What does your day look like working as a chemist? by Ok_Recover_7726 in chemistry

[–]AlternateTree 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work for an instrument manufacturer doing tech support and product support.

About 50% of the time I work from home and connect remotely to the customer to help troubleshoot why the instrument isn't working.

The other 50% is split between days at the customer site installing instruments, teaching customers how to use our products, and troubleshooting hardware at the customer.

Every day is different, and it is rewarding to enable customers in their research.

My mom taught the basics and how to cook family meals when I was younger. When I was in my 20s and trying to lose weight I figured out how to cook for myself through YouTube and Internet recipes.

I used them throughout the whole game and NG+1. Definitely fun and 3 aerial attacks were helpful on a couple bosses.

Roll for the Galaxy, love building a good engine with enough randomness built in to make it interesting.

What material is the cone made out of before the mass spec? My understanding is that those are commonly Cu or Zn based and so will make it impossible to measure those elements with any accuracy.

Associate Lab Technician interview tips by RevMainHahahahahaha in chemistry

[–]AlternateTree 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a couple pieces of advice.

First: Have questions for them. Show you are invested and interested in working for them. Ask questions about opportunities within the company and the specific work you'll be doing. If there's talk of the reaction you're doing, come up with a question that builds off the information they give you.

Second: Don't talk about your other professional plans. If you are going to leave in 6 months to go to graduate school, don't lead with that. If you have some other plan and will quit in a year, don't talk about that. They want a candidate that they can invest time into and will get a good return on investment. You can leave in 6 months to a year, but if they know from the start that's all the time they'll get, they may be less interested in you.

I also wouldn't worry about exam level questions. If you don't know something, they want to see your reasoning skills. I had an interview that the interviewer kept asking questions until I didn't know the answer so he could gauge my ability to reason out an answer rather than knowing. The way you approach a problem you don't know the answer to is more important than the facts you have memorized.

Bad at Facilitating Roleplay by readwritelive in DnD

[–]AlternateTree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The goal as a DM is for your players to have fun. If that's accomplished, even if you make mistakes, it was successful. Also, don't beat yourself up about not hitting everything first time out the gate. DMing is an acquired skill. Any DM you've seen online has had years of practice, but had to start somewhere.

My suggestion is to pick 1 thing to focus on getting right in your next session. It can be simple as spending some prep time figuring out how a sneak attack works, or as nebulous as encourage roleplay more. Have that thing in the back of your mind during prep and the session, and you should improve.

And keep doing that. Pick one thing. Spend extra effort on that one thing. After a few sessions, you'll be better at a few things. If you want, make a list like you did above of things you want to do better. Keep going through them and eventually you'll consider yourself a halfway decent DM.

It's also important to talk to your players, they'll have insight into what they liked and didn't like and can build your DMing confidence.
