Hello all, I need help with a good covering letter for a job as a trainee laboratory technician. The job is located near to my home, its a fantastic opportunity for me because its going to be in a very interesting field. The job doesn't require experience as fully training will be given. I have never worked in a laboratory before but I graduated as a civil engineer more than 12 years ago. I have mostly worked in offices. Please help, any ideas will be appreciated. Many thanks.

I have a diploma in graphic design and photography and no other qualifications, I have looked into courses In autocad but I am really not sure which one would be the best. There is City&Guilds autocad part time at my local college but it's only one evening a week, I am thinking to ask local Architect and engineering firms to do some experience to get my foot into the door. Any good advice out there? Thanks Alba

I want to spend at least 85?f my time designing algorithms or other technical things until the day I retire (or kick the bucket). Not project management, not business development or client schmoozing... Is that a reasonable expectation for your industry? I am a young civil engineer who has discovered my field expects a project management trajectory and I hate that. I liked learning C, fortran, CUDA and linear algebra much better anyway in school... Thanks for the insight!

If the US has a shortage of engineering majors, why don't engineering firms recruit say, math majors, or liberal arts majors and teach them on-the-job skills to complete engineering projects? Would that be possible in some areas, such as civil engineering or mechanical engineering?

I would like to "get out of the box", meaning a cubicle. Can't take it much more. Does anyone know of a job that deals with the public that can utilize my technical skills? I don't mind taking a small pay cut but I have two kids to feed and need to find something that will pay close to what I make now. I'm lucky, in that I get to work with smart people, but the cubicle enviroment is going to make me go insane pretty soon. Any suggestions?
