BIG Jobs Guide by Rachel Levy
Jobs using mathematics, statistics, and operations research are projected to grow by almost 30% over the next decade. BIG Jobs Guide helps job seekers at every stage of their careers in these fields explore opportunities in business, industry, and government (BIG). Written in a conversational and practical tone, BIG Jobs Guide offers insight on topics such as: What skills can I offer employers? How do I write a high-impact resumé? Where can I find a rewarding internship? What kinds of jobs are out there for me? The Guide also offers insights to advisors and mentors on topics such as how departments can help students get BIG jobs and how faculty members and internship mentors can build institutional relationships. Whether you’re an undergraduate or graduate student or a job seeker in applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, or operations research, this hands-on book will help you reach your goal, whether landing an internship, getting your first job or transitioning to a new one.
