Someone please please help me out. I am a graduate in philosophy and now I am applying for a job in an insurance sector. And the interviewers will definitely ask "how philosophy and insurance relates or how philosophy can contribute to insurance?" And I can't come up with some solid points.

Some insurance companies literally administer a logic/critical thinking test to their applicants.

Talking points:

1. Processing a claim requires recognizing whether conditions do or do not apply to a case. You can connect idealized rules to concrete instances, especially with a nuanced attention to detail. Philosophers are well-attuned to recognize general rules, what could count as counter-examples, and whether the necessary and sufficient conditions obtain.
2. Clients/customers give stories about what has or has not occurred. You are working to make a coherent picture of what happened. This requires weighing evidence, spotting tensions and contradictions in information, and then performing some inference to the best explanation (IBE). Philosophers are trained to make inductive inferences like these and weigh evidence in an unbiased manner.
3. In the office you will be expected to present information, at some point. Philosophers have experience writing persuasive pieces, presenting works in seminars and conferences, and oftentimes teaching courses to undergrads. This makes you an asset to translate information across domains to different audiences.
4. One sub-field in philosophy is that of ethics. You have been trained in a variety of ethical theories, and can recognize the highest standards of integrity. You have been well-trained to be able to recognize a healthy workplace and can interface well with HR.
