4 TIPS FOR ENGINEERS TO FIND A REAL JOB

Defining Real Job
Summer internships or event volunteering in
which students enroll themselves at the college
level hardly pays them enough. So, for the
obvious reason any form or unpaid internship
might be a learning experience, even interesting
but can't shape up into a regular, daily job. But,
this doesn't mean internships are not important.
So, the question still remains what is that real
job? The perfect definition of a 'real job' is, work
that stimulates the brain, keeping it winded with
corresponding temperament and enriching it with
new challenges. A job that helps to acquire solid
skills and prepares students for more sturdy
platforms.
How to Hunt a Real Job?
When searching your first job, you might find
several vacancies with different employers but at
a point of time you should be very cautious.
Don't rush for the brands which land you in a
good earning job, but fails to provide adequate
learning. Any job that does not provide a fresher
any sort of training, exposure and process
related knowledge is just a farce. At the early
stage of your career, they must avoid jobs where
they do not get to work in proper teams.
Because working in teams needed your technical
skills that remains intact forever and the scope to
learn more also extends. Irrespective of a brand,
go for the job that gives you a chance to work in
teams, ample scope to learn and experiment.
Tips to Land in the Right Engineering Jobs
You should always try to avoid job roles that are
excessively defined. The rough edges and slop in
your job will keeps you on your feet and always
busy in figuring things out. Jobs should always
have a hint of ambiguity to surprise you when
least expected. This not only prepares you for
bigger job roles, but for life as a whole. Make
sure your first job has that characteristic.
When you are associated with the world of
engineering you should always look forward to
learn new things and no better person could
teach you, except your boss. But, it is not always
necessary you get a great boss to work with,
according to researches, it wouldn't hurt if you
work with a few bad ones! Because you often
tend to learn more from 'the bad' than the really
good ones. For example, you would always
remember what not to do in order to make you
subordinates hate you, or, how to keep your
juniors motivated. So, research about bosses are
equally important when compared to job profiles.
Always look for a job that lets you get involved in
as many projects as possible. In the naive years
of your job, try to get as much experience as you
could. The job must always be in interest of both
the company and employe as your work shall
always get highlighted under your name and not
your seniors'. Always ask for recognition if you
have contributed in projects.
If you are an engineer, this particular point could
be very unfamiliar, but would make sense, when
tried. If you have to choose from an amply
resource job always go for the former. Ingenuity
is a skill that will help you with anything you do
in your life. You develop it faster if you have to
make way with less, not more.
How to Sustain in Your Real Job!
Sometimes you might find yourself slumping in
tough situations or just countering criticism -
actively. It is very important to talk! Don't
overcompensate by saying 'yes' to everything
that comes your way, talk to your team manager,
Sr. manager, buffer the situation and seek the
reality and the source of negative. Invite critics,
court them and don't marginalize them "people
who always talk ill". Try to remain as much as
involved with the decision-making loop.
Conclusion
Engineering is amongst the most exciting and
challenging career options, but one must be
really cautions in choosing a job, Particularly, the
first. Your first job could be a temporary farce or
a learning experience. The four important points
listed above would save you from sulking and
wishing for the "Real job".
