IRstuff, Stick and CWB1:
You have talked about some very important points on the topic. I will pay attention to small details during interviews. I wish I had a manager like one of you three. Thanks a lot.
Dear Engineers,
After graduating 7 years ago with BSME, I am looking for my 4th job now. Based on my experience, during all the interviews I attended for my previous 3 jobs, I didn’t do a good job in evaluating my manager and co-workers.
For example, my current manager looked good at the...
Space213,
You should start working on your resume and cover letter. Look online for jobs that you are interested in because it is definitely time to change your job. The boss and company you have mentioned above are not uncommon. You have learned your lesson and now it is time to move on. Don’t...
Hello Engineers,
I applied to three different Engineering positions at three different big oil refining companies (10,000 to 43,000 employees) about 2.5 months ago. Their application websites show that my application is “under review”. I have started to think that I won’t get interview call...

You should check the company's website and see what kind of products they offer. What are the different sizes, materials and applications of those products? If a customer calls and tells you about his requirement, would you be able to suggest the right product? Notice that the list you...
jpankask and someguy79,
As you might have noticed, I am not a native English speaker and writer. Could you please give an example on how I can make it sound like an Engineering experience. Like for this one,
Communicated with vendors to order tools and accessories for the assembly of light...
Dear OP,
I took the computer based FE exam about 5 months ago and I didn't find it too difficult. You should definitely start working on your basic math and then move to statics, dynamics, mechanics, thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluids. Try to solve lots of problems in these areas and you...
jpankask:
Your response was the most helpful one out of all the above. I have another question here. At my current job, I am performing the engineering tasks that you described (designing fixtures, performing calculations, creating drawings, etc) and I can use that for my qualifying experience...
I appreciate and thank you for your useful suggestions. As I said, this was my first job after graduation and because of lack of engineering experience I was assigned to perform basic tasks like measurements and quality control. With California board requiring only two years of experience for...
EngineeringEric:
Thanks for your comment. This was my first job right after college and I worked as an "Engineering Intern". I was not assigned any specific project but I was assigned to help a Senior Engineer in measurements and basic analysis in terms of R&D.
Hello Dear Engineers,
I live in Los Angeles and have about 4 years of experience. So, recently my senior Engineers confirmed that they can serve as a reference for my PE application. I am filling out the forms for them but I need feedback, comments and suggestions to improve the descriptions...
Hello
I am a fresh graduate Engineer and started working in this Engineering firm 4 months ago. I am working on a couple of projects but sometimes when I order materials/parts, they take time to arrive and I don't have much to do. I think my boss/manager knows about it. I am not sure how we are...
Hello Guys:
I am interested to know about the next stage of Corrosion Engineering? What is the next challenge in this field? How much have we achieved in the past couples of decades? What are the problems we are still concerned about Corrosion? All kind of details/explanation or even a link to...
MoltenMetal:
Thanks for your response. Your last paragraph helped me a lot actually. Do we really need air in this whole process? whats its role?
Does the liquid move inside the cylinder during the hydro test? Do we need a compressor too??
I know I am asking a lot that's why I asked for a link...
Hello Guys:
I am curious to know how hydro testing units work. From the websites of the vendors, I found that it has compressor, pumps, valves, regulators, guages. I actually want to know whats happening inside of it. If you can provide me a link that has the working principle of hydro tester...
Magben and Edstainless:
