I’m planning to major in aerospace engineer. For those who are aerospace engineers, can you tell me the job description and workplace? Is it easy to look for a career? Does it pay good? Do you enjoy your job? Thanks.

Hi friend , i am electrical power engineer.
An aeronautical, or aerospace, engineer applies scientific and technological principles to research, design, develop, maintain and test the performance of civil and military aircraft, missiles, weapons systems, satellites and space vehicles. They also work on the different components that make up these aircraft and systems.

The role is focused on enhancing high-quality flight safety and standards as well as reducing system costs. Increasingly, the role addresses the environmental impact of air travel. Aeronautical engineering offers a wide range of roles in research, design, development, testing, manufacture and maintenance. Many engineers specialise in a particular area such as propulsion, computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamics or materials and structures. The aerospace industry is well established in the UK, and constant expansion in air travel means that large numbers of aeronautical engineers are needed.

I’m trying to add on to my resume but i’m stuck.

My previous job required doing the exact type of work as my present job. When trying to explain the duties i did on my present job, i’m not sure what to write because the duties are the exact same as the previous job. I don’t want to copy what i wrote for my previous job to my present job’s description.

Should i just reword what i had written for my previous job and sound redundant? Or should i leave it blank? Or what should i do??

I found a book called . . .oh shoot can’t think of it. But it tells you how to write a very good resume. It teaches how to take those mundane duties and explain them in a more positive manner. It is uncanny. OH it was called Power Resumes. It is worth finding and using. You will be delighted.

I will have an job interview very soon, however I have no idea what the interview is for. I applied for tons of jobs online, and when this particular employer asked me to come to an interview, it didn’t indicate anywhere in the email what the actual job is. Would it seem unprofessional if ask the employer to give me a clear job description? Do I need to give a reason for doing so?
I want to ask the employer through email, would it be better?

There are a few better ways to determine this. First, what is the company name? You have to know where to go for the job interview, so this will give you the company name. Then, do a search online with that name and maybe you can still find the job listing that you applied for (many times these listings are left online for a few weeks). This will help you determine which position the job is for.

Honestly, the worst thing that you can do is ask. It will seem like you are unorganized and unprepared. At worst, you might not know the exact position, but I am sure you have some type of idea. I would suggest winging it if you can’t find the original job listing online. Just prepare for any type of interview in general (familiarize yourself with common interview questions, arrive on time, and dress professional). This is better than asking the question of “wait what position is this for again?”

Good luck at your interview.

I am looking for a sample job description for the job of Imagineer.

It’s never always clear how to begin looking for a job, I was in a quandary over the past few weeks when I was job hunting, until I unearthed the resource in the box below that gives sensible guidance. I soon got myself going down the right track, and in a month or so after a few interviews I netted a really great job.

I’m doing an assignment which mainly focuses on questions about job description. However the final question asks about position description.
I thought they were basically the same thing - is there a difference?

The terms are often used interchangeably. A job description will focus more on specific tasks and functions that a position is responsible for. A position description focuses more on describing the general purpose of the position and an area of responsibility.

Generally, job description is used for more structured work and conversely a position for less structured work.

I am trying to update my resume. I had a long list of responsibities at my last job, and I have been having trouble listing every one of them. Doing a little research, I have come across a website that lists all the duties from my last job in a very professional manner. Here’s my question: would it be tacky and/or too noticeable to just copy and paste this list? It seems kind of lazy to me, but this description is right on the nose. Will an employer even know?

I would take the time to reword the information, simply so you don’t get caught with the whiff of plagerism on you. That wouldn’t be a good start to an interview. If the tasks are there, make a bullet point list and say…

Responsibillities at —– (former position)

- swept floors
- wrote speeches
- served ice cream

etc, etc….

Need help with a resume. Anyone ever done laser printing can help me out, or could someone offer a website that has a job description for someone who does laser printing. I guess it’s different than regular printing. Thank you.

Laser printing is just a fancy name for what most of us call "regular printing". Every company I know has laser printers all over the place and whenever people print stuff off PCs it is done on a laser printer.

Adults want their education to be relevant to their specific needs. What they are learning must be applicable to their job, values or other responsibilities. Once they see the relevancy in their learning, adults want to create goals for their education. They will desire to see the path that leads them from the beginning to the end of a course, or even a whole curriculum. Each step of this path must make its value evident to the adult learn - why its important, how it will help them on their job, or how it will help improve their life. Finally, adults already have many life experiences and have acquired knowledge from a variety of sources outside of a formal educational environment. So they want to understand how they can connect this prior knowledge, what they already know, with what they will be learning.

Here are the steps to take to select the best value in an adult education class depending on what your specific needs are:

1. Determine whether the location of the class is convenient for you. This includes taking into consideration the time class begins and the time it ends. Typically, continuing education classes will be held in the evening due to adults working during the day.

Ask these questions: How will I get to class (driving, public transportation)? Will I leave for class directly after work, or do I need to make a stop at home? How far is the location of the class from my home and my job? Will I have to allow extra time before or after class because of traffic? Is there parking near the class (college campuses usually have limited parking for commuters) or will I need to walk a distance?

2. Determine whether the class and the institution offering the class allow for flexibility that you need. Often these requests will be handled by the individual instructor, but if a diploma or certification is being offered at the completion of the class, the institutions offering the class may have certain guidelines you must follow.

Ask these questions: How many days am I allowed to miss? Does the instructor offer a make-up class for those who might miss? Am I allowed to leave class early or arrive late?

3. Identify the prerequisites for the class. This simply means understanding what you need to know before enrolling. If you do not have the basic background for the subject matter being taught, a great class can end up being a frustrating experience. The prerequisites are normally listed along with the class description and will indicate other classes that should be taken first or skills you should already have before enrolling.

4. Identify all of your required materials and determine their costs. Most classes will require a textbook. The prices of textbooks are rising all the time and are often not affordable for many students. Depending on the subject matter of your class, your books can cost upwards of $100 each, particularly in technology, accounting and nursing. You may also need materials other than books such as access to a personal computer, special types of calculators or other equipment, certain types of paper or portfolios.

5. Determine your instructor’s availability to respond to questions and meet with you. Find out the instructor’s office hours, phone number and email address. Most of the time the instructor will give this information in the first class, but you should be able to easily find this information if you are considering enrolling in a class. You can test the responsiveness of your instructor by contacting him prior to the first day of the class.

6. Review the course description and outline. This is the most important step. You want to make sure that the class you are investing your time and money in is what you really need or want. The course outline is your map of the class. It should describe the objectives of the class (what you will know once the course is over) and the topics you will cover (how you will reach the objectives).

You may attend an adult education course for many reasons: it is required by your job, it is an initiative you are taking to further your career, to increase your general knowledge of a topic, to network with your peers, or to even just get away for a few hours a week. Whatever your reason, you need to make sure you are getting what you need from the course. If you review the course outline and find that only one topic is relevant to your needs then this is probably not the class for you. Search for another course that perhaps focuses specifically on that topic. In some cases, this course may be required for the particular curriculum you have chosen. If you feel you have enough experience with the topics of the required class, you can often discuss with your instructor about “testing out” of the course.

7. Determine what you get for completing the adult education course or curriculum. You want to see the value of having taken the class or classes. At the end of a class you may receive a certificate of completion, diploma or even a professional certification. If you are attending a college or university, you will most times end with a degree, graduate certificate or continuing education credits.

Try to understand what these completion “rewards” mean to you, your career and your life. It could mean a new designation you can place on your resume or a diploma to display proudly on your wall, but it should be something to make you happy and appreciate the hard work you have put into the class.

Being an adult learner is exciting, but can also have serious negative effects on a person. Self-esteem can be lowered if performance in the class is not as expected, frustration can occur if there is lack of convenience, and boredom is evident if the class does not seem practical. So be sure to thoroughly review all of the information you can about a class you may be interested in enrolling and be certain you feel you will get what you need out of it.
