Sir could you suggest me how to get a job as fresher beginner after 4 yrs of gap due to family reasons, i am a hvac design engineer in Aec Hvac construction industry completed my studies then internship of 6 months also experience in 2019 but i haven't joined any company bcoz my mother was working alone here in my hometown so i helped her with domestic works etc but now i am free after this month to hunt for a job so i am anxious about how should i plan or approach the upcoming challenges now to get hired effectively without wasting time or coming across as unprofessional in any way infront of recruiters ? What books would be useful to read for around this topic to know more about getting selected faster in company ??
Hello, thank you for your comment. Have you taken any classes in your interim? Taking care of family is an important thing to do which shows good character and loyalty. I would be honest on your resume and note that reason for your gap. You can write something like “ full time care taker for family” and also what you learned from that. In the meantime, read up on new trends in your industry and get involved in any professional societies so that you get the vernacular back, etc. Go to careers fairs also. I’m actually editing a video on that topic right now. As for any books, the one I recommended there “convince them in 90 seconds” (amzn.to/3EyGswh) is a great starting point. It’s not just an “interview better” book, it’s more on being better in any business conversation. It’s helped me many times. Remember, you need to just get out there and give yourself as many opportunities as possible. Don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t happen as quickly as you think. I hope this helps and best of luck!
@@NenadPeter It means a lot 😊 Thanks a Ton !! Could you also tell i always had a question in mind people used to say my english is good but you need to work on it but now after 2 months i would be working in some company office related to my field of construction hvac design & site engineering, so just out of curiosity i want to ask what level of impact would my english speaking or writing skills have on my growth in the work & earning promotions ? Also does being a fluent/perfect speaker increase our value drastically ? In terms of payscale & rising up the ladder.. could you share some examples of people who have benefited..
I do believe that communication is very important when looking to advance. Id say that it’s more important if going down the managerial route then say becoming a subject matter expert. The good news is that you can always learn and improve! My story is a good example. I learned English at age 6, much easier to do of course, and I lost the accent. My parents however still retain theirs but each have very successful careers in engineering. In some ways, it’s a strength to them. Much of it is about your perspective. If you perceive it to be a major weakness, then it is.
@@NenadPeter Insightful tips ! Yes i do want to become an expert after some years of experience & will be looking for starting my own solopreneurs or entrepreneurial journey with construction air conditioning projects business in hvac or plumbing system with help of Bim software's like revit etc my primary focus is mostly on making a lot of money .. if you could suggest any books that would help me for all these then it will wonderful for me to pursue the path with some clarity.. as i don't want to get stuck in that pattern of low paid employee with long working hours ..
I fully understand wanting to go down your own path. I ended up doing just that for a few years. The best book I’ve read on entrepreneurship is “The E Myth” by Michael Gerber (amzn.to/44Lf2ya). There are many others but that’s a great starting point.
