    Job Leads

    Make a list of all companies in the areas you want to work in the field that you're interested then call/email them if you can't find their job listings. Most likely, you will have to apply through their website. If you're looking for government employers, look on their local/city/state website...

    Job oversees

    So did you go? How is it? Looks like some new positions opened up through my job... I think I'm skipping town to Germany by end of year.

    BPELSG's 3 Sample CBT Exam Questions (Seismic)

    I say B, D, A. Looks like we agree on #1 and #2. A for #3 because of the language "is required during the placement of". You don't need an inspector there during the reinforcement work. They come and inspect periodically during the assembly of rebar work and prior to placing concrete so C and D...

    post a photo, any photo youve taken, doesnt have to be a good one..

    Lol Sounds like we've had the same experience. The lines the last two weekends at Squaw (cars and people) were ridiculous. Such a cluster-f. Week before Christmas was the best. At least you got 15 days in. I think I'm barely at 10 and only half of them were worth it. One day I went to Squaw and...

    post a photo, any photo youve taken, doesnt have to be a good one..

    I'm thinking the same for next year. My problem is that I can't call in "sick" from work all season long and the drive on weekends is extremely brutal. I remember driving right at the end of a storm to go skiing on the east coast. Here in CA, if I dare, I'll be driving 4-5 hours to go 100 miles...

    Oroville Dam - Anyone here design this?

    Supposedly designed by the Army Corps and built by DWR. The next few days should be interesting. Various agencies/engineers have been asked to help with round the clock monitoring. Pretty scary but pretty exciting stuff for a dirt nerd to be there and see it up close :) Sent from my...

    Hello, another newcomer, advice welcome

    I think only supporting members get other features. There isn't a quota or new/old rule from what I can tell. I had hundreds of posts and had no ability to edit or like until I became one.

    Hello, another newcomer, advice welcome

    Yes, I passed on my first try focusing on practice problems to study topics. When I started, it was really overwhelming. Gathering references was taking time and I was running out of time yet didn't feel like I had gathered nearly what I needed. Once I started doing problems with just the...

    Hello, another newcomer, advice welcome

    It's a daunting task but it's possible if you can put in the time between now and the test. Some people just wing it and pass and some people need 300+ hours of studying. The key is to practice problems using your references. The All-in-One will do just fine for the morning session. Find some...

    Retaking the Civil PE exam, how could NCEES help us better?

    I don't think this will help you any because I think that at this point the best way NCEES could help is by letting you review the exam you took. I don't see them doing that. I don't see them breaking down the diagnosis any further either. I've only taken it once but I understand your situation...

    Gov't jobs and the holidays...

    Nada here.  I won't lie. When it comes to that, I miss working for government contractors :/

    Passed PE (no experience). Employable?

    The best way to find out if you're employable is by trying to get employed. Part of it will be your expectation and aspiration for certain jobs. Without experience, you can't shoot blind and apply for everything under the sun and expect to find a match. The other part... I'm only guessing but...

    Good websites for PE Stamps

    AcornSales, PEStamps, EngineerSeals... I read through this post from 2015 and checked those out. I ordered mine from PEStamps the other day. We'll see how it turns out.

    Everything you wanted to know about the CA-Survey/Seismic Civil PE Exams

    Mostly the cost and application process. I was helping a friend navigate it but find it confusing so I'm not the best person to explain. This is what I gather: - The initial application is still the same. $125 for application. $150 for seismic and $150 for survey. Once you get the go-ahead, you...
