Updated Update - Well, what a difference a year makes..... The same company contacted me again recently and inquired if I'd still be interested in a position. Given the current budget conundrum of PA (state employee), I thought it wouldn't hurt to talk to them. As it turns out, they offered...

First off Congrats! I've attached some info regarding the CEU policy for PA. If I remeber correctly, you could see your PE number on the website prior to receiving the info in the mail. It took until about early March to get the certificate and license. PA_PE_CEU_info.pdf

Any current/future needs for a mining engineer?

Got this from a coworker........first I've seen it! Christmas_plan__detail__and_elvations.pdf

I do not know for sure but I'd have to guess not. If I'm correct, expect your results the last week of December! I got my letter in the mail last year on 12/24 :) Good luck!

Off topic for a sec - likin' the avatar dustin! Gotta love engineering humor....

Takes FOREVER in PA........passed Oct '09, rec'd the good news on 12/24/09......my wall certificate was dated 3/3/10!! Don't recall the exact date I got the certificate in the mail, a couple of days later. Congrats on passing........the hardest wait is over!

UPDATE - for those that care anyway! ;) I decided to decline the offer. I spoke to the gentlemen again and asked if he'd put his "promises" in writing. At that time (10 days ago) he agreed that this wouldn't be a problem. Long story short, no email or letter stating the agreement in black...

^^ I'm in agreement.....I told myself I wouldn't bring too many references but as I was packing my bags (wish I had a sweet a$$ cart like you - would have definitely saved my shoulders!) I found myself throwing in a couple extra. I'm glad I did, I recall at least being able to answer 4...

Oh, and my apologies for awakening Rreaperso :bag:

All - Thanks very much for the input to this point. I'll try to answer a couple of questions......... I work for a state regulatory agency and I'm not quite sure how "secure" it is. For instance, you may have heard the woes of PA budget problems (like they can't seem to pass one on time for...

I did counter offer so to speak and that is when he stated that he would agree to the 6 mo. eval and the promotion after the 1 year was up (providing everything was okie dokie). Actually, health care packages are comparable...suprisingly enough...... The more I read your comments the more...

Thanks! Good luck with yours!

I must admit, I'm a bit leary of undocumented promises. A little background.......I was offered a very similar job almost a year ago today at the same company and in that letter it specified that I would be a Mining Engr. and once I completed my PE would attain the title of Chief Mng Engr...

After obtaining my PE this past October I decided to post the resume on a few sites to see what I might be worth. I'm currently in a gov't job making okay $$ considering my location, commute and time off. I was recently offered a job in industry. The location is commutable but will be a hike...

Finally received the wall certificate and license this weekend! Congrats to all! To those lurking and preparing for April......best of luck!

UPDATE Just checked the website and it has been updated with the successful PE candidates from October......the 5 month wait comes to a close. :bananapowerslide: Good luck to everyone w/their career! cheers
