Here is an alumni of our department looking for people to work for Travelers Insurance: This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking for a great career within a specialty that is going to see a lot of folks retire in the next few years. Obviously that spells job security and advancement to motivated people coming in new over the next couple of years. I am beginning the process of recruiting for my newly created position in Seattle Washington. Optimally I am seeking an individual with about a year of real world work experience but will also consider applicants with work experience while attending college. We insure all types of businesses, including manufacturers, wholesalers, retail stores, hotels, technology companies as well as med tech companies. As a multi-line carrier we provide workers compensation, product liability, property, transportation, employers liability coverage’s to name a few. To do this well, we have the best risk control organization in the industry. Our role is to meet with and conduct risk assessments on the businesses we write or propose to write coverage for. Then if we write the account we can work with them to reduce all types of exposures/losses. (employee injuries, fleet accidents, fires, product liability claims etc.) In my career I have been lucky to have worked with companies like Yahoo, Farmer John Meats, Harris Ranch, Eagle Claw, Nugget Supermarkets just to name a few.
