One of your guys is a drug dealer and that is their signal.

Hi, I am someone who has a Ph.D in pure math, and am interested in becoming a quant myself. I imagine it would easier if my degree were in probability/statistics/economics. My question for you is: What actions would, in your opinion, give me the best odds of being hired as a quant? I have filled out some applications, but have gotten exactly one phone interview, and no job offers.

My current plans are to study some portfolio theory, refresh myself on probability and statistics, that sort of thing. Anything else? Are there any helpful books you would recommend? Are there certifications you can get that would make me a better candidate? Thanks for your time.
