Sounds like another contractor left and they need the position filled. However, they were able to hire me straight out of school. If you have enough organic synthesis experience in academia, you do not need previous industry experience to perform the job. While my impression of Kelly Scientific leaves room for improvement, everyone I worked with at Dow Agrosciences was very professional.<br /><br />Not familiar with the ISCO chromatography system, no problem. It will take you a morning or afternoon to learn everything you will need to know. I liked the line in the job ad about training on how to use the in-house chemical inventory system. "What, you don''t have previous experience using our own proprietary software? Sorry, not interested."<br /><br />One more thing. Sitting through some of those Dow safety meetings will lead to questions concerning your sanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-15421767949772294252013-12-05T21:08:10.522-05:002013-12-05T21:08:10.522-05:00CJ, not sure if you follow the comics but today...CJ, not sure if you follow the comics but today's Doonesbury seems right on target.<br /><br />http://www.chron.com/entertainment/comics-games/comic/Doonesbury/<br />bad wolfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964719845369935777.post-27198735099519365902013-12-05T15:00:34.353-05:002013-12-05T15:00:34.353-05:00no, it says: we want people that can do the work w...no, it says: we want people that can do the work with little supervision, and will not demand promotion, we already have enough stock for breeding the dynamic managers and now we want the workhorses too, the kind that can be paid in slightly moldy heymilkshakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08188961610554710616noreply@blogger.com
