Introduction of "I'm Finding A New Job"

Hi everybody!

I'm trying to find a new job. This blog is going to chronicle everything I do to find a new job. It's intended for people who know me who want to follow my progress and people who don't know me who want an idea of what a job search is.

I'm not really a job search expert. In fact, this will be my first ever job search. And, on top of that, I'm sort of changing careers, and that will make this whole deal a little more interesting.

I was a Ph.D. student in Materials Science. After several months of going back and forth, I finally committed myself to leaving grad school early (with a Master's degree) and entering the real world. I'm not exactly sure what sort of job I want. With my Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, I'm sort of a serial engineer; of course, I'm looking at engineering jobs. But, as we will see, I'm also curious about other opportunities.

Engineers are trainable - I'm banking on that.
