Here are some of the questions I ask:

  • What discipline of civil engineering are you involved in and how long have you been practicing?
  • Are you considering government employment or working with a private contractor who is working for the government?
  • Where do you see yourself in your career 10 years from now?
  • What makes your work fulfilling?

In episode 077 of The Civil Engineering Podcast, I talk with Christian Knutson, P.E., PMP, who has hosted several episodes of this podcast. Chris provided a framework that he has used to make many career transitions, and also talked about building the confidence needed to make engineering career transitions.

Here are some of the questions I ask Chris on career transitions:

  • Tell us about some of the career transitions you had to deal with?
  • What are some of the skills and strategic approaches one should take when transitioning in their career?
  • How can engineers build their confidence and adopt a mindset towards taking risks in their careers?
