Have you obtained any Insurance-related certifications or licenses?
Some positions within Progressive will require you to hold special certification or licensing. These requirements may be different depending on the state that you are working in. Review the job description thoroughly and talk to the interviewer about any additional certifications you currently hold or will shortly.
"In 2009, I completed my Certificate in General Insurance through the Insurance Institute of America (IIA). I am currently completing my Associate in Insurance Services (AIS) certificate. Are there any additional certificates or licenses required to work in this role?"
"I am new to this industry and recently completed the Insurance Claims Training Course through FEMA. Are there any courses that you suggest I take immediately? I want to be prepared for career growth at Progressive."

Insurance, to me, is a new field of work. I have been in retail for the past 14 years. With that being said, I have excelled well in retail, and I'm excited to bring that same eagerness to a new career. I'm willing to get any license that is needed to be successful in my new role.
