Taking the NanoPulse -- Help Wanted: Nanotechnology Experts

Abstract:
It's May, and all across the U.S. newly minted bachelors, masters and PhD grads are job hunting. For businesses, it's the perfect time to add staff from the new crop. If you're a nanotechnology company like mine, you probably have a good feel for what you need and how to go about attracting the right people. But I find that when I speak at non-nanotech industry conferences my Q&A sessions are filled with questions about hiring. How do you find the right person who can bridge the gap between your core business and nanotechnology? Who's the right person to help you find new ways to integrate the power of nanotechnology into products? Where do you start looking? Sure, there are nanotech job listings sprinkled across the web, but how do you write the job description?

Let me be your hiring manager for a few minutes. I've been adding staff to Nanofilm for 25 years, and I've learned a few things -- sometimes through trial and error. If you're serious about leveraging nanotechnology for your company, here are six questions to help guide you.
