The next step in the meta-plan
Jan. 8th, 2007 01:54 pmSo, I enacted the next step in my cunning meta-plan today. At the suggestion of a friend, I contacted the UMD Career center, and asked them for help. It seems that this is the sort of thing that they do.
They gave me a phone appointment right then. I basically said that I got my PhD in CS, but pretend that it's math because it would be more accurate. She said to send my CV, which I did, and now we see what she has to say.
I have a feeling that this is more likely to help in plan A.5 (CS/math intersection, programming or something like that) than Plan B (Think tank/policy job) but that's just fine.
For the record, I have almost given up on Plan B, in favor of Plan C (getting a Masters in Public Policy and THEN trying for Plan B)
Yes, I know that I'm over-analyzing. shush.
