Position:
Mathematical Statistician
Employer:
US Census Bureau
Job description:
Analyzing data captured during the Decennial Census and other surveys
conducted. Writing programs to analyze data. Writing reports to summarize
results.
Salary range:
$41,000
Job satisfaction:
I really enjoy my job. There are so many ways to advance in my career.
There are also so many different divisions to choose from so one has
endless opportunities to try her hand at different things.
Employment history:
Employment history: I worked at SunCom as a Wireless Sales Specialist
for a few months after I graduated. I then moved on to working at
the Census Bureau.
Suggestions for students:
Don't give up! I was very discouraged as graduation was vastly approaching
and I didn't have a job yet. If you are religious, be prayerful. Also,
be persistant in your search. I wouldn't let a day go by that I wasn't
on Monster.com, checking DawgTrak or just searching company websites.
Interships:
The Census Bureau does offer summer internships. Check the website
at www.census.gov.
Miscellaneous comments:
Suggestions for improvement:
Teachers and advisors could be more aware of scholarships, internships
and opportunities that students can take advantage of. For minorities,
I encourage researching INROADS, Inc. It is a good resource for
getting into corporate America and getting an internship.
Willing to be contacted:
Yes
