Interview
It was a quick walk through over the resume with emphasis on what skills you are bringing to the job. What did you do over above learning basic Excel? How does that relate to your actuarial work? Details of projects if any. How do you manage your time? Prove them that you can do both work and leisure and still be good at both. A couple of technical questions as well regarding pricing and premiums.
