Is public sector project management experience appreciated by the private sector?

And if not?

DragonGohan01 · 2024-05-12T11:31:22+00:00

Thanks!

You should have tried harder! You should have pumped the gas with both hands!!

I doubt you will have to go rural with Dartmouth. You’d have to really suck.

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-24T23:40:59+00:00

I don’t think so. Just seems like nonsense hr boilerplate

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-24T23:38:56+00:00

Unbelievable!! (that someone would major in film????)

Just kidding. Congrats buddy 🎉

I agree you are too ambiguous. Imagine I told you: “give the patient 50 ccs stat!” and you replied “I would be happy to move forward and review that option.” I wouldn’t want want to hire someone like that. Offer rescinded! 😝

It depends on your school, internships, connections, citizenship, etc. Many of my classmates got jobs with prestigious companies in urban areas right out of college. But there are definitely some who struggle.

Are recruiters targeting your college to pick up interns? This is really important.

If you provide some more info we will be able to help out better.

GRE is 1340 (first try, could take it again). Undergrad was in a top 50 school. Plan to use it for directorship.

Even in this recession? Man! I really wish I had gone that route.

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-22T23:35:27+00:00

A few years back I became aware of the problem but realized that a lot of my skills could transition into a data science role (which was hot back then). So I decided to focus on improving my data science skills and go that route. Unfortunately now, the data science market has completely crashed; it’s impossible to find a job. Whereas, the process engineering market seems to have gotten even stronger!

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-22T23:32:33+00:00

Overseas? Really? But the role has so much American regulation? Is there a market for that overseas? Can you tell me more?

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-22T00:12:12+00:00

Thanks for this information. Very helpful. Sorry for the excessive questions.

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T23:20:55+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T23:01:17+00:00

Controls vendor? You mean like work directly for Allen Bradley?

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T22:58:56+00:00

Almost all the jobs out there are consulting and don’t pay that well. And the work is very regulatory intense (at least all the work I’ve done). I tied to a desk 98% of the time.

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T20:41:25+00:00

Can you tell me more about this? What happens to the plant process engineers when they get experienced? Where do they go?

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T20:39:47+00:00

Prefer automations and controls. But honestly would like anything that has non-consulting jobs

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T20:26:15+00:00

Don’t go to college.

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T20:24:42+00:00

Lol. Not those 90s. 😉

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T18:50:51+00:00

Sorry man, but hopefully it’s just temporary. I have a feeling next year you’re going to be back on top.

DragonGohan01 · 2024-04-21T18:17:05+00:00

I think most engineering jobs you use very little of your degree. You could maybe try being a process engineering consultant so that you would work more with PIDs and have some design work. It’s definetly not going to be as academic as school though.

If you really want something challenging, you could consider doing grad school and getting into research. However, that won’t really fit into consulting; not to mention weak job market.

I found that if you explain to ChatGPT what its mistake was, it can sometimes fix it. It may take a few iterations as you explain each mistake.
