The Job Search: The American Chemical Society publishes guides specifically designed for chemists but they will serve any
scientist well. Be sure to give post-graduation contact information to your advisor and Sharlene so job leads may be sent
your way.
| You should begin to create a resume your FRESHMAN year. It is very easy to build upon a resume as you go as opposed to attempting to recall everything you learned in Chemistry for the Sciences 2 when you are in the spring of your senior year. It is never too late to start. | |
| An effective job search begins with networking throughout your academic career. Maintain contacts. | |
| Think you are ready for the interview? Good interviewing skills are important at every stage of your career. |

helpful resources from trustworty authorities, please let Dr. Bell know.
