The panel is designed to help an individual decide on a specialization in human factors/ergonomics and to prepare to enter the human factors job market. Panelists were selected to represent a cross-section of the field, and are from the following sectors: the electronics industry (Megan Brown), loss prevention research (Max Fogleman), academia (Joe Goldberg), the computer industry (Dick Granda), the government (Joe Hale), and consulting (Liz Sanders).

Welcome to the Thirteenth Annual Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Student Career Panel. This years paper emphasizes the importance of career planning and preparation throughout the graduate school experience. It addresses tried and tested techniques as well as new ideas for finding the ideal career path and position. Early career preparation (or even taking remedial action) both enhances the graduate school experience and helps to secure the ideal job. Beyond the position statements found below, the panel itself will address questions from the audience about career preparation. A second paper will be produced, based upon the panel presentations and discussion, and will be available upon request to session attendees and included alongside this paper in the 2007 edition of the Career Resource Guide.

Building a new user experience department requires skills in management, team development, organizational design, and strategy. There are few published resources specifically targeted at human factors analysts who have accepted the challenge of creating a UX department. All of the panelists have successfully developed UX departments in large organizations, and will discuss their lessons learned in the process of building their teams.

Welcome to the Sixteenth Annual Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Student Career Panel. While our typical career panel emphasizes what one should do to prepare for a career in a “typical” year, 2009 is anything but typical. The economy is changing every day and so too is the job market for Human Factors (HF)/Ergonomics (E) graduates. About the only certainty is that the economy and associated job market will likely change from month to month over the course of the year. Thus, our panelists have chosen the theme “Toward a Stable Career in an Unstable Job Market” for our 2009 panel. We solicited questions for this paper from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) student members. The California State University Northridge Student Chapter members then selected the best six questions for the panel to address in this paper. Many of the recommendations in this paper are tried and tested techniques, which should apply well even in this unstable environment. Some are new ideas, which the professionals on our panel deem especially appropriate today. At the annual meeting panel discussion, panelists will provide a brief introduction and then entertain questions from the audience regarding career preparation in todays environment. A subsequent paper will be published on the HFES website summarizing the panel discussion.

Welcome to the Fifteenth Annual Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Student Career Panel. While our typical career panel emphasizes what one should do before graduation to prepare for a career, it is equally important to know what to do once one starts to work on the job. Thus, this years paper will begin with a section by Anthony Andre, emphasizing the final preparations for a new professional career as well as the job search itself. The remaining papers will discuss what to do after beginning ones career. Anshu Agarwal will discuss the first 90 days on the job, Sharnnia Artis will discuss the remainder of the first year, and Raegan Hoeft will discuss the second year. Ron Shapiro will close by focusing on the subsequent term of a given job. This paper will present tried and tested techniques as well as new ideas towards preparing for, finding, and experiencing the ideal career path and position. At the annual meeting panel discussion, panelists will provide a brief introduction and then entertain questions from the audience regarding career preparation while still in school as well as success factors on the job.

Welcome to the Fourteenth Annual Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Student Career Panel. While our typical career panel emphasizes what one should do to prepare for a career, avoiding various misconstrued approaches to career preparation is as important as carrying out known beneficial approaches. Thus, this years paper emphasizes what one should “not do” in the process of preparing for ones professional career. Following the recommendations provided in this paper will enhance the graduate school experience, the post-graduate job search process and success in the job itself. Tried and tested techniques as well as new ideas towards preparing for and finding the ideal career path and position will be presented.

Welcome to the 12th Annual Human Factors and Ergonomics Career Panel. This year, the panel will impart wisdom on achieving expertise in the HF/E field. First, Jeff English defines for us what it means to be an expert and the steps to take on the journey to expertise. Arnold Lund describes the ingredients individuals possess that help them on their way to expertise and success. Ronald Shapiro will help you conduct a reality check of how you personally define success and set goals to achieve that success. Anthony Andre provides tips for new graduates on getting a job in a market that is increasingly emphasizing experience. Finally, Janet Creaser has a few words about some of the advice she has put into practice in the past two years.

Welcome to the Eleventh Annual Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Career Panel. This years proceedings paper emphasizes the importance of career planning and preparation throughout the graduate school experience. It addresses what to do if you are getting an early start on career planning and if you are fairly far along in the graduate school experience, even if you did not begin early career preparation These topics are most timely, because in a very competitive labor market outstanding preparation is vital, and if one did not do the appropriate preparation remedial action may be necessary. Fortunately, early preparation (or even taking remedial action) enhances the entire graduate school experience. The panel itself will address questions from the audience about careers preparation. A second paper will be produced by Christina Mendat, a PhD Candidate at North Carolina State University based upon the panel presentation and will be available upon request to session attendees and included alongside this paper in the 2005 edition of the Career Resource Guide.

Welcome to the tenth annual Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Career Panel. The questions answered by this panel address many of the issues that graduate students and recent graduates have about entering the Human Factors field. The goal of this panel is to help individuals interested in becoming Human Factors professionals prepare for their career. This year the panel members each prepared a brief paper to help individuals plan for, prepare for, and commence their careers. During the HFES meeting panel session, the panel will focus on questions from the audience.
