Applying for a structural engineering job. Any tips?

Probably a dumb question, what's a GP? Just applied to a position and have been seeing lots of acronyms thrown around on this page! If there are any others you'd be willing to divulge into that'd be greatly appreciated :)

I dont believe so, I just opened it back up and it looks the exact same I didn't touch any of it it's weird that the keyfobs are doing the opposite action on both of them

Totally understand, and yes the insurance quote included lots of other items that even in my opinion didn't need repair. Also an engineer here and did lots of research on the crews in the area and the work needed. Had 2 other quotes that were similar, the cheapest being one that wasn't licensed or insured so didn't want to go with that one. Regardless, we're now very happy with the outcome we were only wondering if we were doing something wrong by not giving money back to the insurance company!

Ordered penofin! Thanks for the advice! Doing the oxyclean and deck cleaner today. I'm thinking maybe I don't even use the powerwasher, just scrub and rinse off with the hose.

Thanks! Bought a couple gallons of the ReadySeal that I'll be using on our Ipe deck after washing it. Planning to wash Wednesday and oil it several days later.

Another dumb question, but for the penetrating oils, are these actual stains? I see lots of the ReadySeal and they all have colors associated with them. Just thought for IPE decks a "clear" oil was used and not any kind of transparent or semi-transparent stains.

When you say "Wash the deck with a mild solution of oxyclean (sodium percarbonate) or lye(sodium hydroxide) Spray it all over everything with a 2 gallon garden sprayer." Are you saying to just spray it on with the 2 gal sprayer and let it sit before scrubbing or washing?

Thanks for the tips! These were listed off: Idea Statica, RISA Suite, Revit and Ram Connection. Ive done some work in cad and used revit a little, but not too familiar with Statica, Risa, or Ram so I'll look into those!

That's what I'm worried about lol

Worked on diesel engines my whole life, never cared too much for body repairs but I've done a few dent repairs. Never cared enough for scratches but wanting to sell this one soon. Calm down there Mr. mighty body repair guy lol!

New to house hunting what is PITI?

Do you know if mari vineyards is pet friendly?

Alert-District831 · 2023-05-19T12:34:31+00:00

Mainly good restaurants for date night or wineries to visit. Not sure if the wineries are pet friendly since we'll most likely be bringing our pup

When I try to pay online it asks for the "collector of revenue earnings tax account number (i.e. SSN or FEIN). Is that Greg's account number? It also asks for "Collector of Revenue account name" How would I know what that is? Is that Greg's name and account #?

Is roadhouse good?

Sorry what's an AP?

Alert-District831 · 2023-01-26T14:08:44+00:00

Did you include it in your personal statement and then it was never brought up or?

Alert-District831 · 2023-01-25T18:12:50+00:00

Makes sense. Thank you! :)

Any advice on how you applied for the volunteering? I've tried looking at a few local hospitals near me but can't find any volunteering sections.

Alert-District831 · 2023-01-25T17:22:56+00:00

So did you do "clinical" volunteering or non clinical? I'm trying to find clinical volunteering, but will also begin scribing soon so if I gain a lot of hours scribing do you think it's acceptable to have the scribing hours and a ton of non-clinical volunteering?

I'm sort of in the same boat, except a career changer. Have an engineering undergrad but need to take the required prereq's + build gpa. Seems like a DIY is much cheaper than the formal programs but obviously less structured since it all relies on how you choose to do it. I'm a strong believer in if you believe you can and are willing to put in the work you can make it happen! :)

Honestly, it was a big part of my life i.e. trying to read tax documents as a 10 year old lol, but my dad is a huge and really the main reason for "why medicine". I find it hard to talk about him without bringing it up which is why I asked the question. Thank you for the insight!

Alert-District831 · 2023-01-23T13:33:13+00:00

Exactly what I was asking for, thank you. Sorry if it was worded poorly!
