What are good job search sites, head hunter/recruiting agencies for mathematicians looking for industry jobs?

    By mathematician, do you mean a person with an undergraduate degree or a person with a Ph.D.?2013-02-27

    @Amr Are you a graduate student, or you possess a Ph.D.?2013-02-27

    (If you are a graduate student, I think the best idea is to talk to you advisor or professors in your department who work in applied mathematics about job opportunities.)2013-02-27

    @Potato No. I don't even have a math degree. I am just very intrested to know2013-02-27

    @Potato Research jobs for mathematicians in biology, physics, ... count as well. I prefer if these jobs are not related to statistics or numerical analysis2013-02-27

    @Amr If you are looking for job advice relevant to your situation, you might want to open a new question with more context. It's very hard to give advice with no information.2013-02-27

    @Potato Thanks for our help. I have been hearing a lot that most of math does not have applications .... Thus, I wanted to see what mathematicians do outside academia and pure math research. I realize that advanced math areas for non-mathematicians ( abstract algebra, algebraic geometry,..) have real world applications. However, I think that one the application is found by a mathematician it is being applied by non-mathematicians. I want to see jobs where you go and look for mathematicians. Do you think I should put this as another question ?2013-02-28

    @Amr I think so. You may also be interested in these questions: http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/71874/can-i-use-my-powers-for-good and http://mathoverflow.net/questions/105495/what-can-an-algebraic-geometer-do-outside-academia2013-02-28

    It seems that only mathematicians think about siam.org -- I rarely see posts for jobs/careers there that are outside of academia2013-02-28
