http://www.beanactuary.org/ has
some info about the US job market, which appears to be more promising for entry
level actuarial students than the crowded Canadian job market. For a
Canadian citizen with a math or act sci degree and a letter offering US
employment, a TN (Trade NAFTA) US employment visa is likely to be obtainable but
check it out first:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1274.html Most employers
like to see some office work experience on your resume. Many recent graduates
want to live in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Boston, New York, San Francisco,
Los Angeles etc. but you might have a better chance of getting a suitable job in
a less popular city.
The membership listing at www.soa.org
is very useful in a job search. Maybe look for excuses to send an email to a
potential employer - perhaps start with a search for actuaries with the same
last name as you. Be creative, but don't send a lot of spam and don't be
upset if you don't get a reply. Everyone is busy and everyone quickly
deletes non-essential email. But for example, maybe you'll notice at
www.soa.org a person working in
investments in X-land and you are a fluent X-ese language speaker and have taken
some investment-related courses. Then try sending an email with a email
'subject' field such as 'X-ese speaker with investment skills', attaching your
resume. For greater visibility, you could snail-mail a hard copy resume.
www.actuarialoutpost.com
has job ads and, on the popular discussion board, a lot of comments and
information, much of it correct. See in particular the forum named
'Careers-Employment'.
Here is
placement rate info on an ad for a 'how to stay competitive' Act Sci Club
seminar in October 2007.
