CHED 19 |
| A watershed in hiring practices for chemistry graduates occurred in 2002. ACS Career Services recorded that small business hired more chemists than big business. This transition was the culmination of a more than 12 year trend in which small business hires increased from 28% in 1990 to 52% in 2002. This trend continues to the present. The expectations of new chemistry graduates must reflect this dramatic change in their methods of job search, job expectations and security, and career preparation. Opportunities and challenges for job seekers will be discussed. Vercellotti's small business career at V-LABS, INC. will be explored. |
