Career Fair, Deadlines, and Coffee
The Fall Career Fair is only 8 short days away! My countdown has begun, and the stress is piling on. I need to start going through Job Finder and determining which companies will be hiring Actuarial students… I looked quickly last week and there were applications already posted!

Getting Ready for an Interview

Family Dinner + A Little Luck = Networking Session
