UPDATE: A commenter notes that the 2009 schedule ended with 12 companies visiting; still, that's less than 2008. (Man, I wish that weren't the case.)
1. HELPING CHEMISTS FIND JOBS IN A TOUGH MARKET. 2. TOWARDS A QUANTITATIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE QUALITY OF THE CHEMISTRY JOB MARKET.
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.

(*For the literal-minded, this is a joke. Mostly.)
At the website I count 13 companies (although AZ held no individual interviews). I guess 5 companies were added after your compilation. Still, visits don't guarantee jobs.

ReplyDeleteYou're right! They added BI, Conoco Phillips, Milliken and Hybrid Silica.
I didn't count AZ (as I previously noted), 'cause they weren't interviewing.
Still, 12 is less than 2008's 21 recruiters.
