Hey Cody, This seems like an important question. I do see value in trying to attract interest in the field at a younger age. Engaging high school and college students, possibly in the form of internships, may help busy firms who are struggling to hire in a number of ways. It could potentially ...

Hi Behlah, Please find my review of your resume below: About Me Your first sentence is great and provides most of the quick "hard facts" about yourself, as well as what your goal is. Your second sentence is a little bit redundant. I think you can remove the third sentence entirely. Find ways ...

Hi Sreelakshmi, Please find my review of your resume below. There is a resume and there is a CV. This is more of a CV in terms of length and content. As a resume, I believe that this could likely be condensed to 2 pages, using fewer titled sections than the 15 you currently have. At the top of ...

Hey Renn, I might try to request the certificate - I had a coworker try to take the PE in PA and the person they spoke with there would not let her apply because they chose to go by the date her certificate was issued, rather from the date that she passed the EIT when counting her years of experience. ...

This is a good question Daniel. I have a feeling that it is similar to a wedding ceremony. A couple can go through a ceremony, but they are not yet technically married until their marriage license paperwork is filled out and submitted as well. Likewise, you have passed your exam (congratulations!), ...

Does anyone remember Google Glass? I can think of a few other pieces of technology that showed potential merits over the last decade or so, but didn't seem to catch on in a mainstream way. Some of these include: ·A keyboard that was projected onto any surface that it was placed on. · Another projector, ...

Hi Misty, It sounds like you have a lot on your plate. Undergrad is often one of the first times we come across other people who share the same classes or dorm rooms with each other, but aside from that, live very different lives from one another. It may be the reality that you simply have a lot more ...

Our office has been trying to incorporate sustainability into their gift giving. This year, we received a notebook and pen set that can be used together. The notebook is reusable and its pages can be cleaned and re-used. I haven't given its materials a close look yet but depending on what it is made ...

Hey all, I'm bringing this thread back to life in order to share another resource that might help some of you study for the PE, given the new change in format. I've started a YouTube channel where I will be posting walkthroughs of various PE problems, using the PDF reference manuals provided ...

I wanted to start a light topic and ask what some of the most interesting or funny things are that you have ever seen on a resume. I'll start by sharing some favorites. I myself used to keep a single line at the bottom of my "work experience" section detailing my college work as a paintball ...

Hi Gergino, Please find my comments below. I don't have very many comments apart from some minor suggestions. Your resume format is very clean and neat. If you are looking for industry work, I would consider moving your Professional Experience to the top. This could be followed by Research ...

Hi Palak, Some comments on your resume: Start by providing only one phone number so as not to confuse potential recruiters with too much information. Keeping it simple is best. 1. I would move Education to the very bottom of your resume. In this section, if you are applying to jobs in the USA, ...

Hi Nalah, Your resume is very neat and easy to read. Consider my lack of major changes a testament to the good shape that your resume is already in. Personally, I find that adding a simple objective statement such as "EIT seeking to continue career as a [job title] at [company name] is a good ...

Andrew Kline Objective line: I think its good you have a line at the top of your resume explaining who you are: I would recommend editing it slightly for each specific position that you apply to. Also, feel free to remove some of the qualifying words such as "hard working student". I'm a fan of ...

Congratulations on your promotion. A few basic suggestions which could certainly be expanded on by others with more experience than me. Schedule time for occasional 1 on 1 meetings with your staff - frequency of these will depend on how many people you manage directly. Use the time to ask how things ...
