What are the employment directions of polymer materials specialty?

After graduation, students majoring in polymer materials and engineering can engage in scientific research and teaching, technical development, process and equipment design, technical transformation and management in the fields of preparation, processing and molding, material structure and performance, and engage in scientific research, teaching and enterprise-related work.

Specific employment direction of polymer materials and engineering specialty;

Sales market (chemical industry, raw materials)

At present, the sales of chemical products are very hot, especially the sales of polymer raw materials or products. After all, many things are closely related to our lives. At present, there are many domestic manufacturers, and foreign chemical giants have also poured into the market, and the competition is fierce. In addition to the characteristics of "low threshold and strong universality" in ordinary sales, the sales of polymer products often have certain technical requirements, which increases the entry threshold.

The first two years of sales in the chemical industry is a critical period for income and career development, because the most important channels (contacts) and skills in the sales process are basically finalized within two years. In order to cultivate sales suitable for enterprises, most enterprises accept fresh graduates. And we should choose the enterprise suitable for our own development and think about our own career development.

Doing sales is hard, but doing it well is often the fastest way to make money. Unlike doing technology, it is a steady stream of income. If you want to move up in your career, you must rely on your abilities and opportunities. With ability and confidence, there is a future. Students with strong ability can become senior sales after working for a few years, and become sales director, marketing director and vice president after more than ten years, and their future and "money path" will be very different.

2. Production direction (product supply chain)

I believe that students have seen a "tall" term in the presentation or recruitment information: product supply chain. Supply chain is very important for enterprises, which directly or indirectly affects product quality, product cost and customer service. Supply chain management involves all links from suppliers to end users or consumers.

Small partners who want to participate in product production can choose to work in a certain link of the supply chain (planning, organizing and controlling materials and services), or they can choose students majoring in supply chain management, which will have a good development prospect in the future. Guan Peisheng needs job rotation more than a certain link of work. He can learn the knowledge of his own department and the corresponding partner departments at the same time, laying a good foundation for the later development.

Every link of the work is technology-oriented. Taking procurement quality management as an example, ordinary people can't buy cheap equipment or raw materials under the siege of a group of sales elites. Therefore, students who want to purchase, you need to know not only the technology, but also all the market information of the purchased products.

Generally speaking, the development direction of purchasing quality management is from an ordinary buyer to a purchasing supervisor, to a purchasing manager, and then to a purchasing director. The job development direction of other links is similar to that of procurement, and the requirements for ability and salary are also promoted layer by layer. After the rotation, Guan Peisheng will be assigned to the position that can best show his personal ability, and he can develop in the direction of regional operation after having experience.

3. Research and development direction

R&D engineers recruited by enterprises, universities or research institutes are generally required to be graduate students. It is quite difficult to get into a funded university, so Xiao Shuo, who studies polymers, wants to do research and development. At present, it can only be admitted to ordinary scientific research institutes and ordinary enterprises (helpless, R&D requirements are too professional). First-class foreign chemical companies, such as 3M, Dow, DuPont, etc. Generally, they tend to recruit doctors, although the treatment is good.

R&D work in foreign companies is not as important as expected. It is suggested that young masters interested in R&D should seriously consider the enterprise. After all, there are many doctors in large enterprises, and it is inevitable to attach importance to doctors, but superfine product should not be discouraged. Sometimes it's good to be a "chicken head". If you want to make a good product, education is not a problem. Many undergraduates can also make wonderful recipes.

Without brilliant products and promotion to R&D management, career development will soon hit the "ceiling". If you enter the management, the higher you go, the better your future will be.

4. Direction of science and technology management

Science and technology management department is the overlapping part of R&D department and enterprise management department. The work content is relatively extensive, and the division of labor in large enterprises is relatively detailed. Generally, the work of small and medium-sized enterprises should be involved, which is suitable for students who are not interested in technology or do not do experiments.

The main work in the early stage is to be responsible for the patent declaration and management of enterprises. The second is project application, similar to applying for funds in schools. Students who have helped tutors do this work are more experienced. But in enterprises, this kind of work needs to deal with government departments frequently and can exercise interpersonal skills. After a period of time, you will be exposed to the basic knowledge of finance, sales, management and human resources, which can be used as a springboard to improve your ability. It also includes information management. In many excellent large companies, this work is done by special departments, including the establishment and maintenance of information management systems, and even the competitive intelligence of enterprises.

Some patent work can develop towards patent agents after obtaining relevant certificates. The patent agency industry requires high professionalism and must have a certain knowledge background to adapt to patent agencies in related disciplines. Because as an agent, you must be able to look up patents, read patents and analyze patents in order to help your customers successfully apply for patents and even get authorization.
