Finding a Job. Part III


Here is a resume, about the "top 10 online job searching tips" that I used in my job searching experience.
  1. I think that's a great idea not simply posting my resume on a Web site, but to design an easily-navigable Web site or online portfolio where recruiters can read about my goals, experience and obtain contact information.
  2. I goggled myself and decided to better up my info, and postings that may drag attention to potential employers.
  3. I checked options by region, industry and duration, salary and areas of work.
  4. After applying for the posted job opening, one of the best strategies is to target that company or industry and then contact the hiring manager.
  5. Another excellent idea is to visit your industry's national or regional Web site, where you can find jobs in your field that might not appear on a national job board.
  6. I don't really care for online recruiters, i rather to look by myself, and learn what are companies looking for now days.
  7. Utilize video resumes is also a great idea, it shows versatility and that I'm tehcnology friendly.
  8. I Ran queries. Enter a query that describes the exact kind of job you're seeking and you may find more resources you wouldn't find otherwise.
  9. I like the idea to Utilize job alerts. Most job boards have features that allow you to sign up to receive e-mail alerts about newly available jobs that match your chosen criteria.
  10. And i fing very usefull to connect with professional networking sites.

What is Industrial Engineering?


A branch of engineering dealing with the design, development, and implementation of integrated systems of humans, machines, and information resources to provide products and services. Industrial engineering encompasses specialized knowledge and skills in the physical, social, engineering, and management sciences, such as human and cognitive sciences, computer systems and information technologies, manufacturing processes, operations research, production, and automation. The industrial engineer integrates people into the design and development of systems, thus requiring an understanding of the physical, physiological, psychological, and other characteristics that govern and affect the performance of individuals and groups in working environments.

Industrial engineering is a broad field compared to other engineering disciplines. The major activities of industrial engineering stem from manufacturing industries and include work methods analysis and improvement; work measurement and the establishment of standards; machine tool analysis and design; job and workplace design; plant layout and facility design; materials handling; cost reduction; production planning and scheduling; inventory control, maintenance, and replacement; statistical quality control; scheduling; assembly-line balancing, systems, and procedures; and overall productivity improvement. Computers and information systems have necessitated additional activities and functions, including numerically controlled machine installation and programming; manufacturing systems design; computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing, design of experiments, quality engineering, and statistical process control; computer simulation, operations research, and management science methods; computer applications, software development, and information technology; human-factors engineering; ergonomics systems design and integration; and robotics and automation.

The philosophy and motivation of the industrial engineering profession is to find the most efficient and effective methods, procedures, and processes for an operating system, and to seek continuous improvement. Thus, industrial engineering helps organizations grow and expand efficiently during periods of prosperity, and streamline costs and consolidate and reallocate resources during austere times.

What's Green Engineering?*

what Do you know about this subject? It's new to me. And now that I know, I can say that I'm a engineer for a sustainable enviroment.
Is the desingn, commercialization and use of processes, and products, that are feasible and economical, while:


  • Reducing the generation of pollution at the source.

  • Minimizing the risk to human healt and enviroment.

  • Use life cycle thinking in all engineering activities.

  • Strive to prevent waste.

  • Minimize depletion of natural resources.
