Description

I once said to a STEM headhunter that “engineers are capable of making career decisions for themselves”. She gave me a pained look that told me she was biting her tongue. This fueled my drive to build this course. If we’re intelligent enough to send people to the moon and conceive life-saving medical devices, we are more than capable of designing our own careers.

We all want to be on a career path that’s enjoyable and fulfilling, because the more you enjoy your work, the less it’ll feel like work, right? That starts by equipping ourselves with knowledge and this is your on stop shop. I provide you with every iota of information I have, including my own personal notes and examples. I share everything, telling you whether I agree with it or not, and what has personally worked for me.

You’ll walk out of this course knowing the ins and outs of the job search process and hacking strategies to stand out as the candidate of choice – the Engineer of Choice; Thereby optimizing your candidacy to land your dream or preferred position or internship in Engineering.

Along with the hand-outs, this course includes:

  • The course cheat sheet

  • An ATS-friendly resume template

  • AI/Chat GPT prompts

  • Questions the interviewers may ask you

  • My personal list of questions I ask my interviewers

And, to ensure you know where to go from there, I'm including some Add-on material:

  • Time Management Advice

  • Handling Rejection, Offer Acceptance, and Resignation

  • Negotiation Tips

Who this course is for:

  • Engineers who want to optimize their chances of landing their dream job
  • Those entering the engineering work force who want to optimize their chances of landing their dream job
  • Students applying for internships
