1 Insurance Terminology

One of the first things you need to do is to familiarize yourself with the common terms and concepts used in the insurance industry. You don't want to be caught off guard by a question that involves a technical term or an acronym that you don't know. There are many online glossaries and dictionaries that can help you learn the meaning and usage of insurance terminology. For example, you can check out the Insurance Information Institute's glossary, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' terms and definitions, or the Investopedia's insurance dictionary. You can also use flashcards or quizzes to test your knowledge and recall.

When I was preparing for my interview, I recalled looking up the value chain and business of brokers, insurance, reinsurance, and Lloyd's. Also worth noting is that the nature of business between L&H, P&C and speciality lines are slightly different; the underwriting and risk profiling vary.

Aconsejo un enfoque progresivo en el aprendizaje de la terminología de seguros. Comenzar especializándose en un área específica, como las pólizas de empresa, es clave para construir una base sólida. Una vez dominados estos términos, seguir con otros tipos de seguros. Así aseguramos la integración de nuevos conceptos. Con el tiempo, este enfoque permite acumular un conocimiento amplio y profundo, esencial para progresar y adaptarse en el sector de seguros. Sobre todo, recomiendo leer muchas pólizas de seguros de distintas compa?ías. Esto te dará una visión global de los conceptos utilizados en los seguros, ampliando tu comprensión del mercado y fortaleciendo tu capacidad para proporcionar asesoramiento efectivo y preciso.

Depending on the position, you might need to demonstrate your proficiency in areas such as sales, underwriting, claims, risk management, customer service, or data analysis. You should review the job description carefully and identify the key responsibilities and requirements of the role. You should also research the skills and competencies that are relevant and valued in the insurance industry, such as communication, problem-solving, teamwork, ethics, or attention to detail.

Recomiendo la importancia de ejemplos prácticos y experiencias personales durante la entrevista. Si has trabajado la gestión de reclamaciones, prepara anécdotas sobre situaciones que hayas manejado y cómo tus acciones condujeron a soluciones efectivas. O si te has preparado análisis de datos, discute cómo tu trabajo anterior ha mejorado procesos o decisiones. Otro aspecto valioso es demostrar conocimiento actualizado sobre tendencias de la industria y cómo pueden impactar en el puesto. Mantenerse informado sobre los desarrollos recientes en insurtech, puede ser un gran plus, mostrando tu compromiso y perspectiva proactiva.

The company values and mission, does the brand resonate with you and has it been consistent throughout inward and outward communication. Some background check on the leadership team and the corporate culture within the organisation is also crucial, the industry is not known to have high turnover rates.

Zur Vorbereitung auf ein Versicherungsgespr?ch mit Bestandskunden ist es, die jeweils aktuelle Vertragsgestaltung der Kunden zu kennen. Wer seine Kundendatenbank mit sog. weichen Merkmalen pflegt, kann daraus Handlungsempfehlungen ableiten, oder Versorgungslücken erkennen. Zum Gespr?ch selber sollten man dafür sorgen, ungest?rt zu sein. Wenn das Gespr?ch in den eigenen R?umlichkeiten stattfindet, sorgen Sie für Ordnung und stellen sicher, dass eine angenehme Atmosph?re herrscht. Im Gespr?ch selber, führen sie moderat durch das Thema mit gezielten Fragen. H?ren Sie aufmerksam zu und hinterfragen Sie get?tigte Aussagen. Bewerten Sie nicht, sondern analysieren Sie. Erst die Ergebnisse der Analyse führt Sie gemeinsam zu L?sungsans?tzen.
