Struggling to land interviews and offers despite applying to dozens of job openings online
Overwhelmed by all your options and anxious about finding the industry and role that is right for you
Or unsure of how to effectively market your skills as an MSE in your resume and interviews
There's a way where you can find the best fit for you, stand out from other candidates, and land your dream job...without spending your valuable time applying to hundreds of jobs online.
And as you may already know, there is a cost to doing it all on your own.
What most people do when they're not receiving interviews or offers is they desperately apply to dozens of job openings every day and expand their search to industries and companies they aren't truly interested in. But for most people, that never works. Why?
They're doing what every other candidate is doing, instead of figuring out how to differentiate themselves from everyone else.
They're using the same resume for every application instead of tailoring it to each job description
They don't know what skills and traits recruiters are looking for in a candidate
They don't know the importance of connecting with MSEs who work at their target companies
Your self-confidence can start to decrease, and your anxiety can increase as more and more of your target companies close their recruitment cycle, leaving you thinking about what you'll do without an internship or full-time job, and how this may affect your career aspirations.
We built a system that works. Here's the story:
With graduation looming, I had no idea which role or industry was right for me. I had a few research and internship experiences related to batteries, polymers, aerospace, and additive manufacturing, but after my capstone project, the medical device industry intrigued me the most.
Unfortunately, I had minimal experience with medical devices and didn't know how to translate my past experiences to transition into this space. I was applying to all sorts of job openings with no luck.
And then I realized I didn’t have to go through this process on my own. I realized there must be MSEs who have been in my shoes and can share their insights and strategies with me.
This was a game changer. I utilized their insights and referrals to land interviews at top companies like Medtronic, Boston Scientific, and Abbott, and ultimately accept an offer to work at Boston Scientific.
It took a while, but that's exactly why David and I created MSE Academy.
We spent hundreds of hours networking so that you don’t have to. We’re providing industry-specific insights, resumes, and mentorship from MSEs in every industry to give MSEs like you a clear and actionable blueprint to find and land your dream job.
Bennett Smith
Incoming Research Scientist II at Carbon 3D
"Before enrolling in MSE Academy, I had no idea what I was going to do after I graduated, and I only had one semester left to figure things out. I had one year of experience working in a research group at my university, but no internship experiences at all. I knew I wanted to go into an industry role, but I didn't know what industry I wanted.
I benefited greatly from networking within in the community. I got to speak with the people who made the videos in the course, and I got to speak with some guests from the It's a Material World podcast! For me, the networking was the most helpful for deciding what industry I wanted. It even helped me land an interview at Nike for a dream job as an R&D Engineer!
I interviewed at 6 companies: Intel, Boeing, Carbon 3D, Desktop Metal, New Balance, and Nike. I received an offer from Intel, Desktop Metal, and Carbon 3D. I ended up accepting a role as Research Scientist II at Carbon 3D.
I put a lot into into this course and this community, and I got even more out of it. I was always open to feedback, and constantly implementing what I learned to market myself in the best way to potential employers. It's crazy how in just 4 months I went from no interviews and no idea where to start, to 6 interviews, 3 offers, and accepting a full-time role. I would recommend this course and community to any MSE student who feels lost, stuck, or apprehensive about finding a job they will actually enjoy. This is the place to put all those feelings at ease and find the answers to all your questions."
