Shelter Property Adjuster
Will more than likely be interviewing in the next week or two. I am retired Army, went to work for a local city as a commercial and residential building, plumbing, and mechanical inspector. I am ready to move into a position with less politics and more integrity.
This is a remote position with a territory of about 2 hours any given direction, that is in rural Appalachia. The adjuster that recently retired received on average one new claim a day.
The last few years of my army career I was a recruiter, that I now regrettably admit I was good at. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and AuDHD. I tend to hyper focus on my jobs in order to gain the most amount of knowledge I can possibly gain. I can handle a lot of stress but what I can’t do it be apart of anything shady or screwing over the vulnerable.
Would this job be a good fit? Is Shelter a respectable company to work for? I use them for my home insurance but USAA for everything else so I have had zero interaction with my agent. The job posting has the pay listed as $23-$33 an hour. Is this typical? I make $30 an hour as an inspector and really don’t want to take a pay cut if I don’t have to. Is it typical to really start out at $23 an hour, is it appropriate to negotiate or will that kill my chances? This will be my first interview for a non govt job. Any tips? Should I wear a suit, I am a female, or something more casual like a cardigan or sweater?
