Call on your insurance companies and let them know that you would like to become part of their team and ask how you could learn more about their company and ask if they are hiring without experience for anything.

Earn Insurance Institute designations, like AIC (Associate in Claims). These types of designations require self-study and taking tests but they give you real-world knowledge of the claims world. Having this designation would defiantly put you in the door of an insurance company.

Check Monster.com in your area for insurance companies; you can apply for adjuster/examiner jobs there, but I would recommend seeking out claims assistant type jobs to get a feel for the industry and see if you actually like it...Usually, you would start studying for various designations (AIC, FLMI, etc.) after you got a position...They're not worth much with no experience behind them, and would be much more academically difficult without some background first...

To be a property claims adjuster, companies like to see a background in construction and a general knowledge of computers. A degree is preferred but not necessarily required.

I started off in customer service as a temp with the insurance company I work with now and was referred by several employees to apply for an adjuster position. I eventually got the position but it would have been a lot easier to get had I had a background in construction. It doesn't mean you have to work as a contractor as long as the interviewer can see that you posess some knowledge about construction.

Go on the websites of the bigger insurance companies and look at claims position openings under career opportunites and just start submitting resumes.

i recommend taking a course at your local carreer institute. they ususally have courses for medical claims/billing.

I have insurance companies contacting me every time I update my resume on Careerbuilder.com. Just search out a company you want to work for and check out there website or contact them. See what you can work out. I think a lot of them offer some on the job or initial training.

submit some resumes! Lots of resumes. Don't be picky and someone will hire you! It won't pay much, though.

The majority of the insurance carriers out there want at minimum a 4-yr college graduate. Any customer service, law enforcement background, or auto repair/estimating is helpful, but not necessary.

As previously suggested, put your resume on hotjobs, monster, careerbuilder, etc. and target it towards insurance. You most likely will be bombarded by companies wanting you to become an agent, so you'll have to deal with a bunch of calls for a job you may not be interested in.

I would also suggest going straight to the companies website. Most of the large carriers do recruiting events at colleges & universities.

Be prepared to take several tests if you are called for an interview. These tests are designed to "see how you think," meaning, are logical, analytical, and able to comprehend. (Many people think they are but fail these tests miserably.)

Depending on the area of the country you are, and I am assuming you are in the U.S., you will have easier access to many carriers. Hot spots for claims offices: Atlanta, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Colorado Springs, Las Vegas, Sacramento, Oklahoma City, San Antonio, and Nebraska.

My question to you though, is why would you want to be a claims adjuster? I didn't choose this profession, it chose me. I enjoy it alright, but it certainly wasn't my first pick. Just be careful of the company you work for, because some are better than others, and just because they carry a name like Farmers or Allstate doesn't guarantee a great working enviornment. I worked for one of these guys and moved to a competitor, benefits were better at my prior employer, but working conditions where I am now are much more better.

You can e-mail me if you like for more info.

I use to work for Farmers Insurance. In order to be a claims adjuster, you need at least a BA.
