How did we miss this, Samina?

You know how we try to keep you in the loop when one of ours gets national attention? (No? Well, we do do that!) So it’s a bit disappointing when our Chair-Elect, Samina Azad, has been cited in C&E News, and we blew right by it. [Also, it’s a bit embarrassing when someone is a month behind in reading his or her (probably his) C&E News.]

During the event in Washington, DC, ACS Career Pathways facilitator Samina Azad presented tips on how to get an interview and how to negotiate a job offer.

We did ask you to save-the-date, September 12th, when the national ACS Career Days roadshow comes to Saint Louis. (We’re still hoping that will happen.) What we didn’t know is that Samina has been active as a presenter at previous Career Days. This article from the 24 Feb 2020 Chemical & Engineering News not only tells, but also shows, Samina speaking at the Washington, DC, event on the topic of landing an interview.

The photo is not great. That vaguely human-shaped object that’s farthest from the camera in a large conference room? That’s Samina. Talking. About interviews and negotiation. You can be forgiven for not remembering what a “conference room” is in this time of the plague.
