Haha yes, 64 is awesome. Tried Melee and Brawl but I always come back to 64.
I guess I didn't even realize this thread existed and should probably introduce myself somewhat. I'm a Junior in CS, I main dougie fresh, and I dabble in Ness when I'm messing around because he's fun. Got a house in champaign for next year. Lived in Allen Hall the past two years and played smash casually with all the people there but the only people who were better than me were too busy to learn from so yeah, hopefully getting my butt kicked by Battlecow, Firo and co. will help me get better.
I had no idea so many guys played in the Chambana area but I'd definitely be up for some friendlies with anybody in the area!

Andy, you've been working for several months now right? Sick of vlookups, pivot tables, and indexes yet?
Matt have you thought about working with a recruiter? I'm not sure how useful they are for people looking for their first jobs, Actuarial Outpost seems to have mixed feelings about it, but I'm working with DW Simpson in my search.

Matt: Oh, I didn't call anyone, I emailed. I think many people would be annoyed by a call. I mixed up my strategy a bit but towards the end I was mostly looking for some kind of manager/director/AVP/whatever. I generally did not go with a Chief Actuary or VP, and I didn't concentrate so much on people without titles. Looking at my old job search file, I got a response rate of about 25% on those, and more of them probably sent my resume on or took it into consideration without responding to me.
Henrik: You know what I hate? SOA modules. Pivottables are kind of annoying--I'm creating a new automated procedure to do monthly reports and I had to use them for one part, and it was a pain getting the formatting to come out right. It still messes up a little.
But vlookups are my friend. Indexes I don't think I've ever used.
I spoke with DWSimpson once, and then I never heard back from them. When the entry-level candidate pool is flooded, I don't think there's much need for recruiters.

ok so you email them and say like OK i applied for this job do you have any questions...that sort of thing?
i don't remember if i ever tried a recruiter or not but I don't think it would help for entry level people...plus i've already priced myself out of most jobs by having 5 exams w/o experience

I have applied for this job/I am interested in a job if one is available; I have applied online but I also wanted to contact the department; I have passed these exams; I have done this interesting thing with my life; I would be eager to move to the whatever area...
I didn't make it too long.
But so are you doing something now? You have to work or volunteer or do something, or they'll think you're a lazy bum.

You can do that? This would be something I should look into as well then. I'm only volunteering at a food bank right now.

On the SOA website, volunteering just seems to mean being on a committee. If you find out anything else when you call them though let me know, I might be interested too.
Are you basically done taking exams for now since you don't know if you'll be going for CAS or SOA?
