DETAILS OF WORKING IN TRAVEL INSURANCE
DEPARTMENT
Learned all the important aspects of Travel insurance offered by AICL.
Studied in detail the travel insurance policy of AICL and discussed different
aspects with Manager, MR.Bilal.
Discussed and compared various policies offered by other companies in
order to improve travel insurance policy of Adamjee.
Learned the market trends prevailing with respect to the travel insurance.
Adamjee Insurance Page 16
Went to meet many insurance agents and the owner’s of their agencies as
to get the view of both and the gap between them, because agents gives us
sale but we deal with agency, so there was a gap which was removed by
bringing both the agent and owner on the same page.
Collected sales reports from the agencies.
Punched the data into the system so that it can be underwritten.
Managed the files of the department.(by giving them a serial number).
Made calls to the agents all over the country to improve the database.
Frequent conversations with the customers directly to fulfill the CNIC
requirement of AICL.
Learned the complete process of issuance of a policy.
Issued policy when direct sales occurred.
I also handled different administrative tasks, such as answering the phone,
making copies, printing, delivering mail, and other office responsibilities.
INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE
This was my second experience working in the corporate sector. I learn a lot
because every organization has different way of doing work. Working for six
weeks in the organization I come to know about the structure of the organization
that how to perform different activities how to adjust yourself in the office
environment. The internship program at AICL is a commendable step taken by the
Adamjee Insurance Page 17
management of AICL. Having an organized internship program is a clear indication
of the corporate social responsibility that this organization exercises at its best.
One of the things I learned immediately about Adamjee was that each day would
differ significantly from the previous one. Being flexible and open to change was
key in fitting well into this organization. While there was a wide range of tasks
assigned, there were also some routine tasks to be completed every week. I also
handled different administrative tasks, such as answering the phone, making
copies, printing, delivering mail, and other office responsibilities. I have learned
many fundamental techniques that have made me a better communicator. First,
my writing skills have advanced and I feel confident in doing tasks expected of
me. Next, I am now more eager to attempt things that intimidate me.
Additionally, I have learned that my verbal communication skills, which I have
always thought were above average, have room for improvement. I have learned
and grown from the respect given to me by all the people whom I have
encountered in Adamjee. This, in turn, has prompted me to espouse that respect
to others. In closing, this internship has been much more than learning about a
job, it has been learning about life and my abilities. I was placed in the Travel
Insurance Department all the employees along with the supervisor (S.M Bilal
Shehzad) were very cooperative and instructive. The knowledge and guidance
that I have received from them is priceless and cannot be quantified.
RECOMMENDATION
Internee should be provided with the rules and regulations before starting
his internship which he has to follow during his internship.
Adamjee Insurance Page 18
The computer (PC’S) should be speedier.
Company should have a cooking department so that it can provide healthy
food to their employees because many of the employees eat from outside
and it is very unhygienic. Company can deduct some amount of food from
the salary of the employees.
All departments of the company should be in one building because it’s
difficult and time consuming to go to head office or HR for any work as one
has to to cross Main roads which always have traffic and it’s very unsafe.
Travel has a dedicated Sales team whose job should be to push the product
in the market with force but keeping the SOP’s in mind.
CONCLUSION
I will conclude that every organization must give opportunities for internships for
the students because when a student finishes his or her education they want a
plat form to work and they want companies to give them internship. Adamjee
provides internship in many departments like marketing, Hr, finance, Health and
Adamjee Insurance Page 19
they provide a plat form to polish the skills of the internees so that they can prove
to the best in their job career.
