Car Insurance Job Picker Discussion

MeeeeeClare

Great tip! It is amazing what a difference it can make.
I always struggle with my job title, and still do sadly as i cant find anything that i think matches well enough on your list either.
My title is "Videographer and Social Media Manager". I work full time for a website, i film videos, edit and publish them on the site. I am also in charge of the Social Media for the company, running FB, Twitter etc.
Online companies are so difficult to describe for insurance and credit card applications etc. I often have to take the best guess even though i know its not quite right.
Does anyone have any tips on what i should be using to both get the best deal and not be lying? thanks in advance!

I work in risk management/compliance, yet there are no job titles close to either of these listed and I work in the insurance industry! I find it absolutely extraordinary that even standard roles in the insurance industry are not listed by insurance companies...

Compliance? You'll find it listed under "parasite"

My husband left work several years ago and, although we've been saying he's retired, he's not of state pension age, but does draw a pension from a previous employer. Should we really be declaring him as a househusband or retired? He does the housework/preps meals while I'm at work (and yes - I consider myself very lucky).

We're also considering a change in my work status. I'm currently employed full time but we're in a position to move across the country, me give up work and live off savings/investments. I won't be entitled to any pension for quite some years, won't be claiming benefits of any kind and my husband won't be working either so how would we classify ourselves to insurers in this case?

I'm not ruling out working in some self-employed capacity in the future but I'm not sure what to state (or worse - to select from drop down menus) to insurance companies.

Hi Dhiammara, you're right this is a tricky area of insurance. Sounds like your husband is retired as you don't mention he has any intention of returning to work (and is drawing a pension). Also think (based on your explanation) that you'll also be retired ( at least for a while) if you go through the move you mention. Always best to discuss this with your broker/insurer if you're not happy with things. The only occupation which may attract significantly higher premiums in your scenario is unemployed (especially if you are drawing benefits). Hope this helps

Hi does anyone know what is the best job description to pick for bar staff?
The only option that I can find on the list is Bar Manager (which she isn't!)
Thanks in advance

Sorry if this has been answered earlier. ...but what about being registered with a Temp Agency, for office work? You could be sent to a different "industry" every week. E.g. bank, insurance, builders merchant, garage etc.
