MESSAGE FROM ACS
A Hub For Chemists’ Job Resources
The Society recently launched ACS Career Navigator, which brings together under one umbrella the society’s offerings in four areas: professional education, leadership development, career services, and market intelligence.
“Previously, ACS career-related resources were organized as separate entities,” says Martha Lester, director of professional advancement at ACS, which publishes C&EN. “By bringing them together under one brand, we are creating a synergistic suite of services and making them more visible to members so that they can fully benefit from them.”

Are you ready for the ACS Career Fair?
ACS Career Navigator™
Put your best foot forward at the ACS Career Fair, March 22-24. Come prepared for any questions that may come your way. Make sure you work on your 30-second elevator pitch. Ask for information you could not find on the employer's website. Show employers what you know, and ask for more. Practice with a fellow professional before attending the Career Fair and ask them to treat you as though they had never met you before. Review the most common and the most difficult interview questions prior to attending the event, and make sure that you have an answer to each one.

Everything is Generative
Medium, John Pavlus
The most important lesson I learned about successful, productive freelancing in 2010 was this: everything is generative.
In plain English, that means this: Doing trumps planning. There’s no such thing as wasted work or projects. And whatever you do almost always snowballs into more of the same…whether you like it or not.
