Looking to learn what early‑career engineering really looks like after graduation? Join us for an engaging info session with Carly Thorkildson, an Oregon State University Chemical Engineering alum and current Application Technologist at Arclin.  

Carly is only a few years out of OSU, and she’s bringing an honest, practical, and encouraging look at navigating internships, landing that first role, and building confidence as a new engineer.

She’ll share:

• How she secured internships and her top tips for interviewing, outreach, and getting your foot in the door
• What she learned as a Sales Tech working in non‑lab engineering roles
• How her current role as an Application Technologist at Arclin compares—and what the day‑to‑day really looks like
• Why your first job doesn’t have to be your forever job
• Resume insights and technical advice for students preparing for industry
• What she did during college to set herself up for success

Arclin is an international company with opportunities across many locations, and Carly will also highlight the types of projects she supports—including work on Firepoint Fire‑Rated Sheathing.
