	n\n\n"Job Hunting 101: Applying to Industry positions"\n\nThis presentation
	 is targeted towards students applying for technical positions in industry.
	 It will begin by describing the process of filling a job vacancy from a co
	mpany's point of view. This will give\npotential job applicants an insight 
	into a typical company's job hiring process\, which will enable them to avo
	id mistakes made by many first-time job seekers. We will emphasize the impo
	rtance of setting your\nsalary expectation\, using tools like IEEE salary c
	alculator\, before you begin your job search. We will cover how to use tool
	s like LinkedIn to network effectively and research companies. We will disc
	uss how to use job search engines\, such as Indeed\, to look for suitable j
	ob vacancies. We will describe how to approach interviews and avoid frequen
	tly made mistakes. Finally\, we will discuss how to negotiate your\nsalary\
	, a step that is frequently skipped or botched by many job seekers.\n\n\nAb
	out the Speaker\n\nDr. Kudrolli graduated from the Physics Department at Bo
	ston University in 2001.\nAfter graduation he joined his doctoral thesis ad
	visor\, Dr. William Worstell\, at PhotoDetection Systems (PDS)\, a spin off
	 startup from BU's Photonics Department.  At PDS\, he played a crucial role
	 in bringing two different Positron Emission Tomography (PET) machines from
	 conception at the BU Physics laboratory to FDA cleared medical devices.  O
	ne of the PET machines was a standalone scanner for neurological applicatio
	ns like Alzheimer's\, while the other was developed in collaboration with T
	oshiba Medical Systems to be integrated with their CT system for whole body
	 oncology applications. Since 2009\, he is Scientist and Program Manager at
	 Radiation Monitoring Devices (RMD) located in Watertown\, MA. At RMD\, he 
	manages a team of 12 scientists and technical staff to conduct research and
	 develop new technologies for x-ray and nuclear imaging applications.
