Non-September intakes

Hi

I am considering a career change from IT to being an Actuary. As I work for a small company, a considerable portion of my salary comes as bonus/profit share at calendar year end. Admittedly if you compare this to a lifetime's salary, my bonus is a drop in the ocean. However, I would be interested to know if there are any London-based Actuarial firms that take people on in March/April as well as the usual September/October intake, as this would be the optimal time for me to start.

Many thanks

Jon
 
My advice would be to speak to an actuarial recruitment firm - they will be able to point you towards companies that do take in graduates at different times during the year. Try the Actuary magazine (www.the-actuary.org.uk) for contact details.

And if you get the interview - be greatful that you don't have to sit through one of the graduate recruitment days and compete with hundreds of graduates for a few select positions!

Good luck!
:D
 
Firms are always on the look-out for people that fit their bill. Some new people could leave anytime realising they've made a huge mistake. OK not often but you can't rule it out.

Also, remember many people look for jobs after graduation so there is already a 'non-Sep' market out there.

Just give it a whirl & I agree agencies can be a good way forward but if there is a co you are really keen on, sometimes the direct approach impresses.

Happy hunting!
