Self-test: Is social insurance really my vocation?

Anyone who works in the commercial sector, for an insurance company, pension fund or in human resources often has to deal with social insurance issues. For example, when calculating social security deductions, paying out daily sickness benefits or calculating pension fund contributions. And some could imagine continuing their training in social insurance issues and then working even more intensively with these topics, for example as a social insurance specialist. However, there are other tasks involved in qualified administrative positions, such as checking claims for accident insurance, IV or health insurance benefits and then informing the person concerned. If you are planning to do further training in the field of social insurance, you should find out whether the expected activities, e.g. as a social insurance specialist, match your own skills and really suit you in the long term. You can do this, for example, with our free online vocation test.
