    Interview scheduling conflict gone bad

    I work in a close knit industry where many of the people know each other, or know someone that knows someone, etc. This happened several times recently with people I have worked with, either me being asked what I thought of them or hearing about others. It is entirely possible someone or...

    Interview scheduling conflict gone bad

    That is pretty much what I have been thinking, I choose to reschedule instead of skipping the meeting believing they had enough interest that a minor inconvienence would not be an issue. Lesson learned is take care of myself first. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

    Interview scheduling conflict gone bad

    Not trying to stir things up, he asked how the interview went and I told him what happened. He was interested in what I thought about the company because he never heard of them either and has been in the industry for years as well. And next time I will definitely have my priorities in order...

    Interview scheduling conflict gone bad

    The meeting was a conference call and arranged the week before for that afternoon to fit the groups schedule. The person holding the meeting is in California, I'm on the East Coast, so I did not expect that if the time got changed, it would be scheduled for the morning, which is when the...

    Interview scheduling conflict gone bad

    I was interviewing with the president of the company, so I'm sure he had a busy schedule and might have been annoyed he had to change it for me. I see your point Kenat about them interpreting that as me not being that interested, but I looked at it from the other side that instead of sticking...

    Interview scheduling conflict gone bad

    I sent my resume in to a local company unsolicited and they called very quickly for an interview saying they were planning on looking for someone with my qualifications for a new position. I had to reschedule due to an unexpected meeting time change for exactly the time for the interview that I...

    How do you get experience when you don't have experience?

    Making the customer comfortable with your qualifications is called sales. If you are not good at sales, then you are going to have a very hard time convincing any customer that you are worth taking a chance on. I work in the municipal field and will on occasion use a vendor that does not have...

    Reapplying to a company that previously turned you down

    I was rejected during my first interview with an employer, they ended up hiring someone that was recommended by an employee, who did not work out. I applied for a different job with that company again two years later, they did remember me, the HR manager said, "so, you want to try again?" in a...

    I really need some advice

    Rhode Island is pretty much a wasteland for most engineering work. Take a look in CT, many military contractors here doing high level design work. You have General Dynamics, Sikorsky, Pratt & Whitney, Hamilton Sunstrand, DRS Defense Solutions, Goodrich...Goodrich in Danbury CT is looking for...

    Bushing groove design

    I don't have an answer for you, but the Parker O-Ring Handbook might have the info you are looking for. It is a free download from their website. www.parker.com/.../ORD%205700%20Parker_O-Ring_Handbook.pdf

    Bearing vendors are a nightmare sometimes

    Consolidated buys up stock and warehouses it so that they have something available when customers need it. They are a distributor just like Motion Industries, Kaman and Allied. The only difference is Consolidated stocks more bearings then the big three and you can usually find what you need from...

    Presentation and opinion about a pump offer

    That price does not sound that bad considering the head and volume you will be pumping. The motor on that pump is probably in the 400-500hp range? We priced out a motor of that size a few months ago and it was in the $45,000 range, so that leaves about $75,000 for a multistage pump. We have a...

    NNU 41/560 roller bearing

    My catalogs do not list inner ring lubrication grooves and I could also not find it on the Medias website. http://medias.ina.de/medias/en!hp.ec.br.pr/NNU41*NNU41%2f530-M;bskvXfk6wZOf They do not go up to the 560mm bore in the catalog listings, so I would think what you have is a custom bearing...

    Adapter sleeve direction with axial load

    I have never seen anything in any of the bearing manufacturers literature stating a direction of the adpater sleeve due to thrust load. They all state the locknut should be on the outboard side for assembly and disassembly, that would mean the motor side for the way we do maintenance here. The...

    3 years unemployment

    Are you working at all, even if it is McDonalds? If not, then that is another stike against you. Being out of school for three years without an engineers job is a red flag, but being out of school and not working at all gets your resume placed into the circular file. Employers want someone...

    The Corporate Gears to fight

    Don't listen to the news about the job opportunities, there are many unfilled jobs out there because companies cannot find a suitable candidate. Companies are being very picky since they know it costs a lot of money to hire the wrong candidate and are willing to wait for the right one. We...

    Damaged Yaskawa VFD is being blamed on me

    You are fighting a loosing battle on this one. There is the remote possibility there is an issue with the drive that caused the failure, but based on what you have described, you are most likely the cause of the failure and you will never get anyone to investigate this further unless you are...

    Are all engineers burning out or is it possible NOT to be overworked?!

    That is so true, I interviewed with a company a couple years ago that only gave 2 weeks vacation no matter how many years experience the candidate has. The owner of the company then says you can get comp time for any hours over 50 per week and some guys get a couple extra weeks vacation each...
