Ihnen fehlt die Erfahrung in der technischen Konstruktion für ein Vorstellungsgespräch. Wie können Sie die Lücke effektiv schließen?

Lack of practical experience does not imply that a design concept is not well-founded. In many industries, engineering design standards must be adhered to, forming the basis of design concepts. These standards can be studied in advance of a job interview, ensuring a solid understanding of the foundational principles.

What I've seen is that when people talk about an engineering design role,they think about only the CAD aspect of it.But design is more about how intuitively you are putting together the engineering knowledge and calculations behind it.So what I personally feel is that,we have to make our basics strong,have a good understanding of design principles,calculations and most importantly a positive approach to learn new things.The CAD aspect will get automatically followed up.Present yourselves with confidence for the interview and everything will fall in place at the right time.

Varuous industries have different design standards as far as cad modelling & detailing is concerned. The only headstart one can get is to understand concepts like gd&t, fit & tolerances, basics of SOM and ISO standards

Here are useful strategies to bridge this gap and present yourself as a strong candidate. 1. Leverage Transferable Skills Problem-Solving, Analytical Thinking, Project Management 2. Gain Relevant Knowledge Online courses, Reading Industry Literature 3. Build a Portfolio of Projects Class Projects, Personal Projects, Collaborative Work 4. Network with Professionals Informational Interviews, professional Associations 5. Prepare for Behavioral Questions 6. Express Enthusiasm and Willingness to Learn Discuss how you stay updated on industry trends. Emphasize your commitment to continuous learning and professional development. 7. Tailor Your Resume and Cover Letter 8. Practice Technical Skills Practice using CAD software used in engineering

I have noticed, in my own experience, that when you start in the design world, having the basic knowledge of designing, cost analysis and manufacturing can be a great start. Standards varies depending on the industry, and that can be learnt during the process of job.

I wholeheartedly agree. soft skills are very important in all jobs, specially in engineering, since designing has to take the knowledge from various disciplines such as, security, purchasing, materials, quality, manufacturing and involve all the stakeholders.

Showcase Related Experience: Even if your experience isn’t directly in engineering design, discuss projects or coursework where you’ve had to design, innovate, or work through complex challenges. Mention any collaborative projects where you contributed to design thinking or solutions.

From my experience, oftentimes the best way to show up to an interview isn't prepared to talk about what you've done, it's about what the people in the company you're applying for have done. Do some research beforehand into past projects they've had or worked on, find out what sort of work you'd be taking on, and the best question you can ask a technical interviewer is "What project have you worked on here that you're most proud of?"

I've used analogies several times to win projects or gain a promotion. My first engineering management role was like this. The trick is to share a brief story of a time in the past where you got up to speed quickly and were able to work well with others to draw from their knowledge. If you can demonstrate confidence in taking on a steep learning curve and let your curiosity and passion for the engineering profession shine through, you can overcome a lack of direct experience.

Adopt continuous learning keeping in mind below points- 1. Join courses of government sponsored so the cost is bearable . 2. View the contents of course before enrolling. 3.Take reviews of past attendees. 4. Course must be adding an advantage in your current role. 5.Refer international standards like CIGRE etc. as self learning is best learning.

Learning and technical skill practises are two faces of a coin, neither can be neglect, you have to explore your field of expertise in all directions
