Relocating with minimal P&C experience

I have been an underwriter for 7 years at the same company specializing in workers compensation. I am now wanting to relocate to New York and am concerned as I don't have any P&C experience. Any suggestions as to what may help me land a job quickly. Thanks.

Where are you currently living? I guess one of the big questions would be, why would you WANT to relocate to New York? :shock:

One suggestion if you wanted to switch to the agency side would be to look for a larger agency/brokerage that did a lot of workers comp. Oft times, having a former w/c underwriter on board can be an asset as you know the type of information the carrier needs, and the best way to put together a submission.

I couldn't tell from your post but do you do any WC in the state of New York currently? If not which states do you handle? I would suggest looking at a brokerage that does a lot of construction business as the comp tends to drive that client's needs.

Good luck.
