Once again, this in no way is meant to infer that I have the professional qualifications, nor is it a discussion of professional vs. non-professional.  This thread was star…[Read more]

I did not call myself an environmental engineer.

I must admit that I didn’t really think very much about it until I posted my resume.  The firm that I used to work for often walked a very fine line between ethical/unethical, and I was often referred to as an LA in all sorts of documents.  I pointed out that I was n…[Read more]

Not really sure where I stated that I ‘would’ use the title.  I did address how I could answer a question from an RLA if asked why I used the title.

I’ve posted a reworked format, still in draft, but I am liking it much more.
I do the same with postings that I find.  I’ve got somewhere in the 60 to 70 range of folders like this.
