Since being an insurance clerk can encompass a wide range of duties, I believe the best clerk would be someone who is dependable. A clerk needs to know how to prioritize a workload so that the most important tasks get taken care of first. I also believe communication is vital. In my career, I have noticed that the most confusion stems from inefficient communication, so if I were offered the position of clerk, I would make sure to keep everyone in the loop regarding important activities.
