About the role
An actuarial consulting intern supports data preparation, calculations and checks for insurance, pensions or other long-term financial questions. The panel wants strong numerical foundations, tidy spreadsheet habits and someone who can learn from review without hiding uncertainty.
How to prepare
- Refresh probability, expected values, interest calculations and basic statistical summaries.
- Practise checking a dataset for missing values, duplicates, impossible entries and inconsistent definitions.
- Build a small spreadsheet model with labelled assumptions, clear formulas and independent reasonableness checks.
- Prepare a concise explanation of a quantitative project and your personal contribution.
- Practise describing a technical result without relying on actuarial terminology.
Common mistakes
- Starting calculations before checking what each field means and whether the data is usable.
- Quoting a formula without explaining why it fits the question.
- Hard-coding assumptions throughout a spreadsheet instead of placing them in a clear input area.
- Giving a precise answer without discussing missing data or uncertainty.
