I also want to work at a design firm, but I’ve applied to many of them and none have responded to me!

Bro, don’t be sad. If you want to work at a design institute, it’s definitely possible; first of all, you need to maintain a positive attitude and not be too anxious. You submitted your resume, but it’s not clear when the staff in the HR department of the design firm will have time to check it. Only if they deem it suitable will they download your documents and forward them to the department responsible for hiring to arrange an interview with you. I’m not sure how long it’s been since you submitted your resume; I suggest you give them a call – taking the initiative yourself might be better. Design institutes are not very interested in college students, while technicians who are changing jobs have some concerns; they are in a dilemma.

If you are truly interested in design, start by working at a small design firm; it’s there where you can learn things. Large design institutes are very practical these days; they prefer experienced designers. There’s nothing you can do about it – first, you need to gain experience yourself

I agree with what was said on the second floor; one still needs to adjust their mindset first, and it’s okay to take the initiative to make a call and ask

If possible, ask the employees at those design firms you applied to to find out whether it’s now common to get a job through connections; it’s difficult to secure a good job these days without any connections, unless you have experience and are highly skilled, in which case they might hire you.

Your mindset determines success or failure. It’s not easy to find a job these days; if you already have one that’s decent, you should be satisfied. Of course, if there’s a good opportunity for better development, you must seize it. It’s best to maintain a positive attitude – once you truly have enough skills, you can go abroad straight away

Now, design institutes require experienced people; it would also be fine for the original poster to work at a chemical plant for some time, as that would count as experience in the chemical industry

What is your reason for wanting to join a design institute? Do you really have the ability to do this job well once you get in? If you can figure out these two questions and gain confidence, then call them. Although there are surely people in design firms who get jobs through connections, if your abilities are up to par, how could your supervisors pass up a talent like you! And no matter what your current job is, it’s still a phase for gaining experience. Don’t rush; accumulate experience while working towards the job you want, and you can do both at the same time. Keep it up! :handshake

I have worked in a design institute for almost twenty years, and I feel that it is indeed a great place to develop one’s skills; many talented people have emerged from such institutions. But none of them are willing to work in design on a long-term basis. Not to mention the salary, the pressure and workload involved are simply inhumane; it’s truly a grueling task. Think it over for yourself and see if you can handle such hardships

Experience in chemical plants is harmful rather than helpful for design work; at least that’s the case when looking for a job. Unless one has the opportunity to work on design or technical upgrades in a newly built plant

Find ways to succeed, not excuses for failure. Again, it depends on whether the original poster can bear the hardships and get into the design firm they want to work at; it’s up to their level of initiative. It’s not easy to do good design! I guess the poster is a recent graduate who might think that working in a design firm offers a good environment and comfortable working conditions. However, if one wants to make progress in the future, it is necessary to develop a career plan for oneself; it’s best to gain some experience working in a company, and to read as many books as possible on design as well as relevant guidelines. Personal effort is important!

I work at a design institute, and I have been involved in human resources work for a long time. Here are a few suggestions for you: 1. Have a high level of education or work in a technical field ； 2. If you don’t have any of the first items, you must go to the company and have a face-to-face conversation with the HR manager ； 3. Personal suggestion: It’s a good idea to work directly in a company for 3–5 years before joining a design institute. Many in our unit were hired by companies. 4. Additionally, blind enthusiasm and ** are not enough; a flashy resume won’t do either. You need to let others see your true abilities so that they can become interested in you. 5. For an interview, it’s fine to wear simple and clean clothes. Women should definitely not wear overly fancy makeup, and men should avoid wearing white shirts with ties – it turns me off at first glance. 6. **Fang Fang. Don’t be so submissive. Be bold in speaking and asking questions; don’t be shy. New graduates should not feel restrained at work – they must be open-minded. Good luck to you all!

It depends on your efforts; as long as you have a basic understanding of the design industry and are truly interested in it, you will definitely achieve your goals. Keep it up!:victory:

Yes, it’s generally very difficult to get into design institutes these days.

As long as one is talented and good at promoting themselves, there will definitely be buyers

Are you from there? A university undergraduate with experience in the production line or in an engineering installation company. Come to our design institute. In the urban area of Yancheng, Jiangsu, fine chemical manufacturing is carried out. Professional? There is a current shortage in construction and electrical fields. The process is okay too.

I found a few companies in other districts that are hiring. I don’t know your specialty; there are job opportunities for various specialties there. Please take a look: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-127112-1-1.html http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-140764-1-1.html http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-137612-1-1.html http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-142379-1-1.html http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-142220-1-2.html http://bbs.hcbbs.com/thread-69951-1-2.html …… After submitting your resume, wait patiently.

I first worked on the front lines in a chemical industry company for four years, and then spent nearly ten years in the company’s design department. Many of my colleagues in that department went to the Third Chemical Research Institute, but I couldn’t go there because my educational background in chemistry was only at the vocational high school level; my degree wasn’t relevant. Now I work at a small design firm, and I think it’s fine. In fact, as long as one masters the necessary skills, they can make a living anywhere. If the original poster truly loves this industry, they should work hard and keep learning; as they accumulate more experience and achieve good results, opportunities will arise. By then, design firms will be eager to recruit them! By the way, when it comes to chemical engineering design, practice is very important. Those who are working in this field have valuable insights; consider more ways in which theory can be better applied in practice. I hope you will take every step in your life successfully!

The requirements should not be too high nor too low; they need to be reasonable. It’s better to provide a range of expected earnings based on the location where the job will be performed, so as not to deter potential candidates. In design firms, salaries are generally determined based on an individual’s capabilities.

I work in the field of process engineering. I’ve been doing this for 2 years now. I’m involved in simple design tasks at my workplace. I always feel that there’s no path forward for me; I’m a bit lost. I see people who started working around the same time as me have been promoted in their roles related to process engineering, while I keep doing various tasks without ever advancing to a higher position Sigh.... lost in confusion...

Which design institute in Hefei does the senior work at? Is it Anhui Chemical Engineering Design Institute or the Medical Engineering Institute?
