My first tip, to anybody looking to join the insurance industry, is
building up a good network. Essentially, at some point, you know you're
going to need to pass your CV on to someone who you hope will be able to
get you that ideal job that you want, and the more people you know in the
industry, the much better chance you have of eventually getting that job.
My second tip is speak to everyone like they're your boss. You never know
who you're going to meet. I was in the lift one day, chatting to a lovely
chap, and I didn't even realize he was the CEO of our company.
My third tip is research. Whatever ideal job you want, whatever you're
passionate about, you need to know something about it. Eventually you're
going to have to have a conversation with someone and prove to them that
you could do well in the industry. So yeah, get on the Internet, Google
everything. Do all your background research, and that's going to help you
push to get that job you want.
