Consulting Internships

depends on what kind of consulting. the spots are for summer

I think that you need to be a strong student, but from looking at the resume profiles of Queen's commerce students and looking at the coop positions achieved by UWO Ivey students (undergrads in Ontario), it seems like there are many positions to go around in the summer.

I also know that many actuarial consulting companies recruit Actuarial students all year round because they are so hard to find...

i studied actuary once. for the amount of work thats goes in, and the jobs you get afterwards, it must be the lowest Return on Time Invested profession ever.

Its very dry too.

I'm not so sure about that boz928. A have spoken with quite a few people who have worked as actuarial consultants and the opinion I get is that actuarial consultants tend to work a much more relaxed work week ( often ~40) but they still get paid over 100K. The work that you talk about is all done up frint at the beginning of your career doing the SOA exams.

Sorry this is getting off topic. The advice that I've gotten about getting a consulting position is to talk to your school's career services office and they may know someone who is from your school who is a firm that may hire you. The idea is that they won't be able to hire you, but they may be happy to help our someone from their school to learn the process by which they might be able to get hired.

I got my current internship in consulting through networking (a member of my church)

hah.

Haha. I guess that's kind of what I'm hoping for.

Depends on the consulting firm you want to work at as well.
