Civil engineers who shared their experience and advice in "Explore Engineering Careers in Industry" responded to a few questions we did not get to during the live roundtable discussion.
Here are their answers to the 2nd question in this series of posts:
Today's question:
Are CVs (curriculum vitaes) a good way of showing employers what you know? (Answers are based on individual experiences)
Robin A. Kemper, PE, LEED AP, ENV SP, F.SEI, Pres.19.ASCE, Senior Risk Engineer, Zurich Resilience Solutions:
Absolutely, but sometimes you have to tailor them to each position/company you are applying for.
Jane Driscoll, P.E., M.ASCE, Facilities-Maintenance Engineer, John Deere Harvester Works:
John Deere uses resumes.
