A Report on Human Factors Career Issues and Answers: Planning A Career in an Uncertain Market http://tc.eserver.org/25675.html http://tc.eserver.org/25675.html The following paper was inspired by presentations at the career panel present at the 46th annual meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. The panel consisted of eight human factors professionals from a variety of environments and backgrounds. During this session, panelists were asked to make recommendations to those seeking information about career advancement in human factors and responded to a variety of specific questions about navigating the human factors job market. This paper provides the essence of the opinions and advice of the panelists and the questions from the audience. It is not meant to serve as a transcript of the discussion. Three key recommendations emerged from the panelists’ discussion: (1) be prepared for your search by developing a skill set you can use to market yourself to an employer, (2) be open to change and take advantage of opportunities as they arise, and (3) network. Each recommendation is discussed in its own section, followed by examples of how these recommendations helped the panelists in their own job searches.
