Jim McDonald’s industry experience ranges from chemical process engineering to research and development, from civil engineering to defense electronics, from semiconductor manufacturing to information systems, and construction management. His forty-year career started in industrial relations for FMC’s Inorganic Chemicals Division in Newark, California. In addition to his experience as a human resource consultant, Jim’s corporate experience included positions for Stanford Research Institute (SRI International), Bechtel Engineering, Textron’s Dalmo Victor Division (later acquired by the Singer Corporation, General Instrument, and the Litton Defense Industries), IT Solutions, and, finally, the URS Corporation.
Jim’s perspective on occupational success is rooted in his own experience in managing employee and corporate change during periods of substantial economic growth and recession, corporate acquisitions and divestures, and general upheaval. His experience spans the human resources life cycle, from employment to downsizing, from domestic to international compensation, from employee relations and unions to management training. Jim’s experience has provided a unique insight on how individual strengths and smart occupational strategies have led many to occupational success.
