The simple way I was taught for data entry was
NOUN, adjective1, adjective2, adjective3.......
The idea being you will likely NEVER be able to get different people to actually do data entry the same way so at least get people to put the noun first. This helps sort the list 80% of the way and...
giasis,
The term you should use to do your Google searches is "greyed out" or "gray" if you spelling preference leans that way. You will find lots of information about what industries are facing that problem and how they are dealing it.
My take on your question is this:
You are not going to...
I had a job as a design engineer lined up before I graduated. However, I had also been working full time for two years prior to graduation as a Product Engineer and had 5 quarters of co-op experience with a natural gas utility engineering department prior to that. The result was it took me 6...
When the OP mentions the guy who got the position having "no experience and no skill-set" I can't help but wonder if there is more to the story. Did the guy who get it have a master's degree, or perhaps some other background experience that will fit the position better once he is trained in the...
NEVER resort to passive aggressive actions at work. It requires the people you are doing them for to pay extra attention to you and the results of that may not be pleasant.
If you want to work less hours, then work less hours but don't do it with the "hope" that you will get management's...
Reference books like Marks', Roark's, Blodgett, etc I always buy myself. Code books I would expect to be purchased by the employer unless it was made clear at the outset that a part of my salary was a "code book allowance", sort of like a "car allowance" for salesmen.
Personally I'd view an...
Congrats Techne!
How did your 'old employer' take the news you're leaving? Did they suddenly develop an intense desire to keep you or are they used to people 'escaping into the lifeboats' so to speak?

I forgot to add, I would also check out Project Management certification from the Project Management Institute. Since you are already doing PM accumulating the requisites would be fairly straightforward. Having the PM certifications would in many cases be just as valuable as the Masters degree...
I'd say #1 solidifies your qualifications should you need to switch employers since your degree is unrelated. Prior experience is in lieu of a degree will often not get past HR staff at a new company even though the 'people in charge' would likely see the value of what you bring to the...
First jobs are often like that due to the variety of uses companies put engineers to. Is it the best use of your ability? Maybe not, but since they sign the checks they make the rules.
That being said however, engineers should keep their resume updated and visible because even if you are...
We have gone through several "approved vendor" processes and I can't remember ever paying a fee. At most some municipalities might charge a $40 fee for paperwork or something but nothing of the scale you are talking about. I have heard of would-be vendors having to pay the cost of an auditor...
Of course you bring it up!
However don't be unprofessional about it. Ask for a meeting of the concerned parties, explain the assumptions you had and request explicit clarification of the actual working relationship. One thing you need to learn as middle management or upper management is...
Travis,
That looks right except you left out the h^3 term (from the MoI of the rectangle about its own centroid) in your first line. I assume you want to show it there because you don't remove the h terms until the next step so it should appear until then.
Also you would be well served by...
I wasn't really referring that that aspect :)
I was just curious if holding any of those other titles had any effect on you getting an interview is all. Point being did the recruiter contact you because of those other roles or just the simple mechanical engineering skills? I guess I was...
"I have a job interview today"
Just out of curiosity, what did you advertise yourself as? You said you had several titles, Quality Analyst, Manf Eng, Mechanical Eng, etc.
