    Chemical Engineer - Fast-tracking to a better job. Advice Needed

    @rotw Lol. I can't tell at this point if you're joking about my co-worker, or if you still think that he is somewhat malicious for helping others. Anyways, thank you for the advice. I think this would the best way to approach a new employer without compromising my current position. Thank you...

    Chemical Engineer - Fast-tracking to a better job. Advice Needed

    @rotw & MacGyverS2000 I actually took the past few days to evaluate him. No, they didn't. What I mean is that he served as a reference for theses people. He himself is actually looking to switch professions. He is going for his nursing degree. That's the only reason he hasn't left. @oldestguy...

    Chemical Engineer - Fast-tracking to a better job. Advice Needed

    @oldestguy You are 100% with your first two sentences. I would hope that would be the case, but even his son needs approval of anything before things are sent out. I had heavily thought about the sour taste of my leaving for another job, but I just want to say that I've feel like I've been...

    Chemical Engineer - Fast-tracking to a better job. Advice Needed

    @MFJewell Thank you for the advice. That is a great idea, and will do that if I cannot find a job in the surrounding area. I am attempting to stay within the region, but it may come down to having to move. @Terratek Wait! What! That helps improve my chances at finding jobs! How have I've been...

    Chemical Engineer - Fast-tracking to a better job. Advice Needed

    @IRstuff It can be, depending on the job. It's more of a side project than anything, and I enjoy learning about it. However, that is why I'm asking what I should be focusing my time to other skills or knowledge. @MikeHalloran and GregLocock I have thought about that, but he won't let anyone...

    Chemical Engineer - Fast-tracking to a better job. Advice Needed

    So, about 9 months ago, I started a new job as a "Staff Engineer" over at my current job. Though the job title sounded enticing, I shortly learned that it was not the job for me. The job had very little engineering within it, and involved doing more sales quotes to customers who are requesting...

    Cleaning mineral/parffin oil from Barium metal

    @moltenmetal- Thanks! It's very important to keep the maximum purity of the barium metal. So knowing that we should de-gas our solvent is helpful. Thank you!

    Cleaning mineral/parffin oil from Barium metal

    Hello everyone! I'm not sure if this is a materials engineering question, or a chemical engineering question, but I just want to be sure, and get a second opinion on it. Recently, we have acquired Barium metal under mineral oil, and we need to clean the mineral oil off the barium in order to...

    Chemical Engineering graduate who needs help.

    Thank you everyone for the good responses. However, I just want to let you know that about a month ago, I landed my first job in the field of chemical engineering! It's more in sales, so I'm taking one out of ashtree book, but overall, I am enjoy every aspect of it. It's a very comfortable...

    Chemical Engineering graduate who needs help.

    I'm simply trying to be professional, no matter whom I'm talking to or what it's about. But it's somewhat good to know (or bad, depending on how you look at it) that I'm not the only one struggling to get a job. The fact that most of my other friends had jobs made me feel as if I was somehow...

    Chemical Engineering graduate who needs help.

    @ Moltenmetal: It's a bit of a combination of both. There are some interviews I've landed thanks to friends of friends, but it seems as if most jobs that I apply online are passed by. And that's what I'm trying to figure out at the moment, is how to get more interviews. I'm reaching out to some...

    Chemical Engineering graduate who needs help.

    Thank you everyone for your helpful tips. It will definitely help me on my next interview. @ Don, I think you misunderstood me when I mentioned volunteer work. I know that I need the experience in order to get a job, but I was more or less looking towards a group that does engineering work...

    Chemical Engineering graduate who needs help.

    I just want to start off by saying that if this is the wrong area to start this thread, I'm sorry; I just recently created this account, and don't know exactly where to put it, or if it even has a place here. It's been about a year since I've graduated from my school with a chemical engineering...
