Let me guess...
You got licensed. You were excited. You thought, “Okay, now I can start working.”
Then... Nothing.
You started watching YouTube videos. You joined Facebook groups. You applied to rosters. Maybe you bought training. Maybe you bought equipment.
“What am I doing wrong?”
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone. Getting licensed and knowing how to actually work in this industry are two entirely different things.
You don’t need more random information.
You need a roadmap.
A license is the beginning,
not the finish line.
ROSTER-READY is designed to close the practical gap between holding a license and understanding how to prepare for work in property claims. It helps you focus on what you can control: your preparation, positioning, organization, communication, and professional growth.

The roadmap supports the first three steps. Consideration, assignments, deployment, and employment depend on many outside factors and are not guaranteed.
What you’ll learn
Practical clarity for the questions
new adjusters actually have.
Not a dry table of contents—a structured way to understand the industry, prepare professionally, and take useful action.
Understand the actual work
Learn what property adjusters may do across investigation, inspections, photographs, measurements, documentation, communication, estimating, and claim organization.
Build your professional foundation
Organize your license, documents, training records, availability, references, communication, transportation, and assignment-specific requirements in one prepared system.
Create a resume that connects the dots
Identify transferable experience—from customer service and construction to documentation, technology, field work, and problem-solving—and present it with relevance.
Train with a purpose
Understand how training, Xactimate, estimating, construction knowledge, scoping, damage identification, and certifications may support the kind of work you want.
Approach the job search strategically
Explore firms, carrier opportunities, recruiters, roster pages, job postings, organizations, conferences, communities, and professional networking without assuming one application equals work.
Improve your callback readiness
Review possible gaps in your process, follow up professionally, track applications, and prepare honest, confident answers for recruiter conversations.
Know what to ask before an assignment
Prepare to clarify claim type, location, scope, deadlines, software, equipment, training, compensation, reporting, contacts, and availability expectations.
See CAT work realistically
Look beyond the highlight reel to understand travel, long days, weather, stress, volume, deadlines, time away, and the waiting that may happen between deployments.
Think like a 1099 professional
Recognize possible costs—from transportation and lodging to software, insurance, licensing, training, taxes, and administration—and build the habit of tracking money.
Build a career, not just chase a check
Evaluate opportunities through skills, relationships, experience, service, professionalism, and long-term value—not only the gross number.
Put it into action in 30 days
Follow a week-by-week Roster-Ready Plan and use the included scorecard, introduction script, follow-up script, and opportunity tracker to stay focused.
Preparation is a system
What “ready” can look like.
A current license is one piece. Professional readiness can also involve knowing your skill level, communicating clearly, documenting what you’ve completed, tracking outreach, and understanding the requirements before saying yes.
“You don’t have to be perfect. You have to be prepared.”— Jerri Ramirez, ROSTER-READY

Hi, I’m Jerri.
I know there’s a big difference between getting licensed and understanding how to work in this industry.
Over six years in claims adjusting, I’ve worked across auto and property claims in both staff and independent roles. On the property side, my experience includes residential and commercial claims. On the auto side, I’ve handled desk claims including first notice of loss (FNOL), liability, and total loss.
ROSTER-READY was created to share practical industry perspective—not theory—and help new adjusters understand the path, organize their next steps, and feel more comfortable preparing for their own claims work.
