U.S SUMMER TRAINEE PROGRAM (SWEDISH GRADUATE STUDENTS)

The Summer Trainee program is a group of graduate students from the schools of
Mechanical and Chemical Engineering and from the school of Industrial Engineering
& Management at Chalmers University of Technology. The members will receive their
MS degree in 1-2 years. The members of the program (now in its 30th consecutive
year) find international cooperation both important and stimulating and hope to
encourage trade and cultural relations between the United States and Scandinavia.


Chalmers University of Technology, a state university founded in 1829, is located 
in Gothenburg on the West Coast of Sweden. The University has about 4500 students
at graduate level. Chalmers University of Technology is more than a place for
education, it has for many years been a site for research projects and
development and is today a spearhead of Swedish technology.

 
CHALMERS STUDENTS CAN BRING YOU

* HIGHLY MOTIVATED, TECHNICALLY SKILLED STUDENTS CAPABLE OF MAKING A SUBSTANTIAL
  CONTRIBUTION TO YOUR WORK.
* A BUSINESS LINK FOR TOMORROW, IN THE NEW, EXCITING EUROPE. 
* A CULTURAL EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR AMERICAN STAFF
* NEW AND FRESH IDEAS FOR YOUR DEVELOPMENT


The members of the program will be able to start working June 7, 1993, for a
minimum of eight weeks. They are competent enough to fill in when staff members
are on vacation, or to carry out a design project in a team or on their own.

The American-Scandinavian Foundation (ASF), a non-profit organization, will
provide visa sponsorship through its Exchange Visitor Program. To meet costs, ASF
asks a service fee, based on 6% of the income provided the trainee. The income
for training should be sufficient to cover living expenses while working. The
students will take care of their travel arrangements. 

We hope that you, dear future employer, can find a suitable position. We promise
that our members won't let you down. 

If you want more information, about the program or of the members profile, feel
free to contact us (please find email address below).


IMPORTANT!
Three of the members (among them myself) are graduate students in Automation
Engineering. The program started in 1986 to meet demands from the Swedish
Industry. The Industry had need for people with extensive knowledge in Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science as well as knowledge in Mechanical Engineering.
The program provides a general platform of knowledge in these fields and
specialist knowledge in Control Engineering, Robotics, NC-CAM and Man-Machine
interaction. I have a great interest in computers and applications in
manufacturing environments. If you have a suitable position in this area, don't
hesitate, contact me at once for a resume. 


WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU

YOURS SINCERELY,

I received today, in the mail, a copy of "1993 Summer
Jobs...Announcement #414", dated January 1993.  It says

"FOR INFORMATION ABOUT FEDERAL EMPLOYMENT

* Call the Career America Connection    (912)757-3000 7 days/24 hours

[I called--no answer.]

* Call the Federal Job Opportunities Bulletin Board (912)757-3100
  or the regional boards (I tried the DC one, too).

The BBS demands a password, and no indication is provided on the BBS
or "Announcement #414" about how to get one.  It seems particularly
stupid of our bureaucrats to provide a complete list of seven
different BBSs that are ALL inaccessible without a password--and then
not say how to get one.

Now I know that the Federal government is completely incompetent, and
that people who screw up telling you how to get information about their
open positions probably aren't worth working for. 

But do any m.j.m. readers happen to know how one gets a password on
this system?  Or has anyone successfully talked to a human being at
the "Career America Connection"?

I stick with white to make it easy to copy, but I use a 25% cotton
fiber, 20 lb weight, bond paper specifically designed for laser and
ink-jet printers (or at least that's what the box says).  It's nice
because the toner doesn't bleed or smudge.  It's about $10 for 500
sheets at Staples, and I print the cover-letter on the same paper, and
I don't mail photocopies.  I don't always bother to match the
envelopes, since most people throw those out early on, but I suppose
one could.

As far as I remember, when I was filtering resumes for a position that
was being filled at a company I worked for some years ago, I only
noticed if the paper looked dirty or hard to read.  I didn't pay
attention to whether I had a copy or original or to whether the paper
was thick.  A time-saving cover-letter (that allowed me conclude that
the person was interesting more quickly) made more of a difference.

    I used to get job listings from such a service when I was going thru my
    pleasant experience (NOT !!) of looking for a job. The advantages are:

    1. It costs quite a lot to subscribe to a newspaper outside your area.
       eg. To get San Jose Mercury News's Sunday job section alone by airmail
	   in upstate New York will cost about 27 bucks a month; and you get
	   it on Thursday. I know, I did it for a month.

	   You can get the whole paper by surface mail for 20 quid a month,
	   but that takes TEN days to arrive in Upstate NY. This sunday's 
	   paper reaches you NEXT Wednesday. I know, I tried that too.

    2. I was working at IBM, which did not allow access to Usenet or e-mail.
       I had to use a friend's school account just to get access to e-mail.
       In that situation, jobs on Usenet are no use.

Thanks, Mark, for pointing out that parents are people, too.

Being a mother is great - you don't know unconditional love until you
see the look on your baby's face when you come back into the room with
him/her.  Kids love you just because you're their parents.  They don't
evaluate you to see if you're worthy of their devotion, they just pour
it out on you.

But I want some "conditional love" , too - from people who respect me
for what I can do.  This is what I get at work - appreciation from
people who are in the same situation I am in, who can look at what I do
& make an informed decision about how valuable I am.

I don't want to let my kids down.  I know the unconditional love will
not always be as evident as it is now ("they'll always love us, but they
may not like us"), and so I know I must strive to let them know how
important they are.

But I don't want to let my coworkers down, either.  My kids will,
hopefully, gorw up & have lives of their own, and what will I have, if I
don't maintain some contact with the outside world?  I worry about
friends whose kids are approching school age & who have given up their
careers to stay home & raise their families.  What will they do while
their kids are in school?

It's kind of funny, where my office is located here at the university,
the department I'm in is mostly family people - 1 or more kids, a couple
on they way, etc (30 people, 25 kids).  Right next to our department is
another technical department, mostly "nerd" types - 10-12 hour days are
the norm, etc.  The other department has "cooler" equipment and neater
graphics & toys, but ours is more productive in the University's eyes,
judging from the perceptions I hear about on campus.  Plus our
department has more fun (to me, "more fun" = "less stress") - to the
point where some of the people in the other department join ours for
pick-up softball, football, & tennis matches, etc.  They've even been
known to crash our parties & one guy went so far as to pursuade both
departments that his position should be transferred to our department,
since he was spending most of his time doing tech support for us (we
know he really wanted to get in on our monthly donut binges :-).  Also,
turn-over in our department seems to be lower, and project-completion
seems to be higher.  In the things that are important to me
professionally, our family-oriented department seems to rate higher than
the techie group.

Sorry for ranting, rambling & raving.  I'm happy to see my department
isn't the only place that acknowledges & appreciates the efforts parents
put into their jobs (both at home & in the office).  Thanks, again, Mark.

I can not guarantee that this is true of all recruiters.  I am not
a recruiter, but it has been my job-hunting experience that many do
look at these things.  Declaring that you did volunteer work or part-time
work while in school does not obligate a recruiter or an employer to
consider it, but to many it shows generosity and a strong work ethic,
things that many employers value.

It was my part time experience with programming (while in grad school)
that was probably the biggest factor in getting the job I still have today.

I would recommend that you express the length of your part-time experience
in full-time-equivalent (F.T.E.) years, but clearly qualify this number
with a parenthetic phrase like (3 years half-time).

When someone rejects the value of your part-time experience, don't spend
too much time arguing the issue.  Move on to the prospect that does.
Don't restrict your job-hunt to over-generalized assumptions about what
strategies work.  Be flexible.  Don't give up.  Good luck.

**US Citizenship Required**
 
   A research  internship is  available in  the Reactor  Analysis
Division of Argonne National Laboratory,   located 25 miles SW of
Chicago.   Digitized signals from nuclear reactor experiments are
processed,   analyzed,   and interpreted  using  state-of-the-art
interactive techniques on an innovative distributed-memory paral-
lel processing system that comprises a  network of Unix Sparc and
Risc stations.   Software packages for various numerical, statis-
tical,  and pattern-recognition analyses  are developed and vali-
dated using a variety of software-engineering tools.  Artificial-
intelligence  based  expert  systems   are  being  developed  for
assistance with the tasks of surveillance, diagnosis,  and inter-
pretation of physical parameters in advanced nuclear-reactor sub-
systems.   Activities include software  engineering,  signal pro-
cessing,   and  assistance  with expert  system  development  and
validation.
 
   A computer,  math, stats,  or EE  grad  student is needed  who
has  a  background  in both Unix and DOS and interest  in assist-
ing with  research in  one of  the foregoing  areas.   C program-
ming experience is desirable.   A background with SAS software on
a Unix  platform is  a plus.   Candidates  must have  completed a
bachelors degree,  and  cannot have already completed  their PhD.
Internship  appointments   carry  a  stipend   of   approximately
$1750/month  (more or   less  depending  on grade  level achieved
and prior work experience,   if any).   Please state the earliest
date you would  be available for this  research appointment.   If
you are not going to be available within the next 4 weeks, please
don't submit  a resume  at this time.    There may  be additional
internship  openings in the future, but we  do not store resumes.

Yes.  Use white bond paper.  I've read a lot of resumes in my time and most
of those end up in the recycling bin, that is, all but the non-white ones
which aren't recycled.  Aside from that, I think non-white paper means
"look at mean for some reason other than because I contain information
about a promising prospect."  I, personally, think the formatiing and
quality of writing are most important: no spelling mistakes, good grammar,
concise, appropriate, and depicting someone who isn't wasting my time.
