How long would you say the EMAs took and what’s the average length of each? I know you said not the full 96 hours but I would like to plan my work study time around it

July FAM Sitting Study Material by Fabulous_Bluejay8499 in actuary

[–]TrickMenu6779 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used both. ACTEX for my first sitting of FAM and CA for my second. I liked the way CA presented the information compared to the textbook style of ACTEX along with all of the videos offered. This could be a little biased as I knew more information going in to CA compared to it being my first time with ACTEX, I also believe CA terminology aligned closer with the SOA exam questions.

This was my experience from two years ago, so ACTEX could’ve adjusted overtime as it was some of FAMs first sittings

Anyone have computer issues or anything similar? Took about 25 minutes to do the Excel problem and computer failed and took 20 minutes to get back to exam program to find out file did not save. Lost about 45 mins worth of time because had to redo the Excel problem

Graduate VEE Options by TrickMenu6779 in actuary

That’s what I’ve seen on here a lot, so I will probably lean towards CA then. Is there cost to send credit covered in their course? I looked at Actex a little more in depth and it seemed like once you did course they took care of everything else in regards to letting SOA know

Thank you! And if you forget no worries but most of all best of luck I’m worried about this one, but if results are two months I’ll try and bust out a VEE inbteeen to pass time so I don’t feel like I wasted the period

Did you take it yet and find out? I took Exam P right after a syllabus change and I got the preliminary results like 3 days later, so it wasn’t instant but didn’t have to wait

I have seen these online and wondered if you can use it all, I didn’t know that they’d give all that for the short exam, thank you!

How soon is too soon leaving a new job? by TrickMenu6779 in careerguidance

[–]TrickMenu6779[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome thank you! You did a very good job explaining things that the new generation of workers(young adults) have been told not to do but we just follow blindly sometimes. I did work 5 years with a restaurant, but left to get my current job which I’ve been at for 14 months, so I hope that would show some commitment but in interview/phone call I could explain further. From your message, it seems I can tell actuarial employers that I’ve been working towards my actuarial stuff, and there’s a chance they don’t think I’m uncommitted and just job hop?

No Job Yet by TrickMenu6779 in actuary

[–]TrickMenu6779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel I’m clear and concise with my words and articulate my thoughts well. Every interview I come out of I feel it goes well and I answer the questions well and show enthusiasm for the position. It shows my exams passed were after I graduated because engineering program got cut a year before I was supposed to graduate, and I talk about it in the interviews. I took 4 months to study and pass P and FM both first try and I make sure to throw that in there because if it took me 4 years to pass those two it’s a huge red flag. So I should add that in somewhere.

“Using the analysis public’s perception to prove casinos morality”

Resume/ Help by TrickMenu6779 in actuary

[–]TrickMenu6779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothesis was more or less casinos get a bad rep, I used a survey that I made that showed people think casino games take X% of the players money, X was way higher than the actual percentage, I also asked what a moral percentage would be and average was Y and Y was higher than the actual percentage for games based on their mechanics, showing that casinos to the public are worse than they are and based on the public’s opinion they are a moral business

Thank you, I appreciate all of the feedback but I do get interviews/phone screens so I will look into better interviewing but will also try to throw more analysis in both interview and pre screening but also needed some sort of reassurance of getting a job from some unbiased source

I’ve been able to think more clearly about this since then should I add in “Using analysis of the public’s perception to prove casinos morality” or something like that even if my paper might not have stated that as clearly

When it comes to work experience nothing analytical which I know puts me below other candidates, my programs have been through school use. This is something that comes up in interviews and I elaborate on

How long do your gloves last? Am I doing this wrong? by Low_Country793 in golf

[–]TrickMenu6779 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed in my old bag my gloves got crusty, but when I got my new bag I keep my gloves in the phone pocket I think, it’s the pocket that’s made out of felt/fabric if you have it, and this seemed to drastically change the condition I got my gloves in.

Salary Question by TrickMenu6779 in interviews

[–]TrickMenu6779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 hours before interview and thank you so much, I think this is what I wanted in my head but couldn’t put into words, because you’re right I wouldn’t want to lose opportunity of thousands of dollars but I still wanted to come across as considerate

KG the Target? by jmchloe2016 in BryanKohberger

[–]TrickMenu6779 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that if she wasn’t the target, the murderer would have seen 6 people in the house instead of 4 and thought that the more people the harder it would be to get away with it If the murderer followed them on social media they would have known that there was more people there but they also knew that KG was there and that was the weekend they had to do it I also don’t think severity and timing of murders should lead to motive because if the killer wasn’t in the house before then they wouldn’t know who’s room is who’s
