Hi Jose, To answer the question about your Master's, I agree with you that it would be a good thing to note somewhere. And I appreciate your desire to keep the formatting neat. One option may be to simply shorten each line. For example, on my own resume, it is laid out as follows: MS Civil Engineering ...

Hi Alexander. You have a good resume. It is clean and easy to read. Your format is good and the sentences are short and to the point. There are not many changes I'd suggest and these are up to you. You can consider an "Objective" section at the top stating your goal. In this section you can personalize ...

Hi Brayan, I am going to suggest that you change a few things. You might want to consider having a resume with fewer colors, since these may not print correctly at many companies. I respect wanting to stand out, but its okay if you leave your resume black and white. Your introduction is good, ...

Hi Brayan, I'm sorry but I don't live in Texas and don't have any knowledge of what local internship opportunities there might be. There are some other threads on this forum that provide tips for where to get started, or you can post a new thread and ask about it. Otherwise I would suggest starting ...

About 10 years ago, I emailed a person on my city council asking about trash truck routes for an environmental engineering class project. The council person responded via their work email, which happened to be an engineering company. I followed up and asked if they could use an intern for the summer. ...

There seem to be a lot of different opinions on what an internship SHOULD be. To some people, it is as hands-off as shadowing someone and seeing what different people at a company do day-to-day. To others, it is essentially the same thing as receiving full-time entry-level work. Some of this is driven ...

Rare was the day I'd get through my entire 32 ounce water bottle. More so in the summer, especially if half of it was ice. However, the more you drink, the more you are forced to take short walking breaks to the bathroom. I see this as a win-win. ------------------------------ Christopher Seigel P.E., ...

I've been on a few mid-level interviews in the past year. My take is that the interviewer expects you to be able to discuss your current work and work history. As the person being interviewed, I also think its reasonable for you to ask about the following things: level of responsibility you will ...

Thanks. Sounds like that is one thing that didn't change. I don't think the physical reference manual was much help with concept questions either. However, I did occasionally find something in my textbook that (I think) helped me find the correct answer. Which is the resource that you and future engineers ...

A lot of great answers here. I would agree that most companies will appreciate that you are interviewing them just as much as the other way around. Not only is it acceptable, I would say its preferable because it shows the candidate wants to be selective in their own job choosing, is able to think, and ...

Thanks Armando (and Madison for starting this topic) Did you feel that any knowledge from resources outside of the searchable PDF were required for the CBT? Such as the codes or standards you referenced? I took the pen and paper test a few years ago and recall having most of what I needed in the CERM ...

I imagine that finding the right balance for the seating was tricky since some people might know everyone and others might not know anyone, but I really like the intentionality of the idea. A +1 is always nice too. I don't usually use that benefit either since I'm pretty comfortable without it but I ...

By now it is likely that most of us have been involved in some sort of holiday party hosted by an employer. I thought it might be interesting to hear about some holiday party success stories and some lessons learned as well. This post can apply to holiday parties, gift-giving stories, bonuses, etc. ...

I can think of at least two coworkers who try to make answering my questions a priority even if the questions are frustrating and even if they are busy with other things that require more time.

Now that about two years has passed since this topic was posted, I wonder if anyone has made any changes in their habits?

Hey guys, I recently started using Backblaze. Its a subscription service to unlimited cloud storage for one PC. I'm not a fan of subscriptions but all things considered, I find this one worth it as I think it is about $7 a month. The way it works is that it makes a copy of every file on your computer, ...
