I graduated in May, with a BS in Chemical Engineering....the problem is that I am still unemployed.  Do any of your fellow hoosiers have any good connections?  I promise to spend my first paycheck at the gunstore!

Hey!
Quick question...what is your line of expertise? Lubricants,medical,????

Have you tried BP there in Whiting? I'm sure you're very familiar with distillation & fractionation.

There's Eli Lilly in Lafayette and also Great Lakes Chemical I believe.

ALL ININDY:

Praxair and their smaller industrial coatings division are both in Indy.

Lilly Industries, Not related to eli Lilly.  they do industrial coatings.  Goofy place, but you need a job.

Reily Chemical. Another interesting place

Check out Heritage Environmental Group.  All of their companies have grown, one division does haz mat stuff all over the US.

I am not sure how much is left here at Dow Chemical.  Bug killer group.  People claim the glowing ghosts of the dead test animals can be seen at night.  (joke)

Keep an eye on:

Materials Engineer and Engineering Technician positions open right now.

Thanks for all of the replies!
I don't really have a specialty, Im just a plain entry level Chem-E.

BP: I'll look into that

Lilly: Trying my best to get into Lilly.  My brother (Pfizer transplant) starts next month at Lilly.  Im hoping he can help his little brother out...

Great Lakes: No luck

Praxair: I watch their job postings regurlary

Reilly: No luck

Heritage: Haven't tried lately.  I'll try again

Dow: Talked to a recruiter last week (no positions)
