Carothers was among the few Americans to accept Staudinger s argument, but he did more than that. On November 9, 1927, within ten days of accepting Du Pont s job offer, Carothers outlined a plan of action for settling the European debate. It was also—unknown to him—the blueprint that would lead him to nylon seven years later. The plan guided his work at Du Pont for the next several years.

I reasoned that if I were a student at a black college, I would want to study with someone who had the training that I had from a prestigious department... That s why I came. .. It would have been difficult to get jobs at other places when I first graduated, because industry hadn t opened up to minorities, and certainly not to minority women. Predominately white institutions had not opened up to women as much as they have now, and certainly not black women, but I m sure I would ve gotten hired, because I ve received job offers almost every year I ve been here. .. I came here because I really wanted to make a contribution. 

A Cohort III interviewee had this to say about accepting a job offer I felt at home... When I walked into the lab, it was very much like the positive experience I had in graduate school. I really felt accepted. A Cohort III reported I chose (a well known company) because it appeared to be a more humanistic company... It was less cutthroat than some other companies. ...

Before an employer makes a job offer, you will probably have to ... 

Once you have your basic resume completely written, modifying it to fit another format will be a far less time-consuming task, but one that could make the difference between receiving a job offer and having to continue your job search. 

If you receive a job offer from an employer, the salary offered will be based on how the employer values you, and that will be based on your resume and your interview. When an employer offers you a job and then proposes a salary or compensation package, that offer will be based mainly on the employer s bottom line—not on how much an employer likes you as a person. 

Immediately after every job interview, send the interviewer (or the person/people you met with) a personalized thank-you note to show your appreciation for taking the time to see you. Even if an employer wants to hire you, it s common for interviewers to hold out on making a job offer to see if an applicant sends a thank-you note in a timely manner. 

Throughout this enhre process, you need to keep track of contacts and appointments, make important career-related decisions, evaluate job offers and if you re like most job seekers, deal with rejection. After all, not everyone receives the first job for which they apply. 

By carefully evaluating each job offer you receive and by making well-thought-out decisions based on research, you will be able to find a job that pays you what you deserve, that offers upward mobility, and that you will enjoy. 

Even if an employer likes an applicant, I know that many human resources professionals actually wait to see if they receive a thank-you note from an applicant before making a job offer. They also check the postmark to see how quickly after the interview the note was sent."... 

Make sure the job opening being advertised is specifically the one you position yourself to be qualified to fill. Specific job titles, educational backgrounds, and skills listed on your resume should all match what the employer is looking for. In many cases, this requires that you customize your resume so that it s targeted to a specific job offered by a specific employer. 

Personal Brand and Portfolio In times past, keeping an eye open for future job opportunity largely meant keeping you re resume updated, and back then, when opportunity knocked, it came in the form of a promotion with your current employer or a job offer from a large company in a similar line of work. In a world of limited work at the core and increased free agency, the wise entrepreneurial engineer needs to take more proactive steps to de velop his or her personal brand, and a key tool toward doing this is the maintenance of a professional portfolio. 

Instead he spared the guard a wary glance on his way out. Is that a job offer, he wanted to know, or a euphemism ... 

Assume that a fourth-year pharmacy student has two job offers on graduation. One is to work as a staff pharmacist at a chain pharmacy for 100,000 per year. The other is a 1-year residency in a hospital for 40,000. Without considering the impact of taxes and qualitative factors, what is the 1-year financial opportunity cost of taking the residency over the chain offer ...

Having said that, we are talking about models that work in bringing about a diverse workforce. As a doctoral recruiter at Procter Gamble, I see about a hundred applications for every person we hire. We typically focus on identifying the top four or five candidates to eventually extend one job offer. I submit that the distinctions between the top four or five people out of a hundred applicants are very subtle. 

By 1996, with New York City squeezing its public hospitals budgets for several years in a row, his work at Kings County wasn t so enjoyable any more. He still might not have listened to just any headhunter. But this time, the job offer was at Merck, as the liaison between the researchers working on two antiinfective drugs and the FDA. The fact that it was... 

He smiled again. Likely the job offer had come from his two fellow inquisitors. He had delivered it and I had refused it. Now I was fair game.

It was hard to find a decent job in The Netherlands. I kept applying and they kept turning me down, so I came to the U.S. for a postdoctoral position. Then, while I was a post-doc, I got several job offers, all in the U.S., and accepted the one from NIH. I originally thought of it as a temporary position and that I would one day return to Europe. But more recently, when we had the option to go back, we first went for an extended visit with our two small children. They went into culture... 

For the first several years in London, Kuroda was thinking of going back to Japan. She had been warned that if she stayed away for more than two years, she would lose an important feeling of harmony and would become too westernized, and then it would become impossible to get accepted again by Japanese society. After two years, Kuroda got a job offer from Japan to teach in a girls private finishing school. The position was only for two years, and there was no chemistry department there they just wanted her to teach some science and to teach English. She stayed in London and eventually got a permanent position. 

Because the tuition money will not be used for teachers salaries, many top professors may take job offers elsewhere, and their best students may follow them there.
