I had a chat with two actuaries who are currently in senior positions. They asked me a mix of typical and unusual questions, switching between French and English because the job needs both languages. It really felt more like a casual conversation, everyone was super nice. Afterward, there was a brief assessment about my pension fund knowledge and a personality test.

I applied through my school's co-op website. I got an email asking me to call back on a specific day to the Toronto office. I think this was the phone screening. The person on the phone asked me some general questions, and then told me I was a good fit. A few days later, my co-op advisor told me I had an interview at the Vancouver office.

  • Which SOA track do you plan on pursuing?
