As part of support activities for students and young professionals, the Metro New York local section organized a Career Day on November 1, 2011. It took place in tandem with AIChE's Northeast Regional Conference at the Chem Show.
Anthony Fasano speaking at Career Day
Keynote speaker, Anthony Fasano spoke on the major elements involved in creating an extraordinary engineering career.
Anthony spoke on the need for students to set career goals for themselves, and obtain more credentials, especially by enrolling for both the Fundamentals of Engineering and Principles and Practice in Engineering exams in order to be set apart from the crowd.
He further emphasized the need for Engineers to network actively by belonging to Professional societies as well as social media alternatives. He explained that life is about relationships and that building relationships is key to career success.
