College day for me, but what a great day it has been! Today, we had careers fair at MidKent College where I had great conversations with Siemens Energy, Genco Construction Services Limited , CC Cousins, Trinity Claims, Golding Homes, St. Modwen Homes and more! My conversations went from new #housebuilds, #electricalplants at National Grid, #quantitysurveying, #hvac, #surveying, #iosh and #nebosh to #retrofitting. I can’t wait to dive into #surveying and even told one company that I am a RICS student member already. Nick Inge I saw your Itrust logo and mentioned you today. I watched a bit of the process whilst the work for installation of the #groundsourceheatpumps took place on our college campus. I even spoke about taking the #retrofit coordinator course that the college will offer. Then in college we are preparing for our next assignment so I did work on Hooke’s Law (elasticity of materials) and researched how to achieve #fireprotection in a #commercialbuild. I have an exam on fire protection soon. Not to mention, I finally managed to get the car cleaned. A productive day I’ve had I should say! 😊😁 Besides the lovely weather, what more could I have asked for? 👷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️ #constructionindustry #builtenvironment #residentialconstruction #engineering #surveying #insfrastructure #projectmanagement #womenintoconstruction #construction #civilengineering

🌿Attending the Concordia University Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science career fair talk on Career Journeys in Building and Environmental Engineering with Hanqing Wu, Saba Saneinejad, Ph.D. and Neetha Vasan from RWDI. 🏗 The connections between architecture and engineering and how to craft your career path 🏗 How to make your resume stand out in the eyes of recruiters 🏗 Having an architectural background and going into engineering makes you an interesting candidate to employers - consider applying for positions! 🏗 #Customize your CV for every job application based on the job description 🏗 There are many factors in the #jobmarket which can explain for a lower response rate - try not to get discouraged 🏗 Not all paths are straight-forward, some return to school after a career, some pursue academics throughout - there is not one right route 🏗 This is a dynamic field, responding to #climatechange We are so #grateful for our Concordia Alumni for taking the time to speaking with our students!

Career Opportunities

How I landed my first full-time job in the United States as an international student? Many individuals do not share this, but it is worth sharing my strategies in hopes it might assist some of you. From my first day as a graduate student in civil engineering at University of Notre Dame, I started submitting applications for a several positions using the following strategies: 1. I selected the library as my second home and scheduled two hours per day for only researching and learning from YouTube about the best techniques to get a wonderful career. 2. I applied to roughly five hundred positions through LinkedIn, Handshake, and email through my master. 3. I concentrated on my LinkedIn page and how to make it an appealing tool for attracting recruiters and increasing my network contacts to over 500 professionals in a few months. 4. I followed my university professors' guidance and recommendations while requesting them to refer to my resume (Miss you all!). Notre Dame Master of Engineering (MEng) 5. I attended every single job fair and attempted to speak with the owners personally and shared with them some innovative ideas that i have. 6. I updated my résumé and attached some qualifications to my applications, such as OSHA. 7. and a lot more. However, I am sharing this with you for a couple of reasons: 1. The market is crazy, therefore work hard on yourself and smartly towards your goals. 2. Never accept "NO" without feedback. 3. If you believe in your skills and your dreams, everything will work out and assist you achieve them. Finally, I am still developing myself, and if I do not reach the stars, I will certainly reach the sky! Have a wonderful future, dreamers! #civilengineering #civilengineeringstudent #civilengineeringworld #civilengineeringstudents #civilengineeringdiscoveries #civilengineeringlife #civilengineeringdaily #civilengineeringexplore #civilengineeringproject #civilengineeringwork #civilengineeringblog #civilengineeringtechnology #civilengineeringstructure #civilengineeringthings #civilengineering_world #civilengineeringgirls #civilengineeringtshirt #civilengineeringshirt #masterofcivilengineering #civilengineeringupdates #civilengineeringmajor #civilengineeringpak #bscivilengineering #civilengineeringideas #nationalhistoriccivilengineeringlandmark #civilengineeringworks #civilengineeringgraduate #heavycivilengineering #civilengineeringservices #civilengineeringcake #civilengineeringsocial #bachelorofscienceincivilengineering

Two truths: 1. The transition from education to employment is hard. 2. Today's engineering graduates expect a different type of career than those hiring them have (mostly) had. The Structural Engineers Association - Metropolitan Washington (SEA-MW) hosts a conference and career fair each year to address these two challenges, and I'll be the keynote speaker. I was very flattered to be asked, particularly as the request came from a young professional with whom I've worked in the past. Here's my ask: ❓ Are you an #engineer with less than three years of experience? What do you wish you knew as you moved into your first career role? ❓ Please share in the comments, or message me directly. I promise to respect your confidentiality as I share stories. SEA-MW leadership team, thanks for your trust! Ammar Motorwala, PE | Krissia Ortiz, EIT | Chris Bird | Nicole Rung, EIT | Aaron Policow, E.I.T. I've linked the event in the first comment.

One of my hopes is that in the near future, the terms Building Inspector, Plans Examiner and Building Official (and terms similar thereto) will be recognized in career assessments that younger people take, and we'll have representation at job fairs. I have filled out many varying forms where my means of employment was necessary to indicate, including when I took my assessment after leaving the Navy. The only reason I knew about the building inspection industry, at that time, was because the college I was going to attend had a BIT (Building Inspection Technology) program. Before this, I had no idea what the role really entailed. Architect, Engineer, Construction Manager, Superintendent, and Planner are in most of these assessments but nothing relating to the code official industry; only "government" or "public service". The reasons this needs to change? 1. The public has no idea what these roles are and what training and education is needed to fill one of them, especially Building Official. 2. This further legitimizes the code official title within society's understanding of various career paths. 3. With many seasoned professionals retiring within the next 5-10 years, these roles need to be filled and our communities deserve people dedicated to approaching these roles as careers that require a great deal of training and education. #career #careerassessment #job #publicservice #codeofficial #buildinginspector #planexaminer #buildingofficial #communitydevelopment
