Dang. Hope they call you back soon. I worked on my experience description in short spurts. It was pretty tough because I’ve changed companies and a lot of my experience is based on what I can remember. Probably took a week to write itI'm still muddling through my work experience. But it's ok since I'm waiting on VT to return my email about my FE/EIT. Because I took it so long ago, it doesn't show up in my NCEES portal and I can't request verification of it through my VT portal...
I emailed since my experience calling VT previously wasn't great either.Dang. Hope they call you back soon. I worked on my experience description in short spurts.

Depends on how many hours a week you work lolshould your contact information with ncees be your home address or work address?
I didn't list all of mine - there would be 100 projects (my internal resume is 6 pages).You don't have to list all your projects either. Just have to show that during your entire time you were gaining experience.
Yeah. They're not interested in seeing just a few big projects. They want to see that you were actively engaged in engineering during your entire time in the role.I didn't list all of mine - there would be 100 projects (my internal resume is 6 pages).
I went with 4 big ones that showed knowledge, responsibility, and experience gains.
But I somehow need to trim even more words to get additional projects in there to cover the last 8.5 years.
One of the projects was a 5 year program I was involved in - so I lead with that as my experience grew there.Yeah. They're not interest in seeing just a few big projects. They want to see that you were actively engaged in engineering during your entire time in the role.
So 5 smaller projects that span the entire time, trump 1 big project that lasted only a year.
Since it's engineers that are reviewing this, I kept it very factual. Like, "[Project Name], [Location], [Project bullet points], [Project time-frame]"One of the projects was a 5 year program I was involved in - so I lead with that as my experience grew there.
this is the downside of consulting, so many projects lol
I guess I could've asked this first. Did you include any dates on the projects?So I submitted my experience last week. I had two editors: a coworker and my best friend who does editing.
I came in 6 words under the limit. And I got an email from NCEES with comments:
"Please revise PROJECTS section to include duration of involvement with each project. If the projects included do not span the entire duration of this record, please add addition projects along with your engineering tasks completed for each."
So do they want years? Like "I did project 1 for 5 years" or do they want "I did Project 1 from 2011-2016"?
Because if I add in "2011-2016", I'll have a "gap" on my record of 2 years. I still did work in that time but it was smaller projects that included the same tasks as the big projects I listed.
nope which was clearly wrong lolI guess I could've asked this first. Did you include any dates on the projects?
OOOOOOOOOHhhhhhhh. My bad. I was assuming you had some dates but they were looking for more projects. I think if you add the dates you will be good even with the "gaps." The tasks & responsibilities section helps give them an understanding of what you do on a daily basis.nope which was clearly wrong lol
When you submit your references and your work experience to NCEES, your references and supervisor(s) will receive an email with a link directing them to the information on which they need to sign-off. It typically takes only a few minutes to review and complete the requested information (in case you need to nudge someone).when you submit references for NCESS... do they require the referencees to send something in? I just used 3 reference for my Texas state board application and they were required to send some stuff in and sign and envelope and tape over their signature. I would hate to bother these same referencees again and annoy the crap out of them all over again.
The references just complete an online form. I've been a reference for someone and it was really simple.when you submit references for NCESS... do they require the referencees to send something in?
