I worked as an independent claims adjuster during catastrophes and daily claims during the rest of the year. While on assignment in Virginia I wrote in excess of a million dollars in claims in forty seven days. Most of my claims experience has been in the field but I also worked in a call center environment. I have handled claims involving wind, hail, fire, and water damage. I work with customers at the worst possible time right after something bad has happened in their lives. This requires great customer service skills. I have been asked to settle many difficult claims because I have the ability to diffuse situations and still abide by guidelines. Working in the field under no supervision sometimes requires being able to make independent decisions under stressful conditions based on the guidelines. I work well with others as a team but also have the skills and ability to work independently.
