Instead of setting some arbitrary goal I want to achieve, I start with my intentions, my "why?". This helps me drive to a goal that actually matters, and more importantly a goal that I will actually follow through with. I don't set goals anymore, I set intentions.

As an engineer, field visits are an incredibly powerful tool for #learning.

How do you get the most out of it? 🧐

You need to find ways to ADD value to the #project, and you need to embrace that you are there to GET value.

💡Staying humble and asking questions when you're in the field will help build trust and strengthen relationships 💡

Here are some things to keep in mind when visiting the field to help keep an open line of communication with the people you’re working with.

Have you ever had the feeling that you don't know what you're doing and you're gonna be found out to be a FAKE?!

I recently applied for a #management position, and I'm TERRIFIED 😱. Terrified that I'm not good enough to get an interview and terrified that I might actually get the position and not know what I'm doing!

I’m a gratefully recovering addict.

If you're afraid to share your struggle, that's totally ok! It takes time to build the confidence to "come out" with vulnerabilities.

I wouldn't be here without the #support of friends, family, and recovery.

What’s your #struggle? Are you being real with yourself about your shortcomings?

I’ve been hiding behind half-truths and sugar coating my reality to blind myself from what’s REAL. I’ve recently forced myself to be unapologetically honest...

Busy is an excuse for when I’m not #organized.

You won’t feel like your “keeping your head above water” if you’re #systematic about keeping track of open loops (aka your todo list).

#frustration Have you ever gotten mad or frustrated at a colleague? Friend? Loved-one? It probably has more to do with you than them!

You've gotta prime yourself for #empathy and #patience, and that takes a lot of energy. If you're ever feeling a heightened emotion triggered by someone or something, just HALT.

Getting a certificate, degree, diploma or training is a fantastic way to learn some new skills and begin developing competency.

The EXPERIENCES that I chose (or fell into) in my past that have helped to carve out the path I’m on now.

Hustle your #network. You are connected to so many people that can help you! Use that to you advantage. Get introduced to the right people.

Take your time and ask for "a moment to collect your thoughts".

Flip this question around and make IT work for YOU!
Treat this first interview question as an opportunity to get to know your “client” (i.e. the interviewer) and understand what they are looking for.

#Interviews can be intimidating. There is a lot riding on a one hour meeting with someone...

The best way to be prepared but still be genuine is to have candid conversations with your friends beforehand.

Job seekers... Target your cover letter and skip the fluff.

Your cover letter is the part of your application package that sets you apart and sells you for a SPECIFIC role. Don't be generic.
