A friend of mine recently expressed his concern about employment opportunities as mechanical engineering graduated student. He is an international student living outside of his motherland, not a native local speaker, does not have any heritage influence or connection from his family to the society or network locally in association with the economy’s recession. The only asset that he possesses is his talent.
After having watched the movie “Hidden Figures (2016)”, which gave me a lot of inspiration and ways to fight for my dream through
– Work hard and smart
– listen and watch actively
– think beyond the box and above the surface
– do homework
– research and understand the market trend
– response quickly to the technology changes
– act proactively to get ahead and prepared
– identify the right strategy to put the message through professionally
– be patient and value teamwork
– respect others and ourselves
– be aware of the difference and dynamic
With the above advice, he will have a great career in front of him if he identifies the right platform and is persistent in pursuing his passion.
