Recently I have come across the second person in my career who I suspect of having a fake actuarial CV.
Many years ago, my first suspect had terrible numeracy skills and didn't even know what a surrender value was. This despite holding a CV apparently showing many years experience of working in actuarial here and abroad and passing a few exams.
My second suspect is along the same lines. It's just too hard to believe this person's CV is genuine given the lack of knowledge & understanding implied by the questions this person asks, the appalling level of numeracy & PC skills, and continued lack of understanding of some very easy "follow these instructions" work that has been explained to this individual numerous times.
The two things these individuals have in common is that they are from abroad and they are both temporary contractors.
Remember that sometimes people get contract jobs based on just a telephone interview (easy to get someone else to take that one for you remember) or just on the basis of a good CV and "let's just see how they get on".
How can one set about reporting these people? If one reports to HR and gets it wrong then this could backfire on the complainant.
However, given how difficult it is to get opportunities in actuary and then qualify as an actuary, it surely is in all our interests to weed out anyone who fakes it and denies genuine people a chance.
