A Day in the Life of an Agency Assistant at Chalmers Insurance
October 25, 2023 4 minute read

A job as an Agency Assistant (AA) at Chalmers is rooted in routine, yet every day brings something new. It begins in the morning quiet, as Nicole in Fryeburg describes, “I’m often the first one in, getting everything ready.” But as the day unfolds, it transforms into a buzz of activity. There’s a rhythm to it - a balance of expected tasks and unexpected interactions that make every day unique.

Every AA understands that the atmosphere in the office is determined by the interactions that occur there. Miranda, working in Bridgton, with years of experience, sees each conversation as an opportunity. “A warm smile or a quick chat can make someone’s day,” she shares. It’s a sentiment echoed by every AA. They are the frontlines of the client experience, the first voices heard, and the first faces seen.

Tasks vary, from managing calls and handling inquiries to ensuring that each client feels attended to with a personal touch. Xann, from the Ossipee office, explains, “We listen, we understand.” Every client is unique, and understanding that uniqueness is part of the job.

But it’s not just about the clients. The AA role is as much about supporting the team as it is about serving clients. Teamwork is in the DNA of every AA at Chalmers. “We pull together. Support is a staple here,” Xann adds. On busy days, this support is not just appreciated - it’s essential.

Growth is a constant theme, too. Every day is a learning experience, an opportunity to expand skills and knowledge. Michaela in Gorham speaks about her evolution, “I started with nerves, but every day was a step forward.” There’s a learning curve, but it’s softened by the supportive atmosphere and the collective experience of the team.

And then there’s the community aspect. Every AA is not just part of Chalmers but part of the larger community. Miranda shares, “We’re always involved in something in the community.” It’s an extension of the job - a bridge that connects the work done within the office walls to the world outside.

Paige in Cornish echoes this sentiment, “We’re about creating an environment where everyone feels welcomed and valued.” It’s a role that interweaves administrative tasks with personal interactions, every AA contributes to making both clients and colleagues feel valued and supported.

In essence, being an AA at Chalmers is about being part of something bigger. It’s a role that combines routine tasks with the unexpected, offering a dynamic work experience every day. The office is a space where professional meets personal, where tasks meet interactions, and where an individual role meets a collective effort.
