Changing career pathshow do I get my foot in the door with Allianz?
Additional information
Hi! I'm looking to change careers. I have a wealth of experience in customer service, administrative jobs, and I have experience in Legal as well, with a J.D. under my belt and everything. I've even dabbled in sales, compliance, andmost recentlyinsurance. In short, I know that I've got great experience and I'm very employable. However, I'm wanting to make a career change. I've been in the process of learning programming, development, SQL, etc. I'm still a beginner, of course, but I'm learning fast. I'm looking for a company with a wide variety of jobs so that I can offer the skills I currently have and eventually train within the company to grow/develop myself for tech jobs. Allianz seems like a wonderful company for lifelong careers, development, and a stable work environment. My question is how you would suggest going about applying to be part of the broader Allianz family when I don't have a particular preference which skills I already have are employed (whatever is most useful to Allianz, presumably!), but instead want to communicate that I'd like to be with Allianz for long term career growth? In short; I'm both entry level (tech) AND professional level (legal, customer support, administrative, etc.) How should I approach working at Allianz? Thank you!

Dear Amelia,
Thank you for your question!
From the information you have shared with us, I would say the first step is to identify which entry level position you would like to join with Allianz. Once you have narrowed that down, you can start searching for relevant job opportunities and start sending us your application. Once you are part of Allianz universe, you can easily benefit from many job shadowing, short term assignments to gain experience on job, take up upskilling courses and of course expand your professional network to make the next career move.
Remember at Allianz, you are in the driver seat of your career. So definitely a world of opportunities await you. In order to get your foot in the door, apply to a job position matching with your current skill set.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Sheetal
