We offer various kinds of resources, such as networking events, a mentorship program, and skill-based workshops to prepare our members for future employment. Every year, BAS hosts a career fair that attracts over 20 leading actuarial firms in attendance. In addition, to deepen members’ understanding about the profession, the club puts together a case competition written and judged by top actuarial firms annually. We truly hope that our program can equip students with the necessary skill sets to excel in their first actuarial job.  \nWhat is an Actuary?  \nActuaries put price tags on risks. They calculate the costs of uncertain future events that range from tornados and hurricanes to changes in life expectancy. Their work is the backbone of not only the insurance and financial security industries, but of government programs like Social Security and Medicare.  \nActuaries, for example, are the ones who figure out the likelihood that an 18-year-old seeking auto insurance in rural Indiana will total her new car before she turns 21. They’re the ones who calculate how far the worker-retiree balance can tip before Social Security runs out of money.  \nThe profession has consistently received high ratings, as reported by US News and World Report, the Jobs Rated Almanac, CNN Money, and many others. It is not unlikely that you’ll see “Actuary” as the \\#1 career of the year, for the career brings low stress, low unemployment, high income, a balanced lifestyle, and intellectually stimulating work. Many financial decisions depend on the insight of an actuary, making our work meaningful and satisfying.  \nCode of Conduct  \nIntroduction  \nAs members of the Bruin Actuarial Society, all students, alumni, as well as officers are responsible for sustaining the highest ethical standards. Bruin Actuarial Society values integrity, honesty, and fairness and strives the best to integrate these values into our practices.  \nPurpose  \nThis Code is a shared document among all the Bruin Actuarial Society members, and it is our commitment to use the highest ethical and professional standards as the basis to make any decisions. We are each individually accountable for our own actions and are collectively responsible for keeping these standards of behavior.  \nAccountability  \nSelf-accountability is the cornerstone of ethics. As members of Bruin Actuarial Society and students in University of California, Los Angeles, you are expected to be honest with yourself and are answerable for what you say and do. You need to look beyond the immediate moment to consider the consequences of your action and know if you are willing to pay them. More specifically, there are several responsibilities that we would like to highlight here.  \nFirst, when you sign up for our events, no matter if it is the career fair or a regular workshop, your attendance is expected. Your unexcused absences cause losses on both yourself and BAS. To Bruin Actuarial Society, we might just incur more food waste; however, to the individual, you might have missed an opportunity to advance your knowledge in the actuarial world and to expand your professional network, and these could have cost you more in a long run.  \nSecond, you are responsible for your words and actions. There have occurred several incidents where some candidates provided false information on their resumes or during the interviews. These actions are absolutely not allowed","cbCaiq5u9ttadCvf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq5u9ttadCvf","pdf",893873,24,"English","# Introduction\n## What is an Actuary?\n# Code of Conduct\n## Purpose\n## Accountability\n# FAQ\n## How do I become an actuary?\n## When should I start taking exams?\n## How many exams should I have when I graduate college?","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Bruin Actuarial Society Code of Conduct?\",\"answer\":\"It is a shared commitment to use the highest ethical and professional standards as the basis for decisions, with individual accountability and collective responsibility for behavior.\"},{\"question\":\"What responsibilities does attendance require for BAS events?\",\"answer\":\"When students sign up for events like the career fair or workshops, attendance is expected; unexcused absences can create losses for both the student and BAS.\"},{\"question\":\"How can a prospective student become an actuary in the United States?\",\"answer\":\"Prospective actuaries must pass a series of exams hosted by organizations such as SOA, CAS, or ASPPA, typically over several years, while choosing major specialty areas like life, property/casualty, health, investments, or pensions.\"}]","Actuarial Student’s Handbook - 7th Ed - Career Fair & Interview Preparation Guide | PDF",1790493916]
