Ixpern any roience is,lhyavoneg  \npiece of the puzzle—being able to secure the job is a whole other feat. The application and interviewing process is oneof the main hurdles standing between you and a new job. In order to stand out and fully showcase your potential asa future employee, acing this stage of the hiring process is crucial, regardless of your qualifications.  \nKnowing how to apply for roles and secure the job in interviews is a skill in and of itself. In this question-andanswer (Q&A) article, hiring managers share insight into what they are looking for when hiring chemical engineers, and offer advice regarding applications, common mistakes to avoid, and interviewing. The Q&A helps clear up confusion about résumés, cover letters, and follow-up emails. Four hiring managers from different companies within the chemical process industries (CPI) participated in the Q&A: Cynthia Murphy-Ortega (Chevron), Ryan Morrison (Evonik), Adel Boussadia (SLB New Energy), and Andrea Wight (ExxonMobil) .  \nWhether you are a new chemical engineering graduate ora seasoned professional looking to change jobs, read on for tips and advice on how to ace the hiring process.  \nWhat is an underrated skill you look for in chemical engineers?  \nMurphy-Ortega: Process safety fundamentals and process control skills are two focus areas that are not consistently developed but are of paramount importance to chemical engineers. Experience working with various process simulation and digital tools (such as Aspen HYSYS, MATLAB, PI Asset Framework, and process workbooks) is essential to partnering across teams and delivering value.  \nMorrison: The ability to identify and understand the value of various chemical engineering tasks is such an  \nimportant skill in industry. Being able to properly justify the benefits of a capital project, process optimization study, or data analysis can lead to much higher rates of success. Coursework typically emphasizes the theory (and rightfully so); however, applying that theory in practice is only half the work.  \nCopyright © 2023 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) .

Our engineers require critical thinking to be successful in their roles. It is not only about the solution, but the path, the journey, and the continuous lessons learned throughout the process.  \nWight: With the  \nlarge amounts of data and information available to us constantly increasing, understanding how to apply tools like statistics, data visualization, and machine learning techniques  \nis more important than ever in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.  \nAdel Boussadia  \nAndrea Wight  \nHow do you value graduate education in your overall hiring process, regardless of position? are there newer graduate degrees you look for now that were not on your radar five years ago?  \nMurphy-Ortega: Chevron values graduate education in a variety of ways. While the majority of our entry-level chemical engineering positions target candidates with BS degrees, we also hire candidates with MS degrees for those positions, laddering the higher level of technical education to a higher starting compensation. Chevron has a select group of positions that target PhD-level chemical engineering candidates, typically organized around research activities. These positions are also recognized with a higher starting compensation commensurate with the candidate’s educational background.  \nChevron typic","cbCailtntL3I9vuy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailtntL3I9vuy","pdf",311925,"English","# Hiring process overview\n## What hiring managers look for in chemical engineers\n## How to value graduate education","[{\"question\":\"What underrated skills do hiring managers look for in chemical engineers?\",\"answer\":\"They highlight process safety fundamentals and process control skills, and stress experience with process simulation and digital tools such as Aspen HYSYS, MATLAB, and PI Asset Framework.\"},{\"question\":\"How should chemical engineers demonstrate value during interviews?\",\"answer\":\"They should be able to justify the benefits of capital projects, process optimization studies, and data analysis, translating theory into practical impact.\"},{\"question\":\"How do hiring managers value graduate education across different roles?\",\"answer\":\"Chevron evaluates graduate education through BS, MS, and select PhD-focused research roles, while also considering MBA candidates for later-stage opportunities.
