Hi all, thought you'd like to see this article from Careerbuilder on interview tips - it has some great reminders on things not to do on your interview. One thing I would also note is to remember to dress appropriately. Although a lot of office dress codes are business casual, when in doubt remember you are trying to make the best first impression possible - a suit is usually a safe bet. -

In the area of quantitative marketing sciences it is often the case that clients are looking for one of two things in a candidate:1) strong statistical modeling and multivariate statistical experience normally using SAS or SPSS2) a strong understanding or experience of statistical modeling and multivariate statistical techniques but the ability to then understand & interpret the insight derived

From our standpoint here we have gotten many new job orders in both Marketing Science, as well as Credit Risk Analysis. It seems that candidates who use SAS, and SPSS everyday are in high demand. It is a good idea to update your resume, contact your references, and talk with a recruiter who

I thought this was an interesting article. I especially agree with the piece about the first year of a new job and most common mistakes made by people.It is so important for new hires to fully understand what their goals are, where to get the right information and what the expectation is of them, even (sometimes more so) at the senior manager level - no need to reinvent the wheel.
