Personal Positioning for Engineers
Speaker: Paul J. Kostek
AIAA Distinguished Lecturer
In the 21 st Century the employment options we have will be expanding and changing. What we do today may not be what we do tomorrow. Success will be determined by our ability to position ourselves to take advantage of opportunity. But not all of the options will work for each person. In this presentation we will look at several employment and career options. Along with discussing the different employment options (direct/contract/self-employment) each participant will be asked to consider a series of questions on each of these options. We will also look at the following career options: large company versus small company, and management track versus technical track.
