here some information for the readers who are planning to join engineering

This series about all things engineering - That Engineering Life. In the first part, we spoke about cracking the JEE, the effort that goes into it and what happens once your scores are out. The second part spoke about the life of an engineering student - expectations, realities, and opportunities. In this third and final installment, we will look at what kind of life you can expect after you complete your engineering degree. Apart from doing our own research, we also spoke to engineers and asked them about their experiences. Here’s what you can do after engineering, what to expect during the job hunting phase, probable pitfalls, and other reality checks you must consider.

Fantastic Jobs and How to Find Them

Regardless of your major or engineering stream, you will have jobs, but they’re not as many and definitely not easy to get. Keep an eye out for college placements and make sure you have the technical expertise as well as all the right soft skills you will need for getting a job. Remember; you could be a topper in class, but without the right soft skills, your marks won’t get you all that far.

Another important aspect you must consider during your course is internships. Recruiters always favour a CV with some kind of experience on it, so the more internships you take up, the higher your chances of employment go.

If you’re only relying on four years of college lectures to get you a job, you’ve got another thing coming. Mere textbook knowledge is what 95% of your class already has. What sets you apart is the soft skills you come with, and the internship experience you gain.

Placement Cells

Before you even begin college, ask - Does your college have a placement cell? What kind of companies come to recruit from your college every year? What are the positions they recruit for?

It makes a difference if you already know where your interests lie, as you can plan your semesters and internships accordingly. Taking up relevant internships adds weightage to your resume, as it speaks volumes about your focus and on-the-job training, as you’ve already had a dry run and understand what goes into holding down a job. Job placement activities usually begin by December in most institutes. Contact the student body or training cells of your college for more information.

Network to Get Work

While placement cells are a great avenue to securing a job, understand that many jobs are not advertised. They are filled in through referrals. Networking with your seniors and peers will only help you with your career. With the advent of the Internet, it is becoming easier to keep in touch with people. It could be a difficult skill to acquire, but trust us, you will need it.

Apply for Jobs Online

Online job portals like Naukri.com, Monster.com, Shine.com and others list postings for all kinds of jobs, including engineering. However, there may not be many jobs that’d be a 100% relevant to your field. As you browse through these portals, you could also shortlist organisations you want to work with and upload your CV to their websites directly. Create an account on LinkedIn as well, as you can network with other people to find out about exciting opportunities. Make sure your LinkedIn profile is updated at all times and you keep making new connections regularly.

Approach Career Counsellors

Can’t decide which path to follow after your graduation? Or are you wondering if engineering is even the right choice for you? If you’ve come at a crossroads, remember that it is never too late to seek help. Just make sure you’re getting the right kind of help. Career counselling with the right experts will help you solve your dilemma and understand which career path you’d actually enjoy and excel at. We’d be more than happy to help you seek the clarity you’re looking for.

coming to the Bob character

Bob still in the expectations

From the day he gotten into college, he probably daydreamed about his life as a working professional. Finding a job is his first real experience as a functional, contributive adult. However, as all adults will agree, not everything will work out his way and he must be prepared the worst. It’s highly likely that he won’t get that dream job at the first go. Applying for a job is a long-winded, often exhausting process - it takes multiple, detailed interviews before he actually make it.

Bob is in the expectation these are all his expectations not reality?

will he get reality life?
