As you may already know, for reasons out of my control and even my company’s control, I lost my first-ever full-time engineering job due to the recession that we’re in. I was sad at first, but I’m over it now, and I’m just job-hunting for the next one! But looking back, there are a few things I wish I had done differently. Timestamps are as follows:
00:00 Intro
00:09 Be “Open to Work”
01:12 Take a TON of pictures of Everything
02:10 During Tough Time, It’s Every Man for Himself
03:07 Setting Boundaries
04:53 The Benefit of Hybrid Work
06:53 Overcommunicate
07:30 Don’t Fall into the Pit of Meetings
08:15 Time-Blocking
P.S. I know I uploaded a video similar to this yesterday, but there were some mistakes in it, so I had to re-edit and re-upload :)

You’re an awesome engineering content creator, man. Literally one-of-a-kind.
Well, I'm glad that you realized that some things aren't worth all the pain, the struggle, time, and effort we put into. Praying for you to find better chances or maybe create your own startup.
Excellent advice man. Thanks for the upload
Glad you show the highs and lows and aren't someone that just tries to show everyone their brightest moments... also appreciate you really breaking down what you could've improved
I am glad u got over this layoff
Stay strong
This info about boundaries is usually learned the hard way, thanks for including that
Thanks tamer for helping us out.
Wise men learn from others.
Smart men learn from their mistakes.
i just stumbled accross ur channel and im actually impressed by how organized and straight to the point they are. Im currently trying to figure out whether i want to study cs or mechanical engineering so i thought ur videos might help especially since uni application deadlines are nearby and i need to make a decision fast so im pretty stressed out. Im egyptian too and its great to find someone like me succeed and have a similiar goal like mine mashallah. Great work bro ur an inspiration!
I am a student right now at the technical university studying Biotech and every video you post is so insightful to the things that are real life. You show huge amount of useful information and literally simplify things that we (students) would be stuck on otherwise.
That is unpleasant that everything came out that way with u, but I’m sure you’ll find ur new p job as captivating as ur previous one if haven’t yet :)
Good luck and take care!
Great video, Tamer! These were some really good insights 🎉
Great video. Good luck with the job search!
Thank you for sharing your experiences, they are really valuable for someone like me that will enter the work field in the near future.
A lot of life wisdom and growth in this life chapter for you. It’s cool too see that you can keep your cool.
great vid Tamer! I love the first tip of always interviewing. I agree it's super important even if it's hard to convince yourself to do so. interviewing and checking out other opportunities can only help you!
Thanks man, for good lesson
You are my favorite mechanical engineer content creator, Tamer! Keep doing a good job, you are an inspiration to many. I often keep in touch with your content since I was in college up until now that I am job hunting. Your videos reach here in the Philippines. I like your content bro. God bless you!
quite informative content as always, we learn something from everything don't we? thanks for the effort !
Incredible value in those lessons.
Ver cool and useful information , its a great way to learn from your mistakes and build new ways to improve yourself ,I really like your mindset and your really influencing me to become more productive even though im still in collage in my final year
Thank you so much! You are awesome
Hey man I am in the exact same boat as you. I have been interviewing a lot but no final offers. Economy is not doing too hot and I was wondering if you could make a video on your job hunt process. I am sure a lot of people would benefit from that. Thanks and good luck on your job hunt you got this!
whats your degree?
This was a great video with great tips, I always watch yours as soon as I get a notification. Could you do a video on everything you know about computer engineering?
Thank you so much for these tips! I am currently a graduate student but I'll be graduating this year and joining the engineering workforce soon. Sorry you have to deal with being laid off without any notice :/ that seems so rude to do. Hope that your new job treats you better!
Randomly stumbled upon this because it was in my suggested, probably because I am a software engineer. I think I might have met you at Qahwah house in Illinois (I was Ed Sheeran look-alike). Your videos are great quality and really good info for aspiring engineers. Good luck on your next opportunities and keep up the good work!
Currently a Manufacturing Engineer who does a lot of fixture design and routing work in SAP.
I can confirm this video is very accurate all around. I laughed at a lot of your comments about meetings as I actively sit in a few that never have anything to do with me most times💀
Hi Tamer, thank you for sharing your journey. I hope you all the best. It caught my attention that the gloves at 6:55 has the Egyptian flag on them. Can you share more about your origin and background?
Great video.
Personally as a design engineer with 2 young kids (ones a baby), and i think i may also have some sort of undiagnosed ADD...i hate working from home and im literally so unproductive, it gives me guilt. Id much rather be in an office around other co workers to soak up information, collaborate, and socialise, letalone getting my hands dirty on the shop floor/workshop.
I agree with over communicating. Sometimes, you do forget all the details of what you are working on. Might as well lay everything out on the table just to cover the basics.
Make a video about what parameters you considered when buying your 2008 Honda Civic
Can you do a practice video on interviews for engineers who is trying to get hired, please? For instance, how you did the interview with your old job.
He already has

May Allah make it easy for you
canada what r u doing there ya man! USA is the present and the future good luck :D
Hi! Im a senior in Highschool, and I am preparing to go to college. My question is: what are things I can do now to prepare to be a future engineer? I really like your videos and they have been very helpful!
I struggle with making sense with wasting the time of managers with interviewing even though I know I won’t accept the offer.. what would you suggest? Is it okay to still enter the interview process even if you already know you won’t accept the offer?
I’m currently working as a Mercedes technician at 20 years old. Also I live with my parents. I’m gonna get my AA in mechanical engineering in summer but once I get to university I don’t know how im going to balance full time and school. Im making really good money too so letting go of this trade would be tough. But in the end I would like to be an engineer. Advice?
What if you tried reaching out to those recruiters who contacted you while you had a job to see whether they have anything right now?
Do you have graduate schemes over in the states? Have you considered one?
It’s a little concerning that you are having employment issues given how good your resume is.
With the skill set you have along with the projects you’ve completed and experienced gained via internships it’s just unbelievable companies aren’t snapping you up.
Hopefully in the U.K. the market is a lot better when I graduate.
Having said all this, in your first job you was making over $100k. Which is incredible.
My first job on a graduate scheme will be around $32k (£28k)
Is it reupload?
Bring a new vedio on resume building
Would you prefer taking hand written notes or iPad notes as i am heading into 2nd year electrical engineering and unsure what note taking method to use? Thanks
I am in my final year and i prefer taking notes on paper. There is just something to it, that my iPad doesn’t have and i feel like i get less tired.
Best advice is iPad. Yes it may seem more tiring. Especially if you are an engineer because you WILL be changing colors and perfecting things.
But iPad notes are way easier to find when you are in your senior year and reviewing a class from the year before. No notebooks or papers!! You can find answers so so fast! Honestly put me above par my senior year.
Don’t get me started on pdf textbooks. Yeah. Saved so much time rather than flipping pages. Search is the best!!
Egypt tshirt Then Egypt Gloves ❤🔥
Bro make a video for Mechatronics Engineering
He has one video where he compares mechatronics to mechanical engineering
I got laid off the same way. They told me I was doing great on Monday, and then Friday, they let me go.
what major?
Is this a re upload?
Yes
اتمنى لو انه يوجد ترجمة عربية ❤
totally disagree with OVERCOMMUNICATION

The best decision I ever made in life was investing in financial markets. Trust me guys it pays a lot. And I've come to realize that trading bitcoin is more profitable than holding it and wait for it to skyrocket
After I came across investment platform of Mrs Lucy Baldwin my financial life has totally changed. I'm not bothered about the market fluctuations.
Mrs Lucy Baldwin is my professional assistant, I have been trading with her for years now. I've really made over $200,000 from her strategies in trading of cryptocurrencies.
I need her help, my investments aren't holding up well and I'd like to be making weekly profits, how can someone reach out to her??!!
A transformation from my investment of $4000 to a $15, 400 in just two weeks, so😊
Crypto currency is one strong means people are raising their financial status now, so when you think of investing I will always recommend you to my current broker Mrs Lucy Baldwin . She changed my life totally.
