Hello everyone, I was hoping if i could get suggestions to my res? Im open to any ideas, as i dont seem to get emails back for places im applying to. Not even internships. Im trying to keep my hopes up but as of now, Ive just been in construction (i have to make money somehow). Waking up at 5 am, coming home at 5 pm and studying for the FE while applying to jobs. Im really interested in any role, im just trying to start my career. Its getting tiring to do this, but im looking at the bright side and maybe my res is terrible that it doesn’t get passed AI scanners, but i dont know how to get around that. I would really appreciate any advice, thank you for your time.

Intl in the US, doing the last year of my BS in ChemE at a top 20. Profile: 4.0 GPA, ~1yr of lackluster research experience (no publications, no conferences, and not much technical work done), and a summer internship at a startup company. Experience/coursework focused around electrochemistry/semiconductors.

In this market, I highly doubt that I will be able to land a bachelor's entry level role in the US industry, based on my profile and citizenship. Sure, my GPA is great, but that's almost the only thing I have going for me. I also don't think I can get into any PhD programs that would make it worth it for me to stay in the US, since my research experience frankly sucks. But my home country has a basically nonexistent semiconductor industry, which is why I'm reluctant to just go back (well, that and the salary difference...)

I have not particularly enjoyed the research experiences I had so far...but that could be because I was doing grunt work and standing around for hours watching the grad students do work? I'm not sure if my exposure to it has been reflective of reality. I would probably enjoy R&D, based on my exposure to it at my internship, but is it worth it to go through 5 years of something that I potentially will really dislike for the chance to get a semiconductor R&D position? Should I just hope and pray I can get something like a process position in semiconductors with just a BS?

I don't want to waste everyone's time applying for a PhD if I'm a) not going to get anything worthwhile and b) not going to enjoy it even if I do get a good offer. I could apply anyways, but I feel that no one will write me good recs since I have little/no investment in this path. But I don't want to risk not having a job lined up after graduation and going back home, where I'll never be able to touch semiconductors again. What's the move here?

What are your thoughts on this program, particularly for a Chemical Engineer currently working in Business Development within the petrochemical sector? Additionally, what is the anticipated future trajectory of the program? Has it been taken by anyone?

Thanks

Same as above. What are some skills that make me stand out and increase my ctc. Btw I am a college student

Hi everyone, I'm a chemical engineering student who will be graduating this May 2027 in BC Canada and I'm looking for some general advice with finding a post-grad job.

I've had 16 months of co-op already, so I won't be completely inexperienced. I'd prefer working in something biotech related after graduation but I'm also open to energy or wastewater related jobs.

When would be the best time to start applying for jobs? What are the best places/sites that I can use to look for/apply to jobs. What should I be looking for in job postings? Any other strategies that I can use for the job search can also helpful. Thank you in advance for any advice!

I am a EU citizen finishing undergraduate level (masters chm.eng.) and I wonder if i could find an english speaking job afterwards in netherlands (no prior professional experience). I am willing to learn the language but that would take some time so i need to find a plan until then.

A well-agitated 15 m³ wastewater batch remains at pH 12 after cyanide oxidation and contains excess sodium hypochlorite.

Can an aqueous sodium metabisulfite solution be added directly, without lowering the pH, to remove the residual chlorine in less than 10 minutes?
