Session: Transitioning to Your First Job in Industry

What does the typical day of an engineer look like in different positions and industries? How can AIChE help me land a job and excel in my first few years out of college? How do I approach relocating to a new place for a job? How do I start saving money and planning for retirement? Join the Young Professionals Committee (YPC) for a discussion on transitioning from college to your first industry job. This session will feature a short presentation followed by Q&A with a panel of YPC members from various industry backgrounds. Discussion topics will include job hunting, relocating for a job, budgeting, benefits packages, student debt, and planning for retirement. YPC members will also discuss what they wish they knew when starting their first jobs.
