I want to work in the US as a chemical engineer but I graduated in Europe and I don't know if my BSChE is valid
in the US !
What do I have to do in order to work in the US ?
Do i have to pass an exam ?
Do i have to "convert" my diploma ?
Any help would be awesome,
Waiting for your kind reply,
Thanks in advance,

Your reply did not answer to my question, maybe because I have to rephrase it.
I've just got my BSChE in chemical engineering in a european university (in July 2009).
I'm aiming for an entry level chemical engineering job in the US.
During my University courses I studied everything in the metric system wich is different from the US system, this
rises question marks for me regarding the need to be certified especially to work in the US.
As an engineer I heard that I have to pass some exams in order to be able to practice.
Thanks,
Hope this is a little bit more clear,

You will need a green card and possibly a visa, but that is government requirements. If you join an international company there, and then get transferred to the U.S., they will push and pay for that process for you. If you aim to have an entry level chemical engineering job in the US, you should probably move here first, because no one is going to pay an international air fare to interview you if they can have 100 people already in the U.S. drive to the interview at no cost to them. What you want to do is going to be REALLY hard at this current time, because of the poor economy and so many people and graduates looking for jobs. Yes, you probably need to move here first just to be on equal ground.

Your reply was the most objective answer I could get on this important topic. Thank you very much. Since you have a great international work experience, can you tell any information about working in the united arab emirates or asia as an entry level chemical engineer. Do I have to worrie about any special certification in order to work, except work permit and visa?
I really apprecaite your fast and clear reply,
Thank you in advance,

You give me too much credit. I do not have "great international work experience". In fact, I have only worked abroad once in my long career, and that was 35 years ago. I really don't know what challenges you would face in trying to work in the UAE or Asia. Good luck.

My company has offices in Romania (including in your hometown Cluj Napoca) as well as in Asia (a.o. UAE, Oman, India, China, Vietnam), see http://www.tebodin.c...s/homepage.aspx I have no idea whether we have entry level positions available for chemical engineers, but if you are interested you can send me a message and we'll find out.Since you have a great international work experience, can you tell any information about working in the united arab emirates or asia as an entry level chemical engineer.

I don't say it is not possible, but it will be extremely difficult. There are not a lot of companies outside Indonesia where communication will be in Bahasa Indonesia... And being able to communicate is probably the most important requirement.I work in Engineeing Indonesian company now.
