Even though many of our graduates will have progressed in their careers since completing a case study, they are still of interest to students who wish to gain an understanding of the world of work.

I am a fight against fraud officer at the National Pilot Team. this is not a "world" job since I work at the HQ, we deal with only the most important cases of insurance fraud.

My work consists in taking part in a lot of meetings to get reports from the regional offices on which we can adjust the policies to attain the results forecast. I also receive requests from other insurances' fraud officers usually checks and investigations on clients suspected of fraud.

I also receive requests from regional offices to study cases and decided whether or not the company should engage in a lawsuit against its clients.
My main final task is to prepare training modules in the fight against fraud field like learning how to detect suspect cases.

Basically, my day consists in a mix of all the activities described above.

I think what I like to most is all the research process on suspected cases of frauds. I also like analysing cases to decide whether or not we should sue.

Since I had no previous experience in insurance, I have to familiarise with the law and the practice of insurance to be able to prepare several training modules. But it is not too bad.

I had never worked in the insurance field so this is totally new to me even if it involves transferable skills from my previous experiences. Having always worked "in the field" what appealed to me was the opportunity to work at the top management level of a big company and witness how policies are decided and implemented at the management level and by the field teams.

Knowledge of insurance law is not necessary, I have been learning it during the course of my work (it's been 4 months).
However, I use other skills developed in my previous jobs like doing research, investigations and analysis on cases and preparing training modules.

Membership and Legal Officer at BlueNext (French carbon exchange- NYSE Euronext Group). I ended up working in carbon finance by chance but I discovered Compliance which I really enjoyed. The exchange was part of NYSE Euronext Group and was closed in December 2012 after the stakeholders decided to stop their carbon activities.

I hope to have the opportunity to go and live abroad again.
I would like to keep working in the legal field where I hope to be able to keep some kind of deontological logic in my career.

I am currently taking Spanish courses.
