A lot of it can be economy related. I mean, if you are taking a job for job's sake in a down economy the hiring manager should understand why you are looking for work six months later. Back in college we were told to expect to be in 10-12 companies throughout our career, that's ~40 years...

As it turns out, there's a section in the manual that says "Upon termination, employees will be paid for accrued but unused PTO. If accrued PTO has a negative balance, that time will be deducted from employee’s final pay. " drawn to design, designed to draw

I found some great tips on engineering.com and also on theladders.com (you don't have to subscribe to the latter to get the free emails). Things like what questions to ask in the interview, what to ask afterwards in a follow up. And if you do get an interview, be sure to mention to everyone...

And there am I in my bosses office this morning (he's the President of the company) telling him to F%$k off because he was slagging me on something. Aaah the perception of doing the right thing at times.... drawn to design, designed to draw

I have seen too many MBA grad with little or no work experience coming in thinking they can solve the worlds problems in six months. That being said, listen to what others have said on this board and ask these questions. 1. Does your company offer tuition reimbursement? 2. Does it have to be...

Up until now we have been saving a drawing as FILEXYZRevA.slddrw, then the next revisions being FILEXYZRevB.slddrw etc. The revision usually has been a specification rather than a change in the part. However this falls down if we revise the part because the part revision will update on Rev A...

Thanks. But I was curious, as I didn't see that as a default in 2008. Was a default reversed? drawn to design, designed to draw

I noticed that when I moved from 2008 to 2010 that all my parts open up with the Origin showing. Is there a setting to default to Origin hidden? drawn to design, designed to draw

Look at it from another perspective and start your spreadsheet. List your pros and cons in two columns. This isn't to see what's pro and what's con but to see which "side" you are yearning to add to...that's your decision on what you want to do. Aside, I was recently headhunted for a job...

Recently in some of the cities around Boston they had all the teachers reapply for their jobs. It's a cost cutting technique based on sub par budgets and inadequate funds. drawn to design, designed to draw

I think it's been said above. We are all good engineers, yet only a few of us have suggested going to the boss for a clarification. My boss knows I love my sports and as such when some clients come into town he gets tickets to a game for us. It doesn't happen often, but it sure would suck if...

We recently hired a new temp in shipping. Within a few weeks he outshone everyone in the department. The company asked if he was interested in staying on and he asked about promotions down the road. He was told that this was the only position and nothing else would be above it. We lost him...

Spending your days on a site talking to grumpy old men won't help too much [2thumbsup] drawn to design, designed to draw

Engineers can come across as arrogant and rude because sometimes they tend to forget their audiences. When a sales or finance person stops an engineer to explain something, please tell me you don't know someone who will sigh before answering. If you do, I am calling you a liar. drawn to...

In my early days I sometimes asked myself, "Am I doing engineering work right now?" and there's no real answer. Sometimes during this "grunt" period you build relationships with others and learn how to deal with certain individuals. This are not essential engineering skills, but they ARE...

I think I am seeing an argument here about the necessity of drafting knowledge before aspiring to have a word other than junior before engineer on your business card. What I read from the OP was the following "I am in my first job after college and I am doing grunt work which I think that after...

"Making a separate file of all the fasteners is a kludge workaround. You will spend less time and have more more flexibility if you setup TB as it is intended to be." I agree with you but in reality we have about 50 max. fasteners that we use on a regular basis. It was quicker to extract...
