Robin Gower replied to Will Hardman's discussion Looking for analytics firms / consultancies around Bristol, UK
"Hi Will,
Don't just look at the management consultancies - many firms operating at a sufficient scale will have an on-going requirement for analysts.
Have you thought about the Office for National Statistics? Newport isn't too far away…"
Robin Gower commented on Steffen Springer's blog post Free Data Mining Q&A-Site (Stackoverflow-Style)
"Interesting! The stack overflow system really is great. The 'reputation' idea really helps to motivate participants to write good answers (and good questions for that matter). I'm committed! I'd like to see the scope broadened to…"
Robin Gower replied to Vincent Granville's discussion AnalyticBridge competition: investigate the spectacular stock market collapse of May 6, 2010 in the group Data Mining Competitions
"Wasn't this blamed on a 'fat finger'?! Apparently, somebody meant to type 'm' for million and accidentally pressed 'b' for billion causing automated trading systems to spin out of control."

Robin Gower said… - As you've no doubt learned, work experience is vital. My first break came when, after many knock-backs, I applied for a job that I thought was "beneath" my skills/ salary expectations. I wasn't in the post long before my new employer realised what I was worth and I was soon promoted. It's very hard to convince people of your worth without having credentials to back-up your abilities (I'm afraid academic qualifications alone are insufficient). You might consider volunteering (charities will welcome analytical support) to build-up your CV.
The general rule for job searching is to keep your options open - keep thinking of alternatives. If you can't find work in statistical/ analytical businesses then apply for analytical jobs in other industries.
Keep your chin up, and don't let the rejections grind you down!
Let me know how you get on...
