Why Mercer? Why are you interested in being an Actuary? Tell us about a time when you had to analyze/interpret raw data and make recommendations. Go through the exact process you used: where did you get your data, how did you analyze it, how did you interpret it, and what was your strategy for communicating the results? Describe a time when you had to work closely with someone whose personality was very different from yours. Did you face any issues? If so, how did you work through them and what did you learn from the experience? How would you figure out the weight of an elephant without using a scale? What are some of the attributes of your ideal job? Tell me about a time you had to research a topic heavily. How did you do your research, and what did it teach you?
