The below opportunity e-mail was circulated through the UBC Math Club. I thought I’d pass it on here too.
Basically, the company where she works, API Asset Performance Inc, is looking for a junior/entry analyst who can use statistical data to inform the services which the company provides. Essentially, the person who is hired needs to understand data and statistics because they’ll be using them a lot.
Someone who just graduated from UBC (or is about to graduate) would be perfect for this position because of their numeric and problem-solving abilities. Because of the work that they’d be doing, an organized, meticulous person would be ideal because time management is important because lots of little projects will be undertaken at the same time (with deadlines all near each other). The company favours people who have strong written and verbal English and computer skills (Excel and VBA).
This is the kind of job that would be good for someone looking to work in finance or business and has a background in mathematics, statistics or economics, because this is a great place to build their understanding of the industry. If someone is considering getting a CFA (or related) designation, the company also looks favourably upon this because it shows that an applicant is interested in the field.
Anyone who is interested should email their resume and cover letter to the attention of the Office Manager at jobs@apiasset.com with the subject line ANALYST APPLICATION.
Is there anything else you’d like to know? If so, just ask! Also, some people may want to apply just for the interview experience!
). I wasn’t able to go last year because tickets sold out. This year I bought tickets the day they came out to make sure I got a seat. As it was, tickets didn’t sell out this year… …oh well. Anyhow, I just thought I’d briefly summarize what happened at the event.
