Employment Opportunities

Students looking for a job, whether full-time work, part-time employment, or an internship, should:
  • Register with the Career Center.
  • Prepare a resume, and place it on E-Recruiting.
  • Students can also have their résumé posted on the Actuarial Program Web site. Those resumes are often reviewed by actuaries at companies looking to hire students. If you want your résumé posted, send a file with it (Microsoft Word, Apple Works or Adobe Acrobat formats preferred, the file will be posted in the Adobe Acrobat PDF format) to Dr. Krzysztof Ostaszewski.
  • Send letters of application to as many companies as possible.

It might be also a good idea to sign up for the Internet discussion group for ISU actuarial students actuary-l listserv, by sending a subscription (subscribe actuary-l) request to listserv@listserv.ilstu.edu, and to join Gamma Iota Sigma (student insurance society, actuarial students form an Actuarial Club within it). Remember, however, that passing actuarial examinations opens the doors to actuarial employment much more effectively than anything else. You may also want to review the links below, listing companies hiring our students and other job opportunities.
