Practical preparation for this opportunity
The following is Reign Gigs editorial guidance, not extra employer requirements or a prediction of the selection process.
Make an academic project understandable
Choose one actuarial or statistical assignment that you can explain without relying on its title. Describe the question, the dataset, the method you selected and the checks you performed. For example, if you compared forecasting approaches, explain why the comparison mattered and what the results could not establish. Use genuine figures where you have them; do not manufacture a percentage improvement to make an ordinary project sound impressive.
Prepare to discuss judgement, not just calculations
For your own interview preparation, practise explaining a model to someone who has not studied actuarial science. Separate an observed pattern from an assumption and explain how missing or unusual data could affect the answer. A useful exercise is to revisit an assignment and identify one limitation you would investigate with more time. This demonstrates the way you think without suggesting that Bestmed has prescribed a particular interview question.
Keep your evidence safe and relevant
If you decide to prepare a short project summary, use university-approved, public or synthetic data. Remove personal information and any confidential material from previous placements. An optional example should support your CV rather than overwhelm it: one well-explained piece of analysis is easier to assess than a folder of unexplained spreadsheets. Only upload extra material if the application system permits it.
Keep a submission record
After submitting your Bestmed Actuarial Internship application, save the confirmation and a copy of the advert. Note which CV version you used. Check your inbox and spam folder for recruitment messages, and respond through the employer’s stated channel if more information is requested.
A useful final CV check
Read the CV as though you were meeting the applicant for the first time. Can someone quickly identify your qualification, your strongest analytical example and how to contact you? Remove unexplained acronyms and check that dates are consistent. If a project involved several people, identify your own contribution. Keep any discussion of model results proportionate to what the work actually established. Before accepting an offer, clarify the working arrangements and remuneration directly with Bestmed; the opportunity summary does not supply a pay figure.
