I asked them if they could live on $8 an hour. 2. Employer asked to meet my parents? General 3. Faking Enthusiasm on the Job Search 4. I have a Marijuana Medical card but can I still get an engineering job? 5. I'm curious to compare degrees levels to salary 6. Ideas on how to network for engineering jobs besides just slowly meeting people over time.
