Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Day to day I worked on a variety of actuarial work including, funding updates, calculating transfer values and some accounting work. This was done using different programs developed by Hymans and on excel. This was alongside working on my intern project.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes I was involved in some pieces of work that needed to be urgently. I was also involved in checking other people's work not just doing.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I have developed my technical skills a lot due to being involved in some complex pieces of work requiring an understanding of actuarial work. I have also developed my communication skills due to the a large amount of contact with other employees at the firm, both through being taught by them and working along side them.
