TECC Community Questions Answered engineering career
In this session of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, Chris Knutson and I are going to answer questions from our listeners asking for career advice.

“Ideally, since 80 percent of your life is spent working, you should start your business around something that is a passion of yours. If you’re into kite surfing and you want to become an entrepreneur, do it with kite surfing. Look, if you can indulge in your passion, life will be far more interesting than if you’re just working. You’ll work harder at it, and you’ll know more about it. But first you must go out and educate yourself on whatever it is that you’ve decided to do–know more about kite surfing than anyone else. That’s where the work comes in. But if you’re doing things you’re passionate about, that will come naturally.” – Richard Branson

In the Take Action Today segment of the show, we give you some tips on how you can stand out as an engineer.

Six Action Items for Differentiating Yourself as an Engineer by Doing Things that You Are Not Always Supposed to Do

In this session of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, I am going to give you six action items you can use to differentiate yourself in the industry. Please note, most of these actions are the opposite of what most people will tell you to do.

engineering career“The job is what you do when you are told what to do. The job is showing up at the factory, following instructions, meeting spec, and being managed.

Someone can always do your job a little better or faster or cheaper than you can.

The job might be difficult, it might require skill, but it’s a job.

Your art is what you do when no one can tell you exactly how to do it. Your art is the act of taking personal responsibility, challenging the status quo, and changing people.

I call the process of doing your art ‘the work.’ It’s possible to have a job and do the work, too. In fact, that’s how you become a linchpin.

The job is not the work.” 

― Seth Godin, Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?

The Take Action Today segment of the show will highlight one of the items discussed that can give you immediate results.

In this session of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, I give a young engineer some guidance on concerns she has, including lack of engineering-design experience and which master’s degree is best to pursue.

While much of my content on this site focuses on the development of core or nontechnical skills, getting the proper technical and engineering-design experience is also important as an engineer, especially when you are starting your career. Unfortunately, many engineers get trapped in a job in which, for whatever reason, they are not getting this experience. This session offers engineers with this dilemma some strategies for overcoming it.

“A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success.” – Elbert Hubbard
