Job Resources for Chemical Engineers
• AIChE's targeted job board for chemical professionals. Launched in early 2008. Note: AIChE National Membership is not required to search jobs, although members are given top placement in the resume bank, and are preferred by employers due to their commitment to professional excellence.

• Periodic listing of jobs are posted when they arrive from recruitment firms and operating companies by Metro New York Section members.

• Networking at local section meetings. Direct person-to-person net-working remains the best way to get your next professional job, not web surfing.
