Engineering Career and Job Hunting Advice for August 23, 2016

Lots of new job hunting, job improving, and job retention articles have been published since my last round-up in early July. A dozen or more websites are typically looked at when collecting useful items to post here. The vast majority of articles are, IMHO, useless and appear to be written by people whose only job experience is writing employment advice for people who actually work. I'm guessing they'll someday find a cushy job in a government bureaucracy office. Fortunately, a few writers present useful information, especially pertaining to tech-oriented people like us. Some of their offerings are provided here.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
