A masterclass for actuarials on how to make an impact

Posted on 17 May 2012 | Leave a comment

Whether it’s for an atuarial job interview or a promotional oppertunity, you already know how important first impressions are.  But do you know how to maximise your chances of making that first impression a good one? Image and impact is critical as people subconsciously associate your visual impact with your abilities and values. This workshop session at Momentum conference 2011 was extremely popular and so we have decided to run it as a masterclass.

Course content

  • Enhance your professional image
  • Manage the perceptions others have of you
  • Personify your values through your non-verbal communication
  • Dress to impress

Virtual Library for Actuaries

Posted on 3 April 2012 | Leave a comment

As a member of the life committees I’m delighted to introduce you to a new service to members. They have developed a virtual library of life insurance papers. The library (http://www.actuaries.org/index.cfm?DSP=LIFE&ACT=LIBRARY&LANG=EN) currently contains over 40 papers, which have appeared in past issues of the ASTIN Bulletin – The Journal of the IAA and Insurance: Mathematics and Economics. Papers from past Life Section colloquia will also be added to the library. The library provides the following information for each paper: title, author, source, year of publication and abstract. Additionally, we have included a filter option which allow viewers to limit the display to various categories. The library also includes a form allowing members to suggest papers to be added to the library. A member of the Life Section Committee has been appointed to review potential submissions for inclusion in the library. Please make sure that you are logged into the IAA Website as a member in order for your access rights to be authenticated.

Imperial College – Actuarial Careers Fair 2011

Posted on 5 December 2011 | 1 Comment

We feel very proud to once again have sponsored Imperial College Actuarial Careers Fair!

As always the event was excellent – both the evening itself and the companies who attended.

Special thanks of course go to Imperial College for having organized such a great evening, offering us great atmosphere and a wonderful opportunity for Business networking… all accompanied with floods of wine and more sushi than in down town Tokyo!

We were truly delighted to be in the presence of such important guests as AON, Buck Consultants, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, Inside Careers, Mercer, Milliman, Pricewaterhouse Cooper, The Actuarial Profession, Towers Watson and last but not least Zurich Financial Services.

Therefore, THANK YOU ALL!

We hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did and that you had the chance to meet good grads!

Thanks again, we hope to see you all very soon!

GAAPS Team

Largest Ever Fair Tomorrow

Posted on 2 November 2010 | Leave a comment

Tomorrow’s Actuarial Careers Fair at Heriot Watt is set to be our largest ever with 15 actuarial employers in attendance.

The fair will be held in the Ceder Suite but will also burst out into the adjoining corridor so the room should be easy to find.

This is a fantastic opportunity to meet a wide range of employers and we look forward to building on our previous success.

If you are based closer to London then don’t forget that we are also holding a similar event together with the Imperial College Business School on the 10th of November.

Actuarial Careers Fair at The University of Pretoria

Posted on 14 August 2010 | Leave a comment

The 4th Annual GAAPS Actuarial Careers Fair at The University of Pretoria will be in two weeks time on Friday the 27th of August.

The Fair is the only one of its kind in South Africa that gives you the chance to speak to many of the leading actuarial companies who are within this sector and to find out what  opportunities are available, what employers expect from you and how you can make the most of your application to them.

The honours groups from the University of the Free State and North West University (Potchefstroom) have also been invited to the event. Not only do we think this will improve relations between the three universities, we also know it will give the companies here wider exposure to the talent available in the market.
