How can undergraduates adapt to the requirements of work in the chemical industry?

It’s hard for undergraduate graduates to find jobs; they can only rely on themselves

Knowledge is updated very quickly these days; it’s not enough to just finish undergraduate studies – one needs to keep learning more.

I tried to find a job about three times. The first time, I found a job at home working with polyurethane materials – it involved manufacturing molds, and there was no future in that job, so I quit. The second time, through the school’s recommendations, I ended up working with highly toxic pesticide intermediates; I worked there for three days before quitting because it was harmful to my health. The third time, I managed to get a job in chemical sales, and the salary was good... Appendix: I graduated this year as well; that’s how my job search went

Build good relationships with your mentors and supervisors; once those relationships are strong, everything becomes easier to handle

If your background is quite different from that required in this industry but you still want to work there, then you’ll have time to study in your spare time – things like the principles of chemistry and chemical processing processes; in short, anything that can be useful. At work, you need to be humble and bold enough to ask questions; if your supervisor doesn’t teach you something, ask politely again and again. If one person can’t help, ask several others. After some time, you’ll naturally acquire the skills needed to survive in this field

The original poster is good at observing; I’ll learn from this :)

If the relationship between superiors and subordinates is good, everything can be discussed easily. . .

1. Strengthen the study of theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge is the foundation; without it, there can be no talk of technology. It is necessary to strengthen the study of theoretical knowledge in order to improve professional technical skills. At the same time, it is also important to learn business knowledge related to one’s field of expertise, as such knowledge can enrich one’s understanding and broaden one’s perspective, thereby helping to handle professional technical issues more effectively.

2. Engage in thorough practice. Practice is a process of accumulating knowledge, skills, and experience. By frequently going to the field to address or solve various problems, it is possible to make significant progress in design or technical research. This is a long-term process that requires dedication and perseverance.

3. Be good at summarizing. It is important to summarize the accidents or problems that have been resolved, identify any gaps or shortcomings, and then come up with solutions and measures. Over time, this will lead to the development of one’s own experiences and knowledge.

4. Communicate actively. Engaging in active communication with peers or colleagues helps to improve professional skills, as well as to learn from others’ experiences and lessons, thereby enhancing the ability to solve problems.

5. Keep updating knowledge. Updating one’s knowledge is also essential for improving technical skills. In today’s rapidly changing world, those who fail to keep up with developments will be left behind. Updating knowledge can be achieved through journals, magazines, forums like HaiChuan, and other sources.
