Actuarial People Meet Tom Creasy! (Early Careers Special)
Tom is VP, Actuarial & Business Intelligence at Euclid Transactional and joins me as part of my mini-series focussed on early careers.
Tom draws on his experience of being a GI Actuary in both the UK and the US, and his extensive experience of hiring and training actuarial graduates.
During the conversation we learn how:
- Practicing interviews and getting mock interview experience can help build confidence.
- Tailoring your CV and application to each job increases your chances of standing out.
- Confidence in communication is more important than technical knowledge during assessments.
- Networking and seeking feedback from peers can greatly improve your application process.
Tom also emphasises the importance of starting your job applications early, while suggesting some alternative options if you have left it too late.
I hope you enjoy the conversation!
