1. HELPING CHEMISTS FIND JOBS IN A TOUGH MARKET. 2. TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF THE CHEMISTRY JOB MARKET.
Please Note: ACS cannot guarantee that you will secure interviews during the ACS Virtual Career Fair, as it is contingent on the available open positions and the credentials that employers are seeking.Huh.
What's the job market like for chemists? Dude -- it's always bad.*
How bad is it? How the heck should I know? Quantifying the chemistry job market is what this blog is about. That, and helping chemists find jobs.

That's because they can't even guarantee the "employers" will be there at all. There's always a couple of booths at these things that have no presence from any company reps. They basically use the fair as a glorified job ad.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. That was my recollection from last year's virtual career fair as well: a virtual presence, especially for any organizations which - at least on paper - employ organic chemists.
