50 G.I. JOBS | OCTOBER 2017 | GIJOBS.COM :$17(' ,1129$7256 ,1 ,1685$1&( INDUSTRY INTEL INSURANCE YOU WANT TO get into an industry while it's on the edge of reinventing itself. Trust me. According to a recent article published in the Wall Street Journal, insurance companies headed into 2017 on a strong financial footing, with industry capacity hitting a record value: $688.3 billion. That's definitely nothing to balk at, right? But as with any business sector these days, innovation is critical to success. Competition is fiercer than ever, and technology, organization and a customer-centric focus is what companies desperately require to thrive. With your skill set and dedication, you're the innovation the insurance industry needs. And they want to hire you. Michelle Schwartz, Manager of Diversity and University Programs at Cambia Health Solutions, left no question about that. "Our veterans bring skills we need — discipline, focus, a strong work ethic and commitment to our cause." And if you're worried about upward mobility, Steve Kaczynski, associate manager of recruitment marketing at Progressive, laid that to rest: "The same qualities that help people succeed in the military lead to success here. Whether running a team project or helping a customer, you can apply the skills you developed in the military every day." You already know you have what it takes. You know the industry needs you. You know that it's the perfect time to get your foot in the door. Your post-military career awaits. Your military skills will help you advance in this fast-paced industry. BY DANIEL SWANSON
