TECC 150: Identifying and Avoiding Stagnation in your Engineering Career

Copyright: <a href='https://www.123rf.com/profile_alphaspirit'>alphaspirit / 123RF Stock Photo</a>In this episode, I talk to Josh Hein about identifying and avoiding stagnation in your engineering career. Josh tells us about the process he went through to move from a smaller engineering company to a bigger one.

Engineering Quotes:

Avoiding Stagnation

Avoiding Stagnation

Here are the key points discussed on identifying and avoiding stagnation in your engineering career:

  • The action of realizing that the atmosphere that you are in is not supportive of the growth that you want is a critical one. Try to keep a good beat, at all times, on whether or not you are in a good position to grow.
  • Your younger years as an engineer are important to your overall growth in your career.
  • When you have a LinkedIn profile, it is important to make sure your profile is looking sharp and to check in on your profile regularly. LinkedIn offers you unbelievable opportunities to reach amazing people and create opportunities in your career.
  • When an engineering company has a good structure in place, it tells you that they are organized and that there are milestones in place that can help you to increase your potential for growth and avoid stagnation in your career.
  • If you notice that you are not in a position that can yield success in your career, don’t be afraid to look for something else.
  • When you are in a job interview, be straight out blunt and ask what the potential for growth is within the company.

In the Take Action Today segment of the show, I will give you a few pointers on how you can make sure your LinkedIn profile is looking sharp.
