Poll of the Day > I need help apply for work for my post-graduation career.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Right now, I'm majoring in mathematics, and I'm looking towards a career in either data science or in the actuarial field. I'm leaning towards the former, but right now, my programming skills with R aren't very competent at all, so I fear that I won't be able to pursue a job in data science straightaway. Additionally, I haven't done any actuary exams yet; I was hoping to try to study for one after graduation and see if taking these tests are something that is worth doing for my benefit and health. So I basically am set on finding general work with my math degree, until I either become competent enough to work with statistical programming, or until I know that I can take some tests after graduation. I also want to seek work outside of my state, so I want tips on how to go about doing that, as well. I've heard tell that employers are more likely to accept applicants who already live in the surrounding area, rather than one who will have to take a plane ride there, one who may not like the environment he is placed in, and one who might leave as soon as he realizes that he doesn't like the living situation. I also cannot drive yet, which will be even more detrimental towards my odds of being hired. I am taking the driving test this coming December the seventeenth, though, so I'm hoping that goes well. I also would need to start apartment-searching, but I figure I can figure that out after having landed some job. Anyway, I'm self-studying programming right now, and hope to become competent by the time I graduate college. But right now, I want to know what job-searching everyone recommends. Is it Monster, Indeed, Glassdoor...? Do all those suck? What would you recommend if not those? Additionally, I need help fixing my resume because my career counselor at school was incapable of doing that process for me. He just handed me a sample resume to model mine after. I'm not saying that that wasn't helpful, it's just that I expected more out of that session other than him Google-searching potential jobs, and what those jobs would entail. I could have done that much on my own, in my opinion. Anyway, I need help revising my resume because I lost the original draft that got me my current job, and had to redo it from scratch. Please private-message me if you wish to help with that task. Anyway, I also want opinions on whether it is too early to apply for work at the mo'. I graduate in the spring and it is November of 2018. Is it too early?

I must have these answers.
