Unfortunately I am graduating with no industry internships 😅 I did two REUs primarily for the opportunity to go abroad for free. I have considered R&D but have heard these positions are hard to get without grad school.

The main reason I majored in ChemE is bc I’m a huge foodie and wanted to do food engineering. Food engineering is a lower paying branch of ChemE so I was wondering if it’d be worthwhile to apply to these jobs since my applications to O&G (not that I have interest in this) have been unsuccessful.

Do you think it’s worth applying to this field without experience? Is it easier to get employed here relative to other fields? What should I highlight on an application to help me get employed?

Thanks!
