In this episode, I am going to talk to one of our listeners, Carl Humphrey, about challenges that he is facing around career planning and will give you some advice on how you can use your time wisely as an engineering professional.  There were some very interesting strategies that we discussed in this episode that I believe apply to engineers at all experience levels considering how to chart the future of their career paths.

Engineering quotes:

Here are the key points from this episode of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast:

  • The key to time management is to make sure that you put the time that you do have towards what’s important to you and what’s important in respect to achieving your goals.
  • When you have a time management issue, you must look at your personal as well as your professional goals and make sure that your time is focused on moving you closer to that goals.
  • Consider doing extra work at any engineering company so you can put that on your resume. For example, maybe you volunteer to attend evening meetings so that you can advance your learning in a certain topic.  You may not get compensated immediately in the way of salary, but it might pay off in the long term because of the knowledge you are gaining.
  • Get super clear on your goals and make sure you are focused on things moving you towards your goals and that you are not getting off-track.
  • Have a process that helps to bring you back on course, whenever you get off-track.

In the Take Action Today segment of the show, I will give you some actionable advice that you can apply to help you focus your time and energy.

About Carl Humphrey

Carl Humphrey was raised by good parents but he was a bit of a lost and wandering soul at times. Out of high school, he immediately jumped into the construction industry and learned so much but carried some demons about his past with him. Entering his thirties he knew life had more in store for him than what he had become. Starting with the spirit and branching into actions and behaviors, he exposed and examined everything that had gotten him thus far. Fast-forward to today, at this point, he has overcome many obstacles, and in doing so, he has realized that he wants to help those around him. You can follow his thoughts on his blog at www.waterebbandflow.com.

“Success is sweet and sweeter if long delayed and gotten through many struggles and defeats.”
–  Amos Bronson Alcott
