5 Keys to Career Clarity for Engineers

October 12, 2020 By EMI

This is a guest blog by Jeff Perry, MBA

Clarity

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” ~Carl Jung

Vision, clarity, making a plan, taking action — trying to achieve these things can be extremely difficult and even anxiety-inducing in the face of great uncertainty.

Sometimes we look to other sources for guidance on what we should do next in our career and lives. Certainly mentors, guides, and coaches can be partners in this process. But in the end, the responsibility for getting clarity and living the life you want is up to you and no one else.

No one understands you better than you understand yourself. Only you have lived through every single one of your life experiences so far.

clarity

The person who has the greatest ability to unlock clarity in your life is no one other than you.

If you do as Carl Jung suggests and look inside, you can uncover some amazing truths about what you believe and what you are working to become. Clarity involves not foretelling the future, but seeing clearly our past and present circumstances, and deciding what kind of life we want to create.

Here are 5 Keys to Career Clarity for Engineers

Sustainability

In this episode, I speak with Professor Jim Tinjum, who is the Associate Chair of the Department of Engineering Professional Development at University of Wisconsin-Madison. We talk about his roughly 1300-mile, 14-day bike trip across the Upper Midwest and what made him decide to take this bike ride for sustainability.

Fire, Aim, Ready…Seizing the Initiative in Your Engineering Career

June 1, 2015 By EMI

TECC150601 - Fire Ready Aim

One hurdle that many engineers experience in their careers is taking action on the challenging professional projects that will enable them to move forward and up.  I’ve had a lot of conversations with engineers who talk about their desire to earn a certification or find a new, better position.

In fact, the conversations are the same one I’ve had with them before.  For a couple of the engineers, we’ve walked the same ground for the past twelve months.  Why is seizing the initiative in your engineering career such a challenge?

Fear is one reason.  That’s a seriously charged word, right?  It’s also a word that many don’t like to talk about because it is such an emotional word.  But I think it’s the main reason that any of us put off going after the job we want or making contact with the people that will help us get the job we want.

And that’s unfortunate.  Because someone has to have that job, it might as well be you!

Pull The Trigger, Take Action!
