Season 1, Episode 1 - What To Expect As A "New" Adjuster

[@1208Shell]

Good interview, thanks to both gentlemen for being transparent. Wishing you success 🎉

[@danielleward4533]

I've been hearing so many great things about CNC. I've been trying to get a deployment but nothing as of yet. I'm on the roster as well as Stand-By. Hopefully someone sees this from CNC and this post makes working with CNC possible. I've called and left several vms. Just waiting for that chance. Give me a chance CNC - you won't regret it, I promise.

Hi Danielle! Thanks for reaching out! We'll definitely contact you if we have something that is right for you.

Awesome video. I'm a truck driver looking onto becoming an aduster. As a beginner, should I work from home starting out, before working in the field? Also, I have no construction experience. Should I start with Auto adjusting?

[@CNCCatastropheNationalClaims]

Many people start with auto, so it's not a bad idea! And you'll likely need to be in person with a firm before you can work 100% remotely.

This was very helpful content as a newly licensed adjuster in Texas so far. I have some experience in real estate as in taking photos interior and exterior and submitting reports at the deadline. I have some knowledge on Xactimate. I’m getting my Xactimate certification soon for level 1 and 2. If you guys need help, I would love the opportunity!

[@CNCCatastropheNationalClaims]

Thanks for your kind words! We recommend you submit an application on our website to join our roster and then follow up with HR at 800-843-0170 opt. 4 to confirm your profile is complete!

As a new IA , do you get deployed alone or as a crew ?

[@CNCCatastropheNationalClaims]

As an IA, you are usually deployed to perform inspections independently unless you are deployed specifically as a team (many husband/wife pairs deploy together or a mentor with a mentee).

What if you’re deployed as a desk adjuster, what purpose would you need to take your car?

[@CNCCatastropheNationalClaims]

In this case, this advice is for a field adjuster! Field adjusters have to travel with their own tools so that's why a vehicle is neccesary for them. We do have another video in this series that's focused on desk adjusters if you'd like to check it out!

[@briann9336]

It was mentioned that an adjuster can be deployed for months. Is finding somewhere to stay solely the responsibility of the adjuster or is there some assistance involved?

[@CNCCatastropheNationalClaims]

For an independent adjuster, it would be the adjuster's responsibility.

Inspiring

[@jackiefezzia5509]

I’m new to becoming an adjuster-Desk-adjuster. Remotely. Can you share any information about how to get in.

[@CNCCatastropheNationalClaims]

Continue to call firms and check for availability! Additional certifications like Xactimate Training or Carrier Specific Training can also improve your chances. You can also make sure your profile is complete with CNC. AdjusterPro also has some great resources!

[@brandfactorymedia]

Do they have social media?

[@TonyJrFlemmings]

I am a automotive technician and I am interested in becoming an automotive adjuster. What are the criteria to become an automotive adjuster ?

[@CNCCatastropheNationalClaims]

An adjusting license in the state(s) you wish to work in (if required), a carrier certification for the carriers you may be working with (if required), and some training always helps!

[@marcuscalderon7092]

Don't you have to work for a firm for 2 years before you can get your license? How do you get into the field?

[@CNCCatastropheNationalClaims]

To get your license to work property or auto claims, you usually just need to pass the licensing test (if there is one), pay the fee, and complete any state specific requirements (like fingerprinting where required). Working with a firm isn't a requirement to get your license. To work NFIP flood claims you need 5 years of experience as a licensed adjuster and an NFIP certification.
