State Farm Insurance Companies

“Working as a Claims Intern at State Farm was one of the best experiences during my time at Mizzou! I originally approached BA-4500 (required internship course) as a hassle and started applying for many internships just to meet the graduation requirement. State Farm was the quickest one to reach out to me, and I am so happy they did! As a Claims Intern, I was given the opportunity to explore State Farm as a whole. I was not confined to just the Claims Department when looking at future career opportunities. While the work was challenging at times, I learned so much about the Insurance industry and gained many valuable skills along the way. The primary work I did during this internship was handling claim files for State Farm policy holders. This included reviewing new insurance claims, making calls to involved parties, reviewing police reports, gathering information from online resources, and much more. I really enjoyed this work much more than I originally thought I would! The investigative aspects of this role really made me feel like a detective at times! The internship was not limited to just this type of work. I also got to attend meetings with executive leadership and learn about all aspects of the company. I also got to attend development seminars that helped grow my business acumen. State Farm made me feel important and expressed that the internship is about much more than working insurance claims. The internship is primarily focused on preparing and educating potential future leaders of the company. It was for that reason, when the internship ended, I accepted a full-time position with State Farm as a Claim Specialist. I have been in the role for about 4 months at this time and I am really enjoying it! I am still presented with opportunities for growth, and I have a clear development plan for my career. I cannot express how highly I recommend this internship and State Farm as an employer. ”

“My favorite part about State Farm is the people you work with and work under. Everybody I have met over the last year has just been great, and really willing to help when they can. My managers on the teams I have been on have been especially awesome, because they are striving to give me strong deliverables I can put on my resume in the time I have with them, as well as listening to my feedback and focusing on the things I want to learn.”
