I graduated from college two years ago, and currently working in a tax accounting firm. I passed my P exam in last winter, and took FM in the spring. Most likely, I will pass FM. So, here is my question: With first two exams, how likely I will get a Full-Time actuarial job?
Also, where I can find all the information about the opening positions.
Thanks,

Are you a US citizen or permanent resident?

I was in a similar situation (although I had failed exam 2 and didn't know it yet) at this time last year, and I found a job by July. I took me a couple of months because I wanted to find a position in my city and there aren't that many actuarial employers around here. It would have been quicker if I'd been willing to move. Your work experience is probably more relevant than mine was, too (I was a teacher.)

good luck! use DW Simpson, and keep an eye out on monster.com as well.

Yes, I am a permanent resident, and going to apply my citizenship at the end of this year.

Then your chances are likely good.

With just one exam, I think many recruiters would not take your resume. As what D.W.Simpson Webmaster says, it will more likely to get hire as a FT if I have passed two exams.

We'd be happy to review your resume with one exam. No need to wait.

There is no think, there is only do or not do.
