Focus on highlighting the number of years of experience you have and what areas. Many employers require previous experience in insurance fraud investigations for a governmental agency, a public or private insurance carrier, or a private third-party administrator.

You always want to have the minimum qualifications needed before applying for a job. If the job announcement says the company requires a minimum number of years of experience, avoid saying you have more experience than you do. The interviewer will contact references and determine that you were dishonest in the interview.

"I have worked as an SIU investigator for eight years. I worked for three years with Allstate Insurance as an SIU casualty investigator, investigating first and third-party bodily injury claims. I worked with Florida Peninsula Insurance as an SIU investigator II for the past five years. I was responsible for identifying and facilitating Anti-Fraud Awareness events and creating in-house fraud presentations for in-service staff meetings. Additional responsibilities included attending insurance fraud seminars and other company-sponsored courses and taking that information to create continuing education courses for the agency."
