Consultant

LCP

Before joining LCP as a graduate I did an internship at an insurance company in the summer before my penultimate year of university. I actually applied for an internship at LCP and wasn’t offered one. It just shows, if you don’t get what you want the first time – keep trying!

I chose to work for LCP because it seemed like an exciting and supportive place to work where I would be offered training and support throughout my studies. Everyone I met was lovely and clearly enjoyed what they were doing. I really enjoy the work that I do; it’s varied and challenging, and I appreciate working with a great team of incredibly bright people.

One of my main jobs is to advise insurance companies on how much money they need to hold in order to pay for claims as they arise. I do this by assessing the risks that they have taken on, analysing their past claims experience and using mathematical models, plus my judgement, to predict what’s going to happen in the future.

My advice to future graduates... before I joined LCP and saw the recruitment process from the other perspective, I didn’t realise how important it was to be approachable and have a positive attitude. You need to demonstrate that you’re technically competent and have good grades but, beyond that, LCP wants to know that you can work well with others and make a positive contribution to the team.
