Strategies for Shifting Your Engineering Career from Domestic to International

In this session of The Engineering Career Coach Podcast, I help a young electrical engineer develop a plan for shifting his career from a domestic position to an international engineering career.

Fadi is a 28 year-old electrical engineer from New York City. He is originally from Iraq and received a scholarship for a Master’s degree in New York. He then obtained an internship doing design engineering and was later offered a full time position with the same company where he works today. He has been thinking about making a shift from working in communications engineering in New York City to a global position in international infrastructure and development.

“A year from now you may wish you had started today.” – Karen Lamb

Listen to this session and learn the strategies that you can apply if you’re planning to change your engineering career path especially if you want to work internationally.

  • Try to identify some companies or prospective employers that have international work available in your field.
  • Research those companies and understand what credentials they are looking for in these international positions.
  • Once you identify these credentials, try to obtain the ones that will give you the best chance to achieve your goals.
  • Try to build a network to help you in the international arena.

Transitioning to a new career path can be difficult and time consuming, but you have to stay positive and stay focused.
