I know this is an hour late but I’ll do it anyway. I went to the Baruch Acturial Science Society meeting where they had a recruiter and past actuary tell us about recruiting, specifically at the ASNY event on Sunday. They served subway sandwitches and had sodas. The guy spoke about resumes and acturial resumes. He spoke about skills that we should aquire such as microsoft excel, pivot tables and SQL. He included tips to recruiting such as taking a lap around the room to acan the area, having multiple copies of your resume, making the first impressions seem like a casual conversation and show your enthusiasm for the profression such as mentioning upcomming exams you will be taking and studying for. He stressed the importance of exams more so than your overall gpa. Exams are the most important factor in recruiting for jobs and internships and you such generally graduate with two or three passed exams. He suggested passing as many exams as possible while you are still in school to lighten the load for the future so that you are not stuck with the same lifestyle for months.
