Tips for Writing the perfect Insurance Job CV A typical part of any application process is submitting a CV. Ideally, these should be tailored specifically to the type of jobs you are applying for, but there are some rules for writing a good CV for any job. If you are currently applying for insurance jobs, here are some tips for writing your next résumé.


1. Read the Job Specification The job specification will outline what is involved in the role and also what they expect from their ideal candidate. Reading this thoroughly should give you some guidance about what to include in your résumé. It will help you to write a CV that outlines any experience, skills and knowledge you have in the insurance industry. The type of role you are applying for may have different specifications, so claims jobs may expect something different to underwriting jobs. Therefore, you should write your CV accordingly.

2. Be Concise A busy employer will not have the time to read through reams of CVs. To some extent, they will just scan the information you have supplied in the résumé to see if you are a good candidate and you meet or exceed the basic minimum requirements of the role. When you are applying for insurance jobs, try to write your CV in a concise a manner as possible.

3. Check spelling and grammar In most jobs, attention to detail and accuracy are important skills and this is especially the case in insurance jobs. A failure to check the spelling and grammar can say a lot more about you than the level of your literacy skills. Mistakes also tell a potential employer that you pay little or no attention to the details and have little concern for accuracy.

3. Check the details Making sure your CV is accurate is essential. Many employers will check out the details you have provided in your résumé, so it is vital that you have provided them with honest information. Checking that you haven’t made a simple typo on your CV can make all the difference between you being offered an interview or your application being thrown into the rejection pile.
