Underwriting is
a career that requires a lot of focus and concentration to be able to pay
attention to the smallest details. There really is no formal education required
to become an underwriter however many companies prefer candidates to have a
bachelor's degree or professional designation.
It may also be helpful to have
some insurance related experience and strong computer skills. But because an
underwriter’s role and responsibilities can vary depending on the company they
work for, most of the knowledge required to be an underwriter is learned by
hand on job training. Therefore, the majority of underwriters start their jobs
as trainees.
Randi Glazer is an experienced underwriter who has worked for several different
companies before starting her own insurance consulting firm. Other qualifications that make an underwriter
stand out are those who enjoy analyzing information and paying attention to
detail.
An underwriter must possess good judgment so they can make sound
decisions. It is imperative that underwriters have good communications and
interpersonal skills.
This is because much of the underwriter's work involves
dealing with agents and other insurance professionals who may need help understanding
the terms. Another key factor that Randi feels will help to make an underwriter
good at what they do is to continue their education.
Even experienced
underwriters need to continue to learn of the latest changes and trends within
the industry to ensure they are staying within compliance.
