How to tailor your resume for a Actuary role

1. Put exam status in the header, matching the credential the posting names; every actuarial reader sorts by this line before anything else on the resume.
2. Specify your practice area and what your work fed, matching the posting's stated focus, pricing, reserving, valuation; a generic actuarial bullet tells them nothing about your desk.
3. Name your tools with real usage, matching any software the posting lists; modeling depth is what separates candidates who otherwise share the same exam count.
4. Move applied work above exam status once the header line is set; the exams open the door, and the reader still wants to see the desk you actually sat at.

Referred candidates are roughly 40 times more likely to reach an interview than cold applicants. (referral-to-interview research)

Start with the version a recruiter opens right now, then make these moves against it.
