In the world of insurance adjusting, your resume isn’t just a piece of paper — it’s your ticket to deployment. Whether you’re brand new or trying to level up, knowing what staffing firms and carriers want to see on your adjuster resume is key to landing more work, faster.
At MileHigh Adjusters Houston, we don’t just train you to inspect and estimate. We help you present yourself like a pro, so firms take notice. Here’s what you need to include — and how to stand out in a competitive field.
📌 1. Start With a Strong Summary
Your resume should begin with a short, professional summary that highlights your experience level, licenses, and strengths.
✅ Example:
Licensed independent adjuster with experience in wind, hail, and flood claims. Proficient in Xactimate and Matterport, with a strong record of timely file submission and customer satisfaction.
This tells firms exactly what you bring to the table — fast.
🧰 2. Showcase Relevant Experience
If you’ve worked claims before, list deployments or assignments clearly, including:
- Firm or carrier name
- Type of claims (property, auto, flood, etc.)
- CAT or daily
- Number of claims handled
- Tools used (Xactimate, Symbility, etc.)
✅ Example:
AllCat Claims – Hurricane Ian CAT Deployment (2022)
Handled 125 residential wind claims using Xactimate X1. Managed inspections, scope documentation, and full estimate writing. 95% file acceptance on first submission.
🛑 Don’t: Just write “Independent Adjuster, 2022–2023.” That doesn’t tell hiring managers anything.
🎓 3. Highlight Your Training
Even if you haven’t been deployed yet, show your commitment through professional training and certifications.
✅ Include:
- Adjuster Boot Camp (like MHAH’s hands-on training)
- Xactimate Certification
- HAAG Roofing Inspector Certification
- Carrier Certifications (Pilot, Eberl, State Farm, Allstate, etc.)
MileHigh Adjusters Houston – Adjuster Boot Camp (May 2024)
Completed hands-on Xactimate training, mock claims, scoping, and deployment readiness program.
This tells firms: You’re not just licensed — you’re trained and ready.
🧾 4. List Licenses Clearly
Adjusting is a license-driven industry. Put your active licenses near the top, especially major CAT states.
✅ Example:
Licenses:
Texas All-Lines Adjuster – Active
Florida 70-20 Emergency Adjuster – Active
Louisiana Adjuster License – Pending
Xactimate Level 1 Certified
Bonus: Add NIPR number if applicable. Makes it easier for firms to verify your credentials.
🧠 5. Emphasize Soft Skills
Soft skills matter just as much as technical ones. Adjusters who communicate well, stay organized, and follow instructions get rehired.
✅ Add bullet points like:
- Excellent time management and self-direction
- Strong written and verbal communication
- Reliable under high-pressure CAT conditions
- Skilled at empathetic customer interactions
Firms want professionals who are coachable, responsible, and easy to work with.
🛠 6. Mention Your Equipment
Many firms want to know if you’re already set up for deployment.
✅ Include:
- Ladder type
- Laptop with Xactimate
- Reliable vehicle
- Camera, hotspots, drone (if applicable)
Example:
Equipped with 28-ft. extension ladder, Xactimate-ready laptop, hotspot, and inspection camera. Valid driver’s license and clean driving record.
🚫 What to Avoid
- Long resumes — keep it to 1 page max
- Typos or inconsistent formatting
- Overstating your experience (you will be tested!)
- Listing unrelated jobs unless you can connect the skills (e.g., military, construction)
