Spring is a time of growth and renewal. it's a time when this year's crop of chemistry and chemical engineering graduates is about to embark on the next stage of their lives, be it graduate school, a postdoc, or a job in industry or academia. It's also a time when the seasoned chemical professional may begin thinking about the greener pastures offered by a new field or employer.
C&EN has pulled together a short primer for job seekers based primarily on employment feature articles that have appeared in the magazine over the past year. This is by no means an all-inclusive package; other articles, including comprehensive hard data on salary and employment trends in the chemical sciences, are available online, free of charge at http://pubs.acs.org/cen/html/career.html.
