My dad runs a lab called A&B Environmental Services. He wants an entry level chemist to first work in the wet chemistry and metals department, and then work for the marketing/sales department once he/she gets through lab training (around one year). These are the requirements for candidates: - have a degree in chemistry, biochemistry, biology, or another related degree - have a strong background in marketing/sales; if you don't have any experience, you must be willing to learn - have good communication skills - know how to use a computer (easy huh?) The starting salary will be $20,000+ If you have any questions, or want to send your resume, the address is info@ablabs.com You can also check out the company at www.ablabs.com
I don't think so. They are probably looking for college students who just graduated with a b.s. degree. You can always email them.
I'll tell my wife about it. She's got a b.s. in mathematics but a minor in chemistry. Not sure about that starting salary though, is there an opportunity to advance? I'll tell her about it and probably shoot her resume over, thanks!
Yes of course. The starting salary I believe is just for the training and then you'll upgrade once you get done with it, but I wouldn't ask that during the interview.
Haha, ok. I told her about it but she didn't know if a minor in Chemistry would be enough to qualify. I don't think it could hurt to send her resume over anyways.
It said "related fields too." I'd say she qualifies. Pure math... that's cool. But it's easier to find a job for applied math.
Yeah, tell me about it. She got the degree without actually thinking about what she wanted to do for a career. Right now she's doing cobol programming, which isn't exactly related to her degree.
I got a math degree and I do estimating which is more of a finance/accounting thing. These days as long as you can get a degree in a discipline like math, chemistry, physics, or some other science, companies know that you will be able to handle a lot of OJT (On-the-Job Training).
I would have said that 20,000+ is not a lot of money for someone with a college degree. However, the average starting salary for a biology/life science major is around 28,000, above only a psyche degree. Maybe there is something to be said about the "undergradate college degree is the high school degree of the 21st century"
