Finding a Job in Mathematics and Statistics
Many jobs in mathematics and statistics are not advertised, because they are with small, private or public organizations. If you can build a relationship with these small groups, you can have a real advantage in applying for jobs. Not only will fewer people will be competing with you, you will be a real person, not just a name on a piece of paper. You might find reading the networking and researching an employer quick guides helpful.
