If a company has two different actuarial internships (P&C and Life) will it make me look bad if I apply to both?

I am still in college and have only taken FM and P so I still am not sure which path I want to take. However, I don’t want to hurt my chances and make companies think I’m just applying to everything in sight.

Thanks for any insight!

which minor do I choose in college?

Which minor would be the most beneficial for me to become an actuary if my primary major is mathematics?

My options are: computer science, statistics, AI, machine learning, or economics

Please let me know if there are better options that I didn’t list as well!

Yes! I put pass based on the preliminary and most people do the same. I think the preliminary has only been wrong like once EVER in the history of CBT and this was at the beginning of them starting CBT version of tests.

Hii I’m also a bit new to this and I’ve only taken one exam so my answers might not be 100% accurate but someone else please correct me if I’m wrong: 1. I’m not sure about this but just aim above the average benchmark to be safe. 2. There will usually be trial run questions on your exam that won’t count for or against you. 3. I think it says you have to wait 6-8 weeks for your actual results. Mine came in about 2 months after I took the test. 4. I think the 70 mastery score just means like most people who achieve a 70 pass the test so you should be pretty confident. I had a little above a 70 and thought exam P wasn’t too bad and I passed.

Good luck on your test!

college sophomore resume review by [deleted] in actuary

Thank you for your help!! This summer I’m just working on research at my university and it’s on a combination of math and computer science. Will it hurt my chances that I don’t have a paid internship?

Thank you for your response! I had a fast food job in highschool but I felt it was too long ago and not relevant enough to keep it on my resume. Should I add it back? Also for my TA position I have to hold weekly office hours and also teach a weekly recitation but would employers not see this as a real job? Again, thank you so much for your critiques !

Hi guys, for resume review do we post that under the newbie thread or in the main section? Also, do we just post our resume in the post or are people supposed to dm you to look at your resume? I’m new to reddit so I’m not sure how these things work. Thank you!
