YOU LIKE TO SOLVE PROBLEMS
When they ask you about a challenging situation
where your problem-solving skills are tested, they’d
want to see how you handle those tasks and if
you can fix the problem. We all know that our jobs
require us to solve problems all the time, so expect
that you’ll be asked these kinds of questions all the
time. Hey, engineering school trained us very well
for this so this shouldn’t be a problem anymore.
YOU ARE ACTIVE IN YOUR WORK
As soon as you get the task done for the day,
your employers would appreciate it if you offer to
help with other tasks. If you end up as the perky
employee who’s always game to get a lot of job
done, you’d be one of the most favorite people in
the company.
Don’t be too perky though. Some employers might
think you’re a goody two shoes.
YOU CAN WORK WELL WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES
When they check your resume, they would ask you
what kind of organizations you worked with during
college. They’d assess how well you perform in
group activities. That would play a crucial part on
how your boss would assess you. So if you’re the
type who can easily work well with other people,
this is no problem for you.
Your future boss would appreciate you even more if
you show enthusiasm in learning new things. Share
to these people that you like to read a lot of things
to widen your knowledge on a certain topic. You can
also tell them you’re very willing to learn something
new for the job.
YOU’RE A RESPONSIBLE ENGINEER
Anybody wants to hang out with the responsible
ones inside the company so if you’re that type,
there’s a higher chance that your employers would
hire you for the job. So if you’ve had experiences
when you’ve proven yourself responsible, go
ahead and tell everyone about it. But don’t sound
arrogant though.
YOU HAVE AN AMBITION
Employers look for someone who has the drive
and determination to succeed with their job. In
short, they want someone with ambition. So go
ahead, show them that you are that engineer.
YOU ARE ALWAYS OPEN TO LEARN NEW
TECHNOLOGIES OR ENGINEERING METHODS
If you’re the type who hates change, then that
would be a disadvantage for you. Being part of a
company really requires you to learn new things to
improve your skills.
