why is it so hard...

Hello everyone!

I am recently looking for an entry level job in Canada. However, I have got nothing except a telephone interview... It is so frustrating. :crying:I know my background might be a little thin, as I've got only 2 courses and had no full-time experience. Is there any chance I can get some interview? Any advice? Thx a lot...

Opportunies in Montreal?

Watson — Wed, 15 Feb 2006 12:42:50 GMT

Hello everyone! Just wondering if anybody knows of any Montreal companies that could be looking to fill Entry Level positions. I've completed Exam P and will be writing Exam FM in May. I already have a B.Sc. in Mathematics & Computer Science and I currently work in IT.

Even if you don't know of specific job posting, some names of companies would help. I really don't know what companies hire actuaries.

i recently used jobs4actuary to find an actuarial job in hong kong. it has only been 2 weeks and i have been employed with towers perrin. the service i received was unbelievable. the agent who served me was working on my case 24/7. i went through several interviews and i hardly had to do anything extra other then prepare for my interview. i'm currently living in new hampshire so i will have to move back to hong kong. but i highly recommend that all of you use jobs4actuary. it certainly worked for me. good luck!

entry level students

nic_underground — Fri, 18 Mar 2005 13:37:34 GMT

you guys should definitely attract all the entry level students into the forum. they would definitely enjoy using the forum since they have more time on their hands. but other than that, the jobs4actuary website is really well done. it was sooooo much better than the last one. this new website is professional, easy to use, and feedback is almost immediate. i hope that you can keep up the good work and continue improving what you guys do best!
congrats.

Entry Level Students

Hey, what suggestions would you give to entry level students that require sponsorship to work in U.S? Thanks.

canadian actuaries, help!

mahmoud — Wed, 23 Feb 2005 17:10:23 GMT

Hi,

I am basically unsure about choosing my university major. I did a lot of research on what actuaries do, and it looks pretty cool and everything. However, I am still unsure whether I want to go into this field because of job security and money factors. Maybe you could explain these to me:

How many exams does a university graduate need to get into actuarial science work in Canada? I hear that a lot of people get 4 exams, which kind of scares me as far as money goes (e.g. if you get paid by your exams and you start off at entry level with 4 exams, you wouldnt move up by that much after you complete them all).

How easy is it to find a job as an actuary? When I look at D.W. Simpson job listing, there are very few postings in canada. I don't really like what they're offering.

How much money do actuaries really make in Canada? Information about entry level and full membership in SOA/CAS would be nice.

Do I need connections to get into the field?

That would be all, thanks!

is it hard to find a job in the united states?

stockguru — Fri, 18 Feb 2005 15:21:58 GMT

i was wondering if it is difficult to receive sponsorship from us companies. i am an entry level actuarial student and i need sponsorship. thank you.
