How to start your career as a civil engineer? What are the pros and cons of working in the construction industry? Construction Engineering Management student advice!
Siteng construction talk - my today's guest is Zhao a construction engineering management student who is a great example for all the people looking to start their career in construction and especially in engineering. He made a huge impression on me and what I can tell you at senior position we are looking for people like him, pro-active, positive, with great attitude and also loving the construction. Remember guys when you are starting the attitude is the most important as no one expects a big experience from you. Be active, ask questions and learn!
Few lessons from Zhao which will be the best investment in your career!
👉Ask and ask questions - otherwise you will never learn and people will think you’re not even interested.
👉Just start! No matter the position really - his contract manager started as a ground worker and I know many good engineers and managers like this!
👉Find a mentor, someone who is helping you and remember I am here for you so don’t hesitate to ask!
