Julie Hepburn had some trouble with the link forwarded on the attachment and this reply, which I am posting on her behalf
I had some trouble with the link you gave so am forwarding my reply to you. I'm not sure about the idea of having a Careers Adviser part of the website because I think most advisers would want information on resouces, useful websites, lists of employers - and this is exactly the same information as the graduates want, so why not combine the two! The Careers Profiles are great, but I think the' Your Career' section is a bit light at the moment, no mention of OR or modelling (other than under postgrad) Perhaps a reference to the Explore Types of Jobs on the Prospect website would be useful here? I think any form of analysis about what maths graduates go into (such as that given in What Do Graduates Do?) would be helpful, and some quotes from actual employers would be good too. Recruitment agencies specialising in maths jobs (such as datatech ) would also be useful, and list of maths employers. I'm attaching a leaflet we produce for mathematicians looking for work experience which has some useful info on it, Regards Julie Hepburn |
