If this is an offer being splattered all over television lately, there is a
'catch' of sorts...

"Free with purchased processing" means they send you a roll of film, you shoot
the roll and send it back to them and they process it & send you your prints
and a new roll of film.

The 'catch' is they process it at THEIR rates, which are likely higher than
you'll find locally...and you have little recourse if the quality is not to
your liking.

	But i have heard the nasty rumors and seen a few jobs posted
that require 2 years post-graduated paid experience.
	Do recruiters solicting resumes consider experience while going
to school real experience? Will the fact that i will be fresh out of 
college matter to the jobs you tend to see in the paper (that almost
always require experience)? Some ads i see seem to imply that work 
before graduation is not really work, especially part-time.

> 3 pages is far far far to long.

In general, this is true.  You might be able to get creative and find a way
to make it work.  Here is what I do:  I have a three page resume organized
in such a way that it can be distributed as a one pager, a two pager, and
a three pager.  Page one is the basic resume, page two has the detailed
info that would not fit on page one.  Page three has stuff on projects and
specific experience that I have.  I also have two different page one sheets,
each that concentrates on a different area of my experience.  This allows
me to hand out my resume in 6 different ways.

My strategy is to give the one pager to contacts, headhunters, and in
responses to ads.  Once I get a responce, I offer to send a more detailed
resume.  If they won't accept, I dump it on the people that are doing the
interview.  I have items on my list of projects that are so unique and
interesting that they are sure to bring up questions.  This insures that
the interviewers will not run out of questions, and it insures that I
know in advance what a few of the questions will be.

There is no rule that says that you cannot apply for the same job more
than once.  If you are afraid that a three page resume might get tossed,
send the three pager anyway, then send a different one page resume.  One of
them is bound to get noticed--especially if it is on robin-egg blue paper.
Don't be afraid to experiment a bit.

Finally, I am a big believer in the 10 second rule.  When a hiring manager
or HR person looks at a resume, you only get 10 seconds to grab their
attention and get put in their "keeper" pile.  Make those 10 seconds count.
More important than anything else, don't do anything stupid in those first
10 seconds, such as poor grammar, bad spelling, misplaced white space, or
incorrect punctuation.

When I was looking for a postdoc position, I tried two approaches.  The
first was to find a place where I would like to go (Stanford) and talk
with each of the professors there that were interested in what I was
doing (neurophysiology).  I found one that looked OK, and applied for
an NIH fellowship.  Unfortunately, the grant didn't come through 
(due a lot to the professor with whom I would work). My mentor at
UC San Francisco got me a postdoc at Johns Hopkins within a week.

In summary, use the resources of the members of your department to
help you find a postdoc.  They know a lot more people than you do.
If possible, find a position where you would like to live for a while.

You might also consider taking a position outsite of academe.  The
pay is usually better.  However, I understand that the market
for mathematicians is a bit weak now.  

Good luck.

And exactly how I am I supposed to fit four postdoc and faculty
positions, three degrees, and one hundred publications into two pages?
(Mind you, if you _could_ tell me how ...)

Back in the days when I only had a few odd jobs and the standard
degree, I managed it. Nowadays I go for prolixity, clearly
subsectioned, and let 'em pick out what they want. Sheez, it took
something like two pages of a cover letter to sketch last years work.
And I'm not even more than a mote above the bottom of the academic
hierarchy. Goodness knows what full prof's do when they need a new
job.

Huh?

While there are a few ways you can manage to get taxed twice on the same
money, a savings account is not one of them.

The money you put in to your savings account is taxed when you make
it.  It is *not* taxed every year.

The *interest* you make on it is taxed every year, but this is money
you didn't have the year before, so you only pay taxes on it once, as well,
during the year it was paid into your account.

The points the original poster was making were correct.

The advantage of a 401k is that the account will grow faster since you are
compounding on money that you will pay in taxes but haven't yet.  So you
have (slightly) more to compound.  Over the years, that "slightly" becomes
a significant number, so in the end, this is a big help.  But you still
only pay taxes on the money once.

Another advantage is that (in theory) you will be in a lower tax bracket
when you retire than you are in now while you're making money, so paying
tax on the money when you withdraw it should amount to less tax than what
you would pay now if you paid taxes on it now.  This is true as long as
tax laws don't change to any great extent, of course.
