Navigating a career fair for math/statistics majors?

College Majors Math/Computer Science Majors

<p>So I understand that math/statistics can be applied to many different fields. I am getting my undergraduate degree in statistics and I will be attending a career fair later this month to look for a possible summer internship. However, I'm not exactly sure what companies or which industries to approach. None of them actually list "statistics" in the industry, but things like "computer software and data processing" or "financial services" or something very general like that.
So for what industries should I approach?</p>

<p>PS I would like to pursue a masters degree in biostatistics after graduation. Most entry level jobs and internships are more directed towards masters students so I don't think I am qualified for those.</p>

<p>Common targets for statistics majors include finance and actuarial jobs, although choice of electives can matter as well (for example, see [Be</a> an Actuary](<a href=“http://www.beanactuary.com%5DBe”>http://www.beanactuary.com) ).</p>

<p>Operations research, industrial engineering, and similar areas are also places where statistics is heavily applied.</p>

<p>How would one market themselves to companies such as these? It seems pretty difficult since they don’t have the same training as business/finance majors or as engineering majors?</p>
