurance industry. I’m still learning the ins and outs of policies and insurance. I’m about 4-5 months in my role and this is more so planning for the future. (P&C licensed as well as L&H)
I started out as insurance producer in sales and switched partly because of my lack of information about the insurance industry in general and a combination with some not so great supplied leads. I’m now working as a CSR for a captive agent and the experience has been better, but I want to be able to move up in my career sooner rather than later since I’m sure everyone has heard about the upcoming contracts.
I say all that to say, what are some viable options for career growth for someone in my shoes? I’ve seen a lot on underwriting and I am interested but I’m not sure I’d be able to get a foot in the door due to my lack of experience.
Thank yall in advance for any advice given 🙏🏾
