Rob is a qualified actuary in the pensions sector, and joins us as part of my mini-series focussed on early careers. Rob has lots of experience of the recruitment cycle for actuarial interns and actuarial graduates, and shares his knowledge in the hope of helping aspiring actuaries on the journey to securing their first actuarial role.

We explore:

• Rob’s own experiences of the application process when he began his actuarial career
• Understanding the typical online application stages (CVs, cover letters, psychometric tests etc.)
• Developing skills beyond your degree and using them to your advantage on applications
• Tailoring your applications to each company
• CV reviewing – how are CVs assessed by actuaries?
• Preparing for assessment days and interviews

If you are an aspiring actuary hoping to begin your actuarial career in the coming months or years, this is such an important conversation and thank you very much Rob for sharing your knowledge!!
