Aspiring Actuary Academy – Get Hired Learning Path
The entry-level actuarial job market has become increasingly more competitive and populated with job seekers. In fact, many people suggest having 2 actuarial exams passed and an internship in order to get hired for an entry-level job. However, many aspiring actuaries have still experienced difficulty getting hired even with all of these steps accomplished. On the other end of the spectrum, there seem to be people who have gotten “lucky” and were recently hired, even without passing the requisite number of exams or past experience.
This leads to a lot of questions, such as:
- What are actuarial employers actually looking for?
- How do I demonstrate to a potential employer that I’m qualified?
- What if I’ve never had an actuarial internship?
- How do I communicate my past experiences in a way that is clear and relevant to hiring managers?
- How do I differentiate myself from others who have the same exams/experience I do?
- What do I need to do at career fairs, conferences, and other meetings to be remembered?
- How do I network effectively to get an interview?
- How do I get an interview after submitting my resume online?
- What do I need to do during an interview to get to the next round?
- And more…
Answering these questions is the primary focus on the Get Hired learning path of the Aspiring Actuary Academy.
Other job reference sources may tell you what you need to do, but the Aspiring Actuary Academy is designed to help you take action by showing you how to do it. The Get Hired learning path is focused on helping you and other Aspiring Actuaries go through a step-by-step process to develop personalized and concrete action plans that you can put into play immediately to help you get noticed, get interviewed, and get hired!
The course is broken down into 4 major modules, which are structured to help you take action within one week through a series of videos and exercises that, once complete, will leave you with 4 Personalized Action Plans:
- How to Stand out from the Crowd – With exams being offered more often and the rising popularity of the actuarial profession, differentiating yourself from other candidates is essential to getting hired. This module focuses on helping you identify your strengths, the key things that employers are looking for based on the role and industry, and how your past experiences accumulate to make you the best possible choice for the job.
Module Objective: Create a Personalized Differentiation Roadmap
- How to Effectively Build Professional Relationships – The #1 action that recent career changers and entry-level actuaries have cited as helping them get an interview is building and nurturing relationships. This module shows you what steps you can take to start building relationships with people in the actuarial field, which might eventually lead to a job. Regardless of whether you have a shy personality or are outgoing, this section will equip you with best practices to build meaningful professional relations.
Module Objective: Create a Personalized Relationship-Building Roadmap
- How to Effectively Communicate Your Value (Part I)– As a job seeker, it’s up to you to help potential employers understand how you will fit into their company and add value. The two key ways to assess this are through your resume and interviews. This module will walk you through ways to structure your resume and how to highlight your qualifying and differentiating factors in a way that could lead to more interviews.
Module Objective: Create a Personalized Qualification Resume Roadmap
- How to Effectively Communicate Your Value (Part II) – Once your relationships and resume have helped you get an interview, you’ll also need to convey your value face-to-face with your potential employer. You’ll leave this module having a game plan on how you can prepare in advance to put your best foot forward during your interview.
