What questions do you have for me?

Having two or three questions ready for the interviewer is always a great idea. Review the company website and other online resources to ensure your questions are not mundane or redundant. The last thing an interviewer wants to hear is a list of items you could have found the answers to from merely watching a video on their company site! Here are a few good questions to consider asking:

1. Ask about the company culture and work environment.

2. Inquire how the interviewer sees the role of a claims adjuster evolving over the next few years.

3. Ask about the training and development opportunities available for employees in this role.

4. Ask the interviewer to provide an example of a challenging claim a previous adjuster had to handle and how they resolved it.

5. Ask what are some of the biggest challenges the claims department faces and how the company is addressing them.

Asking thoughtful questions like these can help you better understand the company and the role and demonstrate your interest and enthusiasm for the position.
