About two weeks ago I sent a resume to Coventry Health Care in Downers Grove, IL for an associate actuarial analyst position. A few days later one of their actuarial directors contacted me by e-mail to set up a phone interview. I had the interview this morning. It seemed to go very well.
Until now, when I've talked to anyone about specific positions it has kind of seemed like the type of position Acuity advertised at the end of school semesters. You know, no specific project to hire for, but there are a slew of candidates coming available, so let's check out the pool and see if anyone strikes us as amazing. If we find any really impressive candidates, hire them just because it'll be a good general investment for projects we have coming down the road.
This interview seemed a bit different in that there is a specific project the actuarial director has and she contacted me because the skill set on my resume matches what the project needs pretty well. Kind of like, "Ooo, this looks like a good fit. Let's call him, make sure he doesn't sound like a total loser on the phone." I must not have. I was invited down for an on site interview next Monday.
It's not a job offer yet, but I'm pretty excited.

ReplyDeleteThanks! That's great to hear.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with that interview tomorrow, Jack. We will be sending strong thoughts your way and praying that all goes well.
ReplyDeleteLove you bunches!
Thanks, Mom. It did go very well. I don't have a job offer yet, but left the office with, "If you're still interested in the position, the next step is to have you talk to HR." Which I think is a step ahead of, "We'll contact you."
ReplyDeleteSo glad it went well - here's hoping those next steps keep coming and you get the job offer.
