Ha! Good timing. Hope this helped! Let me know how it goes.

You’re welcome. Hope it helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for watching! I hope it helped.

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. I hope it helps.

​@@NenadPeter Sir one request. Can you make resume building video especially for electrical engineering students.

@bao-wangko7569 good idea. Thank you for the suggestion. I do have a “Resume Tips” video : ( Electrical Engineering Resume Tips-Expert Advice From a Hiring Manager ua-cam.com/video/otUGEQnulcg/v-deo.html) But I will also make a similar video such as this one. Cheers

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for the comment and for watching. Are you in engineering or another field?

Thank you for watching and for your comment.

Absolutely. It depends on your role and your goals. Of course this video is my opinion and perceptions of what I’ve seen. Thank you for watching and for your comment, much appreciated! Question for you about HR: wouldn’t an in person/ hybrid schedule be most beneficial to your employees as that would show that you care/are there for them? Thanks

@@NenadPeter I live in Europe and I'm an HR in the retail sector, as you know our european work culture is quite different. With that being said, I think it totally depends on the sector you're working at: if the job can be totally done on a laptop (IT, Marketing, UX/UI/Finance, etc), there's no justification or need to have mandatory in person or hybrid system to have people at the office to care for them: nowadays we have all the tech needed to care for the employees and to be there for them whenever they need. There are sectors, such as mine, where people work in stores full time, therefore I think HR should be also at the office, even though we are on a hybrid system (3 days at the office and 2 at home). People on my sector don't work at the computer, so it wouldn't be optimal to care for them remotely and it wouldn't be fair, in my opinion, to do it. I hope I answered your question.

You’re right that the work culture in Europe and anywhere outside the US is very different. Thank you for expounding.

@liam1902 thank you for this detailed comment and for watching! It is definitely case by case and you’re totally right that company politics do play a role in all of this. I’m not saying that you befriend all your coworkers and see them outside the office. But, in my experience, it’s definitely a more pleasant work day if you enjoy the company of the people you’re working with. If you don’t mind me asking, what industry are you in and are you located in the US? Again, thanks for sharing your experiences.

@@NenadPeter No problem! And apologies if my opinion came out sounding bleak lol. I work remotely as a Senior Software Engineer in the US and my team primarily works on different applications that are used by employees, agents, and customers.

No worries! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely! I’ve taken advantage of that numerous times. Have you tried it and where has been your go to spot!? Thanks for watching and for commenting!

Thanks for watching and for the comment, much appreciated! Sounds like you’re on a different schedule now. It’s interesting to see different views on this.

@@NenadPeter hybrid now and it suits me much better

Same here, I think it’s the best of both worlds

@5bobber you’re right that there is a huge demand in power. Job hopping is an option but you must be careful. When I see those resumes hop up with too many transitions, I pass on them. Thank you for watching and for commenting , much appreciated!

Look for EPC (engineering, construction, procurement) companies (i.e. Kiewit and Burns & McDonnell). They can be a bit challenging to get into without prior experience, but once your in you'll have job opportunities for the rest of your life. Power is an industry that keeps growing, so don't be afraid to job hop every couple years as it's honestly probably the best way to learn new things and get promotions.

@5bobber shared some great advice for you. It also depends on location and if you’re willing to relocate. Utilities and consulting companies like the ones mentioned have a big need for EE’s for all sorts of roles. If you have a good background in controls then substation protection & controls (P&C) engineering may be a good route for you. Is there any other types of content that you’d love to see in regard to EE and the power industry?

Thanks for watching and for the comment Joe! Good point about software engineers and California money haha

Thanks for the kind words! I need to be more consistent lol. Is there any other type of content that you’d want to see?

@@NenadPeter 🤷 I just watch random things that UA-cam throws at me

I know the feeling! Thanks for watching

Much appreciated! Thank you for watching and for the kind words.

Hello my friend. Thank you for the kind words. You need to get some experience in the EE space. If you’re having a hard time networking, I would recommend building a project yourself. That’s a good thing to put on your resume. Could be something like a Tesla coil, an e-bike, PV system, etc. Anything really just to show that you are focusing back on engineering. Collaborate with someone if you need to. A great idea for you would be attending a few career fairs if there are any around. You may need to ask your college about these. Finally, reach out to old classmates and see if anyone is hiring. If you get an opportunity to interview, research the company and the job hard. Do your homework on them. Also, I posted a video about resumes, may give you some ideas on how to clean yours up. Hope this helps!

Hope it helps!

Hi there, please feel free to send me an email. Thanks!

@@NenadPeter ok suree

Thank Sunil! Trying to get to that point!

Glad you enjoyed it!

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.

Haha! that was totally on by accident in the background lol. Glad to hear it man!
