ACS Career Services

Career Workshops will be offered that will specifically help experienced chemical professionals or younger members and students on career development, valuable lessons in the work place, as well as unique insight on the job market. The following workshops will be presented as well as individual resume review appointments on October 2, 2008.

9:00 AM – Job Searching Strategies. 
This session first addresses employment trends and professional values (assessing yourself). Then, the process of networking is explored: who is your network, how to expand it, and lastly the benefits of informational interviewing.

10:00 AM – Résumé Preparation for the Chemical Professional. 
Your résumé is a personal introduction and leaves an impression. Learn which personal data format is right for your “marketing plan,” and construct a winning résumé.

11:00 AM – Interviewing Skills for the Chemical Professional.
Many job seekers think their work ends once an interview is secured. Think again! This session will examine the interview process, types of interviews, frequently asked questions, and how to evaluate an offer.

A consultant will also be available to provide resume reviews and career assistance. Individual 30 minute resume reviews will be offered. You must bring a copy of your resume. Sign-up will be available at meeting registration.

These services are free and available to ACS members, national affiliates and student affiliates.  For questions regarding these services, please contact Garretta Rollins at 202-872-6209 or g_rollins@acs.org.
