To young people insurance might not immediately appear to be the sexiest career choice.
But new technology advances are pushing insurance right into the 21st Century – and who better to get to grips with it than the newest generation of tech experts?
With the average age of an insurance worker now around 54, this sector is in need of bright young things born between 1991 and 2001 to bring a fresh outlook.
Here are the top reasons why insurance is a great option for Generation Z.
You can talk the talk
Having transferable skills is a trump card when it comes to employability in any sector and working in insurance can help you develop these.
As an adviser, broker or claims handler, you’ll be talking to customers pretty much all of the time, whether in person, over the phone or via emails.
This means you’ll find yourself improving your communication skills and confidence without even realising it.
You can walk the walk
As well as soft skills, there are tangible talents that can be taken into new job worlds. Risk assessment, for example, is a vital part of insurance but having a detailed knowledge of how it works and is managed can also help you progress not only in this sector but in financial services or management.
You’re a hot commodity
Now that Z-Listers are the second largest generation since the baby boomers, companies are targetting the young people of today. With new advances in technology, and people more than happy to purchase insurance online or on their phone, you’re the best of the best when it comes to using software and hardware.
You’re a born salesperson
As so many jobs now involve the ability to advertise and communicate over apps, websites and social media platforms, tech expertise is a desirable talent. Generation Z millennials can help companies change the way they advertise their products – this makes you highly sought after in order to reach out to customers in the most accessible and productive ways possible.
