4. Why do you want to work as an actuary.
5. Write a paragraph to describe the trend of the data. And also list any

发帖数: 186 | 4 The first four questions are typical interview questions.
The reason why you didn't get the job is not necessarily you didn't answer
the last question well. It might because they have many strong candidates.
If you need a visa and are not the strongest one, you might not be able to
get the offer. Even if you are the strongest one, if other candidates are good enought, you might not get an offer either.
Don't be upset and move on. Good Luck!

发帖数: 47 | 5 Well, I have green card. I forgot one thing, 'why do we have to hire you'.
So far two local p-c insurance companies asked about this question. I always
said I have four exams so I have the strong ability to pass exams in the
future, and also I have the ability to do the job since I'm a statistician for my current job. But seems that's not what they want. Anyway, move
on la.
Feel like if the company's size is medium or(red neck) and don't sponsor visa they really care about whether you can fit in | C*****3
发帖数: 4215 | 6 that's not how you should answer this question. Now days, all the candidate
they interview are fast at passing exams and have solid quantitative
background. You should say something like: I'll stay away from the
analytical side since I am confident that I can prove that to you once I
start, but what really distingishes me from others are .... (talk about
something unique about you - ie. background, etc)
good luck

group might not have any non-americans. If the company is really big and

not) Swiss-Re i

发帖数: 186 | 11 Since you are a career changer, you need to convince them why you want to be
an actuary rather than a statistician.
You'd better to get some insight information about the field where a company
is doing its buesiness. For example, if the company is in health, you'd
better relate your interest with health insurance.
Hope it helps and good luck!

发帖数: 47 | 12 Thanks, everyone. Admittedly, I didn't prepare well for those behavior
questions. One more thing I want to add to is that the SAS certification may
not be helpful for those jobs. From my experience, except a small health
insurance really like my experience of using SAS (unfortunately I didn't
want to move to that location, so I didn't go to the on-site), the others
seems don't care SAS programming skills at all. And one p-c company said
they using EXCEL all the time.(I was freaking out after hea |
