We sent these booklets to companies in Consulting, Property & Casualty, and Health Insurance.We will be doing the same thing again. Please try to work on your resumes. We will need them by October 29th. We will probably set up a means to drop your resumes in the Undergraduate Math Office, but I have yet to verify this with Nicole, and will have more directions in next week's newsletter or at the Watson Wyatt Information Session. Essentially we will need about 20 copies of your resume (You may include cover letters for each resume if you would like) so that we can make the booklets-final version and all.
