Insurance underwriters must achieve a balance between risky and cautious decisions. If underwriters allow too much risk, the insurance company will pay out too many claims. But if they don't approve enough applications, the company will not make enough money from premiums. Most insurance underwriters specialize in one of three broad fields: life, health, and property and casualty.
Underwriter assistants work for a variety of employers including insurance companies, brokerage firms and businesses. They tend to work full-time hours in an office environment. However, they may work overtime, especially to assist underwriters with analyzing a large number of insurance applications.nderwriter assistants must be comfortable using computer software programs to determine whether to approve or deny an applicant for insurance coverage. They need analytical skills to solve complex problems and evaluate clients' information.
