Set yourself apart in these uncertain times
An estimated 6,000 jobs were lost
from the UK insurance industry
in the first eight months of 2008
says Sandy Scott, CII CEO.
“2008’s credit crunch is becoming
2009’s world financial crisis”, he
warns. “We cannot be sure what
the future will bring, although the
underlying financial stability of
our major insurers offers
good cause for hope”.
In these challenging times it’s vital
to have the support of a heavyweight
organisation. The CII is the world’s
leading professional organisation
for insurance and financial services.
Membership offers you a distinct career
advantage and a host of benefits. Your membership counts
now more than ever.
Stand out for the right reasons:
When head counts are being reduced
it’s crucial to be among the strongest
contenders. CII designations and
qualifications can set you apart from
the competition. Membership could also place you in a stronger position than

Redundancy help:
CII members have access to our unique
Redundancy Guide to help them cope
with the impact of job losses. If the worst
happens you want someone authoritative
lobbying on your behalf.
A time to take stock:
If you find yourself temporarily out
of the job market this can be the
perfect opportunity to upgrade your
qualifications, put your CV in order
and get networking. The CII offers an
unrivalled range of online and face-to-face
training courses and membership
provides big discounts.
