I would be insulted. I AM insulted for you. The job market seems to be unfreezing... for a while there I was in the same boat: no interviews, calls, nothing december-early march. Then all of the sudden it began... lots of interviews. I say hang in there a little while longer and find something...
It's kind of unfortunate they put "technology" at the end of the degree name. I automatically assume it's an associate's degree or technical school degree (like Devry) when I see that. That's my problem but I'm sure other people have it too. Maybe dropping the "technology" would be good idea...
I've always wanted to move to NYC as well, Manhattan or Brooklyn, and did a fair amount of job searching. Only engineering that seems to exist is architectural, MEP, and HVAC stuff. What you would expect is needed to keep the buildings working. Not terribly exciting stuff but I guess you can't...
Flow over by a frictionless fluid over any shape creates zero drag. Drag comes from skin friction and pressure distribution over the body.
A fluid flowing flowing a long a gently curved surface generally stays "attached" to the surface until the boundary later has grown large and the main flow...
Yes, it is disheartening to see so many job postings for engineers with "5-10 year's experience" or "10+ years experience". You'd think that the distribution would be more like a pyramid, with the number of entry level positions greater than senior-level. Not really so.
I feel like the people...
I've run into sites that ask you for previous salaries as well and think it's absolutely beyond the pale. You could always fill in $0 or $999999 but then I'm sure your application would be screened out by the HR trolls. I have a feeling that any company that would act in this manner wouldn't be...
I'm glad to hear that it's not a terrible idea. I think I'm going to do it. Being a liaison engineer would be great, but I need to learn to speak Mandarin fluently. I already speak a bit but living there is the only way to be fluent. I don't want to be one of those people who always thinks the...
A really good book to look at would be Saad's compressible fluid flow. It really goes deep into the algebra of getting one ratio like static to stagnation pressure in terms of another and contains lots of information that was useful in solving problems in my compressible flow class which used a...
I've been unemployed for a little over 2 months (after being fired) and of course things are dismal. I'm 27 and with only 2 years of experience and a B.S. s in Aerospace and Physics. I'm a big believer in doing something rather than being unemployed, both because being unemployed tends to sap...
