The breadth of the insurance sector means that there is likely a role that suits your interests and many opportunities for personnel development. For example, you could be an underwriter, evaluating the level of risk faced by a client and pricing the insurance offered appropriately.

A different perspective on the sector can be found in handling claims, where you will be working with policy holders to ensure they receive an appropriate pay-out when they make an insurance claim.

As a public facing industry, insurance companies place great importance on customer support, working with people looking to purchase an insurance policy, or with policy holders who wish to make a claim, to ensure they receive the package that suits them. Insurance products are by their nature complex, so great value is placed on customer service reps who can walk customers through the details in an accessible manner.
